Fox has the rights to everything in the XMen universe and to an extension, that includes the XForce I guess.

So they do have free access to any incarnation of X-Force. Interesting.

Not any incarnation. If a X-Force team popped up with Punisher, Deathlok, and a few others (which has already happened recently) FOX couldn't use them. Depends on the characters.

I think Cable has to be leading or at least on this team. I'm not really sure about Wolverine cuz I don't think Jackman is coming back. They'd have to a great replacement already in mind. If he does come back he's gonna wanna know 100% that the movie is good, he was pissed about the last few films.

I think you're thinking about Thunderbolts fam, not X-Force. I think most if not all members/former members of the team are mutants. Punisher was never one of them.

I do agree that Cable should be included. He's the first character that comes to mind when I hear X-Force.

Read the last volume. Deathlok was heavily featured in Uncanny X-Force and Punisher was apart of the future X-Force team, along with Hope and if I remember right Cable that took over the world and was ruled by Psylocke and Wolverine

Also, Fantomex and Deadpool aren't mutants and were apart of the team, they're also considered X-office characters. Hence FOX, having the rights to make a Deadpool solo movie.

Regardless of that, my point is FOX can't use any character that joins X-Force. They'd mainly have to stick to characters that are heavily used and debuted in X-Men comics.

And yeah it's not really X-Force w/o Cable.

Haven't followed the X books since the mid 90's. My bad for assuming all characters int the X books are mutants :lol:

You must be referring to the Remender team. The black ops one, I think.

Just give me Cable and Domino. FOX can add whoever they please

I think they could, they just have to circumvent around it the same way Whedon will use Quiksilver and Scarlet Witch by simply not mentioning their relationship with Magneto. I think if the character isn't considered a main figure or tentpole for their own film but has some relations with their franchise, then the company could use them. At least that is how I see it with Quiksilver appearing on both DotFP and A2 films.
 
Wow, big misstep for Eminem.

Matt Damon's 'Elysium' Role Was First Offered to Eminem


Blomkamp discussed the project with the Detroit-born rapper, and according to the director, the artist sometimes known as Slim Shady was interested, but he had one major condition: He wanted the movie to be shot in Detroit. Blomkamp and TriStar Pictures were unable to bring the shoot to Michigan, and Eminem bowed out, with Matt Damon finally taking over the role.

Eminem can't really act anyway. Props to trying to get money in Detroit though.

Again no they couldn't. That Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch is different. Thats a special situation given when they were created and when they joined. Word to my aforementioned examples. They can't use the Punisher for instance. There's no work around for that you can't NOT call him Frank Castle or the Punisher and they wouldn't be allowed to have the skull on his shirt so what do you have when you take that away? A white guy with guns that wants to kill bad guys.

That's why I'm saying any character that's been on the team can't just be thrown on the movie team. Marvel studio have the movie rights to some of these characters outright. There's nothing blurry about it.

If that's not the case, FOX could reboot the Fantastic 4 with a team of Hulk, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. To lesser extent if Jarvis the Butler started working for the X-Men he wouldn't suddenly start showing up either.

Out of all the actors in Hollywood, why would a director want to hire eminem to star in his sci-fi movie? Him being the first choice and having to settle with Damon is kinda funny.

The names you mentioned are big names though with their own franchise films. XForce members like Cable, Domino, Colossus, Deadpool, etc... Are all pretty unknown and pretty much in the realm of the Xuniverse and that is what I was saying. I agree that they can't just use anyone that just joined the team for one issue but those obscure characters, they certainly can and most XForce members are just that. The characters still has to have a relevant importance or role at some point and are known to be in that team to be used but I do think they can use some of those characters.

I'm no expert on the XForce team but on this list, who can Fox not use because they are popular from another team? Outside of Punisher of course, which has his own franchise reverted back to Marvel. Most of these guys are obscure enough.

Rumor: Warner Bros. Mulling a Batman Beyond Live-Action Movie
Could the studio be looking at a feature based on the TV toon?
by Jim Vejvoda JULY 17, 2013

Warner Bros., which had previously had a live-action Batman Beyond movie in development before going with Christopher Nolan's Batman reboot, is now said to be kicking around resurrecting their feature film adaptation of the animated TV series.

(In case you somehow forgot, the animated series saw an aging Bruce Wayne train his successor, 17-year-old high-school student Terry McGinnis, to protect Gotham City in the 21st century.)

Batman-on-Film claims that such a movie is back "on the table" and that it would have nothing to do with the Nolan Batman universe, which is now done for good.



What would a Batman Beyond film mean for what if any plans Warner Bros. might have for a larger DC universe on the big screen? As BoF suggests, the "'in his prime' Bruce Wayne Batman could potentially be in a team-up film, while the aged and retired Bruce Wayne Batman would be the version of the same character in the Beyond solo films. Think 'non-linear' -- same Batman, different time periods."

