Known about this for a while. What I wonder is if they will release Spidey 4 before Avengers and include him in the line-up, or what? I mean, he hasn't traditionally been a full member, but he has been reserve.

Spider-Man won't be in the Avengers movie. Sony owns the film rights to the character, not Marvel Studios. They refused to sign off on his planned cameo in The Incredible Hulk, I have doubts that they'll change their minds any time soon.

Not so good with the English language, either. Skokie schools have apparently gone downhill since I lived there.

You already said that.

It bore repetition. Show some respect for yourself if you can't show some for the rest of us. Ask a friend to show you where the shift key is and maybe read a book on grammar.

Sorry I been typing faster lately, I press shift less and abbrieviate more I appologize. [Hail]

During the coda of the film he beats up his wife.

(Mark Millar actually had this as the coda of his vastly overrated, written-for-shock-value first Ultimates mini-series.)

Will Wolverine be in the Avengers movie?
 
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
 
Fox owns the film rights for the X-Men characters. So, probably not.

There was supposed to be a Spider-man cameo? I didn't know that. I did think it would have been cool if there was at least some reference to Spidey when the Hulk and Abomination were tearing up New York.

It sucks that Spider-man can't be involved in the larger Marvel movie universe. I hate when business gets in the way of stuff like that.

Yeah, when Bruce & Betty went to meet the Lea-...uhm, his internet buddy, there was supposed to be a teasing cameo of Peter Parker climbing up a wall. But, Sony refused.

So, the cinematic Marvel Universe will be restricted to the Avengers and many of the non Spidey/X-team/F4 characters. For now. [Smile]

Yeah neo I expected to at least see spidey swing by.

Maybe just Peter walking down the street with a "I'm not getting involved in this" look on his face.
 
Posted by T:man (Member # 11614) on :
 
Or a scared of huge green monsters look on his face.

They didn't even need to have him appear. I would have just liked an acknowledgment that he exists in the same world. Maybe during Abomination's rampage General Ross could have made a half-sarcastic remark like, "Where's Spider-man when you need him?". Can't they at least mention the character without Sony's permission?

I imagine they can't, no.

I don't see why they couldn't. There must be countless movies in which characters reference other fictional characters from other IPs.
 
Posted by neo-dragon (Member # 7168) on :
 
I really don't know much about how these things work, but I would guess that Sony only owns the right to have Spidey appear in movies. He's still Marvel's character, so I would think that they can at least use his name. After all, they mentioned Superman by name in Spider-man and he definitely doesn't belong to Sony or Marvel.
 
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
 
The mention of Superman fell under referring to him as a fictional character, not one who existed and could be expected to turn up in-film.

Still, a mention is fairly uninteresting. Like the mention of Doctor Strange in Spider-Man 2. Cute and all, but nowhere near as exciting as seeing Tony Stark talk about forming the Avengers.

I think the difference is in that when they mentioned Superman in the Spiderman movies you are supposed to know that the characters in the movie are referring to a fictional character. If they mention Spiderman, they would have to mentioning him in some way that made it perfectly clear that he was just a comic book character, not another person running around the same city. Like "too bad spiderman isn't real, we could use his help" or something. Also while mentioning him may not be purely illegal, it is probably better for Marvel and Sony if Marvel doesn't push it, as they may want to work together in the future.

I'm sort of just making the assumption that the announced Ant Man film is the same as the announced project by Edgar Wright (famed writer/director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz).
 
Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
yeah, what puffy treat said.

also, they mention Doctor Strange in Spiderman 2? I guess I missed it.
 
Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :
 
When J.J.J. is brainstorming possible super-villain handles for Otto Octavius, "Doctor Strange" is mentioned as a possibility.

J.J.J.: "Now that's not bad. Not bad. But, it's taken!"
