Mark Ruffalo Explains Exactly Where His Standalone Hulk Movie Is

@metsuri: they don't need to introduce sentry the same way civil war didn't have a Thor clone or Reed richards or <insert one of 50 characters that had important parts>

they could just have the avengers distract hulk so stark can zap him with his satalite instead of sentry doing it

@shadowwarrior4:

That's complete bull. MARVEL doesn't want to work with THEM, not the other way around. Universal doesn't own the rights to Hulk, they own first right of refusal for the DISTRIBUTION of the film in select territories. Meaning Marvel/Disney would produce it and Marvel/Disney would make a lot of money off of producing it, but Universal would also make money from releasing it and they'd have to share that money. But Marvel/Disney doesn't like it when other studios make money, or, for that matter, anyone that isn't Marvel/Disney.

If your job was cleaning toilets and Marvel hired you to come clean theirs and then one day Marvel decided they wanted to go into the toilet cleaning business, they would do everything they possibly could to prevent you from making money at your job, create a character called "Toiletron: The Ultimate!" and then concoct some PR stunt about how they can't do anything with the character, because you are somehow holding up their rights by having once cleaned their toilets. And then everyone would bitch to you and demand you give up your toilet cleaning rights.

Why? "BECAUSE MARVEL."

Also, Fox doesn't own the Fantastic Four film rights. Fox SHARES the Fantastic Four rights with Constantin Films, the company that has held the Fantastic Four rights going back to the early 90s. If the people running Marvel back then weren't so inclined to sell off their properties to the lowest bidder to capitalize on the success of the Batman films, perhaps they wouldn't be having this issue. But, they'd rather farm their warez our quick and cheap and this is the consequence.

Fox didn't become involved with FF until the early 2000s through a partnership with Constantin Films. And regardless of what you think, Marvel and Fox are in their best working relationship NOW than they were in over a decade. That's why they're co-producing a number of X-Men TV shows together and were able to swap rights for Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy 2. But Fox can't just trade or sell off FF rights, because they don't own the FF rights. They're simply partnered with the company that does.

@shadowwarrior4: As shitty as the FF movies are they are still a huge name people know about. They don't care what the fans want, give us shitty movies to tarnish the name.
