Marvel Studios gets ONE back

[mattperiolat]

Pretty simple and completely theoretical - Marvel Studios is able to get one of the three rogue franchises back. But only one. The other two stay out. So, pick the one they get back and why it benefits the existing MCU.

I feel like Marvel has more than enough properties in ther arsenal at this point. I'm not particularly interested in another rebooted Xmen,spiderman,FF series from them. After the success of GotG I hope they dig a little deeper in their catalog for thier next film.

[stinger]

X-Men, definitely. So many potential stories to be told, especially with Wolverine.

[StuntGranny®]

For me, this was a tough choice between Spider-Man and the X-Men. I ultimately went with Spider-Man. I think his interactions with the Avengers would be great to see and only benefit the Marvel movie universe.

Trying to incorporate all of the X Men characters and lore into the MCU as it stands would be a huge headache and clusterf***. Spidey would be the best call, if you could have the first two Amazing Spiderman films with Andrew Garfield retconned into canon of the MCU (Which wouldn't be a huge stretch really)

Then you have Spidey ready made to slot into any MCU franchise without the need to do an origin movie. He can team up with anyone and has the legs (lolpun)to do another stand alone feature.

Fantastic Four for me. It was Marvel's flagship title for a long time and there are plenty of iconic moments, characters, and locales for them to do. Plus, it's time to for another version of Dr. Doom.

[A Platypus Rave]

Honestly, I don't want Spider-man or the X-men to end up in the Avengers movies.

The x-men especially have never really made a ton of sense in a shared universe... and you know Marvel would probably try to force Wolverine into the Avengers as the main focus.

Spider-man works better in a shared universe but I tend to like Spider-man's solo stories better than him teaming up.

Fantastic Four... it would be nice to get the two smartest men in the Marvel Universe onto the screen properly... and Doom could always work as a looming threat for the Avengers... not to mention the skrulls, Silver Surfer and Galactus.

To answer the question... I don't know -_-

Though they have the best chance to get Fantastic Four back... unless Sony sells Spider-man to make some much needed cash.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Spider-man.

I don't even really want him interacting with the Avengers necessarily; and honestly I've liked Sony's movies to varying degrees (even 3 or ASM2 I've enjoyed on some level).

But Marvel should have its flagship character available to use. Plus, it'll be a total shame if Andrew Garfield never gets a GREAT Spidey flick to perform in. (though I've liked both Amazings, clearly there's room for improvement.)

[Mr. Emoticon Man, TF Fan]

Fantastic Four, solely because I don't want Spider-Man or Wolverine anywhere near the Avengers movies.

Dig deep, you say? I say that we sell the idea that the success of Pacific Rim means that the world is ready for a reboot of Shogun Warriors!!

Who's with me??!!





Anyone?

Spidey, though Fantastic Four makes a lot of sense too with how godawful those movies have been. But while the Spidey movies haven't been terrible, he's still Marvel's most iconic character at this point. And him being on the Avengers would just be right.

X-Men doesn't need to be a part of the MCU. It's strong on its own and the movies outside of X3 and Origins have been really good. First Class and Days of Future Past did a great job of getting that franchise back on track. The only character that would benefit from being in the MCU is Wolverine because of his past with the Avengers.

[Michael Coello]

Personally, X-Men is doing well on it's own, and same with Spidey.

I do think something like the FF, though, is in the most need of the MCU connection.

EDIT: Plus, MARVEL gets back Spider-Man, they get Spidey and his rogues.

MARVEL gets back X-Men, they get the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

MARVEL gets FF back, they get the FF and DOCTOR F'N DOOM!

[bluemeii]

Fantastic Four for me. X-Men is doing just fine in other's hands, and I'd rather see FF get the Marvel Studios treatment.

Besides it's going to be really hard (if they are planning on it) to do the Infinity Gauntlet without them.

[Limity (BLM)]

I'd say FF. As has been pointed out before, Xmen is doing very well on its own. The good outweighs the bad, and I'd like to see what Fox does with it, free from the growing increasingly complicated and intertwined MCU.

I can't stand Spiderman, so I couldn't care less. Unless of course marvel gets it back just to re-enact the scene between Hulk and Loki, with Spidey taking Loki's place.

While I'm not particularly interested in the FF, I'd still like to see Marvel handle them, and see how they could be integrated. Maybe they're working with SHIELD? It would be fun just to see Banner, Reed, and Stark interact.

Also, the OP brings up an awesome term, 'rogue franchise'. That just sounds badass. Like these three franchises are rebelling against the man, the MCU.

Me too, because GOTG showed what Marvel can do with a cosmic franchise, unlike the In Name Only slop we're about to get. Plus a MCU with Doom, Skrulls, and Galactus can only be a good thing.

EMH showed how Spidey and Wolvie could interact with the Avengers and not be part of the team. If they handled them like that, things would be fine, as opposed to Bendis' plan to make the team into the Justice League of Marvel.

Fantastic 4.

FOX is doing great with X-Men and I don't really care about Spider-Man anymore.

On your second point, not really; FF didn't really play a pivotal role in Gauntlet.

Well Surfer sure did. Besides it just doesn't seem right that with Marvel doing so well with the movies that the FF isn't part of it.

Characters connected to the F4 played some role, like Silver Surfer, Galactus, and Dr. Doom. But not the F4 themselves.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Touche on Surfer. But that's pretty easily worked around. You don't NEED him there.
