Too bad Chronicle happened, that's probably going to make any future "teenagers get superpowers" efforts look a bit odd.

Give it some time and it'll be fine. A well-made Runaways film franchise could be the superhero movies for the harry potter generation.

Marvel regain the rights to Blade and Punisher last year.

Oh god, please no PG-13 Punisher.
Marvel Studios will not release an R rated movie.
I actually think this might be one of the reasons why there's been little to no development on the project since they regained the rights. They have to think on how to make it work as a PG-13 film.

Oh, yeah, I definitely agree it could work great, I just feel Chronicle did a good job of showcasing all the horrible bullshit teenagers would actually do if they got powers, and a Runaways film would probably be more, er, inclusive in its depiction of all that.
Granted, tonal differences and all, but they kinda have a similar concept- I think a Runaways film would have to lean heavily on the "supervillain" parents angle, at least for my liking. (They could tweak it and have one of the kids be Obadiah Stane's kid! Haha)

I think they plan on expanding this. They talked about how they wanna introduce the whole "magic" side of marvel with Dr. Strange.
It would also probably be the first movie without heavy SHIELD involvement, thus opening up things even more.
Bwahahahaha!
The White Knight Rises.
Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 seem like they're going to throw this out of the window entirely. I'm super confident that Thor 2 will be superior to the first. Might even go as far to say the same thing about IM3, too.

Smiling Stan sure knew how to fuck over his creative partners.
I think a Dr. Strange movie could be done really well in the established universe, if they play it right. Remember, he is a surgeon before becoming 'sorcerer supreme' and protector of the universe, etc. Imagine a Dr. Strange movie showing the dark and ugly side of the events in Avengers 1, all those deaths, him being in hospitals trying to patch people up etc, losing his wife or something like that (not too brushed up on my 616 Dr. Strange history), and then being 'chosen' in some form of another connected to the catastrophe of the invasion in Avengers.
Either way, he's going to be on the team in Avengers 2 in some capacity.
Regarding the film rights: Where would Spider-Woman fall? She hardly plays a role in Spider-Man comics, but the association is clearly strong.
So could she be used for Avengers or would Sony sue?
Just read the "who owns what?" and it doesn't mention Jessica Drew as part of Sony's package. So there may be hope for her. (whatever her origin would be)

Who am I kidding? They'd sue in any case, just to make sure

Give me a darkhawk movie have iron man think its his armor stolen tech or something and it would be awesome.
Moonknight would be awesome but I think it would be hard to get people interested.
Thunderbolts Movie would be awesome.

I can see it working and its definetly gonna be connected, i just expect that not by much. They could really use it as an excuse to open up things a lot more.
also fuck McDreamy and his push to play him. Dont let it happen

Well the last and first one were actually pretty great movies. Shit, just bring Ray and Lexi back again.
That is so fucking sad.
They make it as an R-Rated movie.

They could do it subtly, without implicitly saying it but it being somewhat obvious to those who've seen Avengers or one of those movies, for example. But yeah, not sure about him tbh..
What about... Johnny Depp? Liam Nelson? Hugh Laurie? :lol OR......
Ed Norton?! *shyamalantwist.jpg*

OP should mention that they're considering a Hulk sequel after the reception to the character in The Avengers.

I'd rather Marvel stay away from Strange. Doc could only work in a really fucked up, non-PG setting.
Jessica Drew link to Spiderman was tiny, they only met really once before being on the Avengers together. She being based in LA and what not.

How come they don't implement the new Spider-Man to be a part of this?
EDIT: Oh, okay, it's a issue of rights. Cool.

Sony owns the Spiderman movie license.
Marvel plans to buy every movie franchise from one of their characters back once they become available.
Which X-Men and Spider-Man never will.

Now, Marvel Studios aren't idiots. Which is why I fully expect them to bring back Hayley to play Agent 13 in Captain America 2. Because it would be the smart thing to do.

Fox owned, and IIRC, they want to reboot the movie franchise.
Not sure. I don't think Fox has much stake in the brand anymore. I would imagine MS could get that one back. But they'd have to pay for it.

If only they could say "OK, FOX, you guys can keep the F4 forever if we get to have Doctor Doom". Marvel and FOX already have joint custody over the Skrulls. But Marvel need Doctor Doom. He's too cool to be trapped battling the F4. Hell, dude deserves his own film more than the F4 do.
Why would FOX give up the most important part of F4?
Where does Surfer lie? Sure he was in F4-2, but SS isn't just a F4 character in the comics.

I did say "if only", I'm aware such a thing would never happen.
TBH with the exception of Ironman and The Hulk is anyone really wanting to see separate adventures with these characters after this movie? The teamwork and camaraderie is a great part of why the Avengers as a movie worked. The sooner Marvel get another one out the better.
I would scrap the sequels for Captain America and Thor and just have them all back for an Avengers sequel.

Wait a second. It's Fox who owns them right?
So could they actually have Doom show up in say X Men 4? I mean they did have the deleted scene in F4-1 with Hugh Jackman. What a kick in the nuts it would be to have Doom show up in an X Men movie but never have Doom interact with Loki/Thor/Cap.
Thor is the main reason I care about Avengers and I'm way more excited to see Thor then any other Marvel movie. So no, to me this is an awful idea.

And if that can't be possible, Whedon heading Jessica Jone's adaptation would be NNNNGH.
Not sure where the 2016 number is coming from, Feige himself said that they're thinking 2015 for Avengers 2.
The guy who directed Chronicle is developing a reboot for FOX.
They wouldn't have to pay anything, the rights would automatically lapse back to Marvel if Fox doesn't renew their contract.

Time for spoiler talk! Is there any chance whatsoever that Coulson's death could have been faked, either by himself or by Fury? I really am wishing for a One Shot/post credits scene to be released after CA2 or a SHIELD movie, Coulson's body in a morgue that suddenly sits upright with a closeup his eyes, and they are neon green. Mar-Vell! He could be a sleeper-kree waiting to be activated, or something.
I'm honestly dying for that stupid rumor to come true. :lol I imagine it as the Ultimate Secret issue Mar-Vell.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a successful Marvel super hero TV series that's somehow at the same time tied into the MCU/SHIELD etc.
I think he's said 2015 for a comic-con announcement/reveal or something, with a 2016 release. I might be wrong on that, though.

I've never seen the Wolverine bit before. Man, that would have been weird in the actual film. :lol
And yeah, I guess they could do X-Men/F4 crossover stuff. The obvious path to go down there is do a movie about Franklin Richards.
The scene was really bad, they did a good thing when they cut it.
All I can say is if Doom did show up I would always be pissed. Wasn't there a story line where he was even able to trick Thor's hammer? Doom need to be a Villian for Avengers 2.