What do you think of a Batman Beyond live-action movie? Sound off in the Comments below!

You should maybe reread what I said cuz saying they can use former X-Force members from the X-Men world that were created in X-Men books and were used for a considerable amount of time isn't what I'm talking about. What I'm saying isn't that hard to understand given the examples I provided.

FOX can't use ANY Marvel character that Marvel comics add to the team. They dont have the rights to just pick up characters not originally rooted or heavily used in the X-world. Thats why it isn't similar to the Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch situation. I proceeded to give examples of what I'm talking about. The list you just posted are all X-line characters except for Deathlok and Doctor Nemesis.

Obscure or not it wouldn't really matter. If Daisy Johnson joins X-Force tomorrow it doesn't mean FOX could squeeze him in the movie.

Well maybe you should read what I wrote too.

So obviously that doesn't include anyone that they just put on the team today or in the near future. I also listed the teams, current and past and all of those outside of Punisher can be used by Fox. That was my point.


At the end of the day, we really do not know what is on the fine print and loopholes in these contracts so it's all a guess. They can always agree ona split production cost and profit and combine a hero or two as well, it's all an speculation.
 
Speaking of contracts, found this interesting.

Could Fox Lose DEADPOOL Movie Rights To Marvel in a Few Years?

Everyone should have already heard that 20th Century Fox is moving forward to (hopefully and successfully) expand their X-Men Marvel movie universe franchise. An X-Force and Magneto films are reportedly in development and a Deadpool movie has already shot test footage and has an R-rated script ready for a green light.

When the X-Force development news broke, it was hinted that both Cable and Deadpool could be on the new X-team. All these details are still sketchy and further information and clarity should be presented about all of this at Fox's SDCC panel later this week.

However, the website HitFix had a "round table" discussion about the potential of Deadpool being a part of the X-Force team and HitHix movie beat writer Gregory Ellwood said something that has really never been heard before until he said it.

"Word is the studio could lose the rights to the popular Marvel character in a few years if they don't use him [Deadpool]."

You know the moment you read something and you just stop reading and re-read a sentence over and over again? This was one of those moments since this is the first time this CBM reporter has ever heard of Fox possibly losing the movie rights of Deadpool. Of cource the rights would revert back to Disney and Marvel Studios since this is how all of Marvel's old movie rights deals were set up with other studios.

Nothing further was said by Ellwood or the other HitFix movie team regarding Deadpool's movie rights so you can bet questions about Deadpool's movie rights might be a hot topic of discussion to those at Fox and others at this week's Comic-Con.
Click to expand...


I always thought Deadpool was acquired along with the XMen universe franchise and can stay with Fox as long as they churn out XMen films? But does this mean that some characters have their own separate contract within and separate from the franchise? How come he didn't revert back to Marvel when he wasn't used from 2000 when the first XMen film came out? Origins came out in 2009 so that is 9 years that he could have returned to Marvel and at that point Deapool was enough of a fan favorite that interest should be huge on Marvels part.

I did read it though and it's like you're not responding to anything I've posted about this word to you copy and pasting that list of current and former X-Force members.

Again from the very start when I replied I made a distinction in to what I was specifically talking about and what you've been posting has nothing to do with it but I'm not gonna repeat myself again, that seems to be a tiring thing I get in to with you. You didn't make any point to me if you read what I've posted and payed attention to what I was specifically talking about.

There isn't a possible Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch situation with X-Force and most of the X-line. There's a difference between spinning something for the MU and basically stripping characters of their identity for the X-world.

So like I originally said FOX couldn't trot out any incarnation of X-Force for a movie.

Of course Deadpool would have individual rights. He's Deadpool. He's profitable not obscure. He was acquired with the rest of the X-Men world but if they don't use him they can lose him since he isn't a mutant, most importantly isn't a X-Man, and his main attachment to it is Weapon X and Marvel could just switch that to connections to Weapons Plus and the super soldier program.

He probably didn't revert back cuz they didn't use him yet. Probably something in the contracts that they actually have to get a chance to use the character first before giving him back up or it could have something to do with when Deadpool was officially acquired and how long he was apart of FOX's plans. I think all it takes is for things to be in production for the rights to be extended.

I don't know how you can say that I am responding to anything you've posted when I agreed to some of them like Fox not being able to use Punisher.

But as I said, we don't know what how these contracts are drawn up, we are just speculating. I still responded to your post that I quoted directly, which was about those former members (and those I listed, just got the list, don't know whose new or not) and agreed on some of your points that I found valid, like someone has to be rooted or known to be from that group. Also agreed that Fox can't just put any any XForce characters they want but the ones I listed, almost all of those probably could. I focused on what I quoted because the one I excluded, I agreed with.

