Couple that with what Vin Diesel said:

I get the call, I go down to Marvel. A great meeting. It was even talking about something so big I can’t even talk about because it’s like the merging of brands in a way, which I won’t get into. That was something way, way, way, way, way down the road.

We’re working on something for 2016 and so I just said ‘You’re going to hear some really big news’ and I left at the end of that and it went crazy.

Hmmm...

:nerd:


That Vin quote is from 2013. I doubt that is about Spidey just because Sony was still fully confident in ASM2 and was full blown with expanding the Spidey world last year. Even got Garfield playing Spidey til he is 40. The red flag probably didn't raise til ASM2 made a disappointing ~$700m worldwide this year.
 
How are they going to explain Spidey and Iron Man/Avengers being in NY but never crossing paths or even mentioned in previous movies?

Amazing spiderman did come out after avengers ya'know....

As long as Marvel realizes the potential they have with Garfield than they'll be ok with the story telling. Garfield will be great in an ensemble cast. His comic con speech when he was first cast as spiderman was practice for when he tells the world his identity in civil war :wow:

I always considered Vin's comments more about him in the merging of brands.

It makes no sense for Marvel to tell him about Spider-Man crossing over in to the MCU when he's just the voice of Groot and couldn't pin down what they original wanted him for since it was so many years away.

More ppl were thinking Inhumans.

So unless ppl are ready for Vin Diesel to be the new Peter Parker I don't see it :lol:
 
Test footage for the Guardians cartoon to premiere next year. I like the animation (kinda gives me an archer vibe), which is rare for me to say about an animated Marvel show. I never know when their cartoons are on. They need to get their own little channel or whatever.

 
They kinda do, it's the Disney XD channel. I don't know when their shows come on but sometimes late at night I'll see that Ultimate Spidey, Avengers Assemble, and Hulk are on back to back but they're reruns.
 
New episodes of Avengers/Spidey are on DisneyXD Sunday mornings at I think 8 EST. Avengers is pretty good, but still not as good as EMH was. Spidey's been pretty good lately too. They had Agent Venom in there a few episodes ago. And Taskmaster is the bad guy this season. :smokin

With movie rights, Where does Taskmaster fall? I'd love to see him in AoS or one of the movies

I really hope Marvel is able to purchase Spidey outright. Yah I know I dont like the character but I don't like the comic version of IM either. Tho that won't be the case.

Sony deserves to go bankrupt. Was a huge Sony fan once upon a time, I even waited for the Sony equivalent of the iPod before making my MP3 purchase and then they released a joke MP3 player. x:
View media item 1214761
Such trash I couldn't believe it :smh: Did they think that could go toe to toe with the iPod.

They relied far too much on brand name without any products to back it ever since then.

With quotes like "We can sell 5 million PS3s without releasing any games" then they have what's coming to them

Why is rocket the one who needs to upgrade his arsenal 0.0 ?

Anyway it looks dope. Will definitely give it a chance.

I'm pretty excited about this Netflix series. The one I'm most excited for though is the iron fist series. I don't know who should play Danny Rand though
 
Im not familiar with any of them outside of Daredevil honestly. I'm confident Marvel can do no wrong tho and these series will be amazing. Iron Fist is the one in the SpiderMan animated series right? Green with the gold/yellow mask?

Yes. He's part of the heroes for hire and his partner is luke cage/powerman/ the black guy from ultimate spiderman lol.

They're comics over the years haven't been that great but the material is there to make a great show. Danny traveling to K'un L'un. Luke cage and Jessica Jones dating. Lots of ill material and can def see them being part of the respective factions in Civil War
 
Im only lookin fwd to DD and the Defenders. Jessica Jones could be good if based of tg Max series. Until that isconfirmed i ain't holding my breath. Dont know **** about Luke or Danny to give a ****.

Robert Downey Jr. to Join ‘Captain America 3′ (EXCLUSIVE)

Robert Downey Jr. is on the verge of signing on to “Captain America 3,” a move that would bring the Civil War storyline from Marvel’s comicbooks to the bigscreen and trigger the start of a new phase of movies from Marvel Studios.

The actor is in final negotiations to play billionaire Tony Stark in the third installment, which is slated to begin production in the Spring for a May 6, 2016 release. Downey is already set to suit up as Iron Man for next year’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “The Avengers 3.”

