I reckon just make the namor movie anyway and we’ll all just agree not to tell universal about it
You are correct!! They prob have been asking for a boatload of money!! Marvel sad no!!So 15 years since The Incredible Hulk.
Universal Pictures should have just worked with Marvel Studios for
Marvel Studios' Hulk 2
Marvel Studios' Hulk 3
Marvel Studios' Namor
Marvel Studios' Namor 2
Marvel Studios' Namor 3
They probably would get some healthy money from it.
tho, I didn't mind the changes to the character
an can appreciate the use of cultural lore, to establish a new backstory
I almost wish they didn't go the fails God route...
in a world where we have met literal Gods (where recently, Thor:Love&Thunder, even went out of it way to confirm that the Gods of ever cultural actually exist)
seems like a step backwards
but, maybe that can even be a plot point in a future appearance of the character, the Real K’uk’ulkan shows up challenging Namor and his people or something like that
That is possible bane but I really think if universal asked for a reasonable amount Disney would’ve snapped it up especially if it also includes def Namor!! Plus I know head of comcast/universal still is pissed that Disney didn’t accept his offer when they wanted to buy disney!! I could be off thoughI've always suspected the issue was not that Universal refused to play ball, but simply that Marvel didn't have enough faith in the Hulk as a solo character after two cinematic flops to be interested in paying Universal a cut of a potentially already small box office. Not to mention how weird it would've been for them to go to a second Hulk movie after literally replacing the Hulk himself (though that part at least is no longer an issue by now as there's been over a decade in between at this point).
Or make it Doctor Strange 3...A Defenders movie featuring Hulk, Dr. Strange, Namor, Silver Surfer and Valkyrie would just look like another Avengers movie with a different name and roster.
Another reason why I don't see it happening. That line up could be just for Avengers 7, and it would make more money for the title alone.
I prefer a Ds3 with mostly Dr. Strange characters rather another Avengers Civil War.Or make it Doctor Strange 3...
Well Strange does recruit Hulk and Namor to battle a Lovecraftian demon. Throw in Valkyrie and tease Silver Surfer and you got a movie.I prefer a Ds3 with mostly Dr. Strange characters rather another Avengers Civil War.
Is the Incredible Hulk even on Disney+?
I think after The Avengers, Hulk 2 would have been easily the highest grossing Hulk film especially if it was released in 2012. Then Hulk 3, would have even earned more.
I'm not sure if Disney's role or Universal, to do the marketing when Universal got the distribution rights.
Ultimately, we missed out on at least 2 Hulk movies because they couldn't cooperate. I highly doubt Disney and Marvel Studios would pass on at least 1 Hulk movie (if they had all the rights) given he's a major player in the MCU even moreso than Black Widow, Guardians of the GalaXy and Ant-Man.
It's not on D+ over here. Don't know about America.
And Marvel did do 'at least 1 Hulk movie'. I still stand by the opinion that it was the performance of that movie (and Ang Lee's) that left them largely unmotivated to do the work necessary to keep up deals and relationships with Universal. They were simply better off putting that effort into characters they actually owned and also who they were just better at selling to audiences.
I wonder if the universal deal includes streaming though? Like, could they do something on Disney+? I wish I could know
Oh nice. If true that’s not long at all.Universal only has distribution rights for hulk and Namor!! No tv rights!! Since then niversal still has some time left on distribution rights they still say where it can be streamed!! If it’s true that on June 7th 2023 the rights revert back to Disney then Hulk movie will “go back” to Disney and I expect it to be on Disney+ shortly after
Wonder why Universal don't let the characters get used and ask for a riskless fixed fee or a portion of box office profit. There must be some level at which both would be happy. The alternative for Universal is to make nothing from any film rights.
True, makes sense.I mean, for all we know they have. And Marvel has replied with "We could do that, or we could just make one of the dozens of other possible movies in which we pay you nothing at all. So we are going to do that instead."