But going back to contracts, again we have no idea what is written and signed and enforced. I am surprised about Deadpool going back to Marvel, something new from all these character rights discussions.

Makes sense.
 
What it comes down to is you talking about former or original members or obscure characters and me specifically talking about FOX not being able to use ANY incarnation of X-Force. I never disputed they couldn't use the likes of Domino or Cannonball. I actually made the distinction in to what I was talking about so all of those characters, most on your list didn't need to be brought up.

Also there really isn't a Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch situation FOX could benefit from. If anything Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were it, maybe Firestar. Marvel Studios spinning something to fit Wanda and Pietro in to their story isn't the same if FOX tried to use Peter Gyrich or say the High Evolutionary in to one of their movies.

Looking at wiki:

Leading up to X-Men's release, Marvel Studios negotiated a deal with then-functional Artisan Entertainment, successful with the low-budget The Blair Witch Project, to give the studio rights to 15 Marvel characters including Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Iron Fist, and Deadpool.

This is interesting too, Cap, Thor, BP and IF all returned to Marvel w/o a film. They did just buy it off?

I swear, I'm not really disagreeing just to disagree but I think Fox can benefit from them greatly, Singer just isn't using them correctly. With a planned Magneto stand-alone film, those two could easily play a big part in that film.

For DoFP, seems like Singer just want to stick it to Marvel since he admitted to only using Pietro for a single action scene. :lol: Both those characters seems to have a bigger part in the Avengers film.

Just to add into this since I am reading on as I go along. Most of these I forgot or just had no idea on.

In 2004, David Maisel was hired as chief operating officer of Marvel Studio as he had a plan for the Studios to self-finance movies. Marvel entered into a non-recourse financing structure with Merrill Lynch Commercial Finance Corp. that is collateralized by certain movie rights to a total of 10 characters from Marvel's vast vault. Marvel gets $525 million to make a maximum of 10 movies based on the company's properties over eight years, according to the parameters of the original deal with Paramount Pictures in September 2004. Those characters were: Ant-Man, The Avengers, Black Panther, Captain America, Cloak & Dagger, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Power Pack, Shang-Chi. Ambac insurance company insured the movies would succeed or they would pay the interest payment on the debt and get the movie rights collateral. In October 2005, Michael Helfant joined the Studio as President and Chief Operating Officer. In November 2005, Marvel gained the film rights to Iron Man from New Line Cinema. Marvel revealed that it has regained the film rights to The Incredible Hulk in 2006. In April 2006 Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to Thor from Sony. That year the film was announced to be a Marvel Studios production. Lions Gate Entertainment subsequently dropped the Black Widow motion picture project it had since 2004 giving the rights back to Marvel. Masiel and Arad fought over the rate of movie releases and strength of characters in the movie line up. Perlmutter supported Masiel thus in May 2006 Arad quit as Studio chair and CEO.[30] In March 2007, David Maisel was named Chairman and Kevin Feige was named President of Production as Iron Man began filming.

In 2008, Marvel Studios signed a lease with Raleigh Studios to host its headquarters and production offices and film the next four movies on the studios’ slate, including Iron Man 2 and Thor, at their Manhattan Beach facilities. In January 2008, Marvel Animation was incorporated to direct Marvel's efforts in animation and home entertainment markets including then animation efforts with Lionsgate and Nickelodeon. Marvel Entertainment named Eric Rollman as President of the company in April 2008. By September 2008, Paramount added to its domestic film distribution contract 5 additional Marvel movies' foreign distribution.

In 2009, Marvel attempted to hire a team of writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, such as Black Panther, Cable, Iron Fist, Nighthawk, and Vision. In early 2009, Sony returned all Spider-Man television rights in exchange for an adjustment to the movie rights.

On December 31, 2009, The Walt Disney Company purchased Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. Both Marvel and Disney have stated that the merger would not affect any preexisting deals with other film studios for the time being, although Disney said they will consider distributing future Marvel projects with their own studios once the current deals expire.

This part is big though, apparently Marvel owns the rights to Cable? So I guess he won't be in any XForce films?

If they got Cable's rights then the rights to X-line must be way more technical. Only reasoning I can think of is Cable's history largely being tied to the future and killing Apocalypse, it's the only the past decade where they got past him being a character of destiny and gave hm a different status quo which still dealt with time travel.

Still a stretch so that's surprising but I did know about the studio telling it's writers to cook up scripts just to see what they come up with and for future phases, even some of the comic writers are doing it and have spoken on it. I wouldn't get them doing it for characters they don't have the rights to though so maybe they do own some variation of Cable which is very strange.

As for Quicksilver and Scarlet Wtich, I get the feeling the studio will make them Inhumans and play up that untapped huge potential property. There's already some connection and this December marvel comics are starting a wave of Inhuman books and an over-arcing story for the whole MU.