The deal is significant for the Marvel cinematic universe considering the plot will pit Stark against Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, as they feud over the Superhero Registration Act, which forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their identities to the U.S. government and agree to act as a police force for the authorities.

Stark supports the program, but Rogers does not, saying it threatens civil liberties, causing sides to be taken and Rogers, among others, to go on the run to avoid arrest. The moral question and battle with his Avengers teammate essentially makes Stark a villain of sorts in “Captain America 3,” providing Downey with a meaty role he could play out into future Marvel films, including a fourth “Avengers.”

But the deal for Downey to return as Iron Man almost didn’t happen.

Originally, Marvel wanted to hire Downey for a small role, which would have required just three weeks of work. But Downey wanted Stark to have a more substantial role in the film’s plot, which would give him more screen time and naturally a bigger payday. This angered Marvel Entertainment chief Ike Perlmutter, who ordered the screenwriters to write Iron Man out of the script entirely, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Even though the deal appeared dead, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Downey’s reps at CAA continued talks in hopes of working out their issues. Feige was bent on executing his grand vision for extending the life of the Marvel characters over many years.

The executive needed his boss to see the big picture, considering the introduction of the Civil War story is seen as a way to drive the plots of sequels and new franchises for the next seven years, given the dramatic possibilities it offers for future films. The fallout from the government and Stark’s actions would factor into a new “Avengers 4″ film and beyond that will assemble new characters being introduced like Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, among others, in their own movies.

Downey, who earned $50 million for “The Avengers” alone, will collect around $40 million plus backend participation for “Captain America 3,” said sources, and will get an additional payout if “Captain America 3″ outperforms “Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s” $714 million worldwide haul. Since the actor did not appear in the first two “Captain America” films, the thinking is that if the third installment surpasses the last movie, its success could be attributed to Downey.

It’s also worth noting that Evans is clearly a bigger star now, evidenced by the fact that “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” grossed nearly twice as much as “The First Avenger’s”” $371 million in 2011.

Marvel still could have worked around Downey if need be. With the studio having already reworked plots from the comicbooks to fit its bigscreen agenda, it’s certainly feasible that Stark could have been turned into a different character to butt heads with Captain America — the Incredible Hulk’s Bruce Banner, for example. Another option could have been dropping the Civil War plot entirely, which would have required major rewrites.

Downey already has been open about wanting to remain in Marvel’s cinematic universe beyond his current contract that expires after the third “Avengers.” In early September, Downey told Variety in Toronto that currently “there is no plan for a fourth ‘Iron Man.'”

Yet Downey also has been wanting to play a larger role in future films as a way to remain creatively involved and close to his fanbase that would undoubtedly come out to see his non-Marvel movies. However, those fans didn’t show up in droves this past weekend to the actor’s latest picture “The Judge,” which debuted with just $13.3 million.

As for the future of Marvel movies, the Disney-owned studio already has 11 releases dated through 2019, including next summer’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Ant-Man.”

Anthony and Joe Russo, who directed “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” will return to helm “Captain America 3.” The brothers are working on the script with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

While Frank Grillo is expected to return as the villain Crossbones, Anthony Russo told Movies.com last month, “I can’t divulge who is going to be in the film, but I think fans are going to freak out when they hear about it,” clearly hinting at Downey being in the next sequel.

While Downey was instrumental in getting Marvel’s film franchises off the ground with the first “Iron Man” in 2008, the studio has since become a brand strong enough to launch titles that have little built-in audience awareness or major stars doing the heavy lifting — as evidenced by this summer’s mega-hit “Guardians of the Galaxy.” That film earned $687 million worldwide, surpassing “Iron Man 2.”

Marvel has long been known as a tough negotiator — and by some accounts cheap — but the studio hasn’t shied away from giving Downey what he’s asked for in the past. He’s reaped between $250 million and $300 million for the “Iron Man” trilogy, his role in “The Avengers” films, and a brief appearance in “The Incredible Hulk,” according to knowledgeable sources.

Now with “Captain America 3,” it doesn’t look like Downey is ready to hang up Iron Man’s suit anytime soon.

Marvel and CAA declined to comment.

Lol. Cant blame downey for wanting to commandeer all the other franchises with how trash IM sequels are. :lol:. Cant wait for Cap 3.

So is Civil war Phase 3 or A3? They cant keep pushing Thanos back. Its annoying enough as is.

Edit: or did they just confirm that 3 and 4 aint coming out back to back?
