who? Wolverine, and? i don't know, never read em. is it worth having to shoehorn in all those other crappy characters?

Definitely Wolverine, Magneto, Phoenix and Cable/Hope. Somehow they already have Scarlet Witch but she needs the X-Men as part of the story in order to do her most relevant story (House of M/Messiah Complex).

I doubt they'll shoehorn in any unnecessary characters for the main films, but those rights gotta be in place

All I could find basically amounts to "it's complicated" :pachaha:

Does Marvel Studios Have The Rights Back To Namor?

In late 2013, Marvel's Kevin Feige said in a magazine interview that the rights remained at Universal, confusing many journalists and entertainment industry watchers who assumed they had already lapsed and reverted to Marvel.

"There are three or four slots" for upcoming Marvel projects, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told Empire. "We've got six or seven things going. We've got to choose which four will go. It's a Battle Royale!"

Asked whether one of the projects under consideration was Namor, though, his answer was brief: "That's at Universal."

That made it believable when, earlier this year, a rumor started that Universal was considering a Namor movie with Legendary Pictures, their new business partners and previously the publishers of Man of Steel and The Dark Knight. It was only about two weeks later, though, that Marvel had regained the rights already. Around that time, Feige said that the rights situation with the character was "complicated."

IGN asked Feige if it was even possible for Universal or Legendary to make a Namor film, and Feige simply said “No.”

So if not them, then Marvel?

“Yes, but it’s slightly more complicated than that,” he explained. “Let’s put it this way – there are entanglements that make it less easy. There are older contracts that still involve other parties that mean we need to work things out before we move forward on it. As opposed to an Iron Man or any of the Avengers or any of the other Marvel characters where we could just put them in.”

I'm shocked they haven't been more motivated to straighten it out. I'm sure if Aquaman does numbers they'll suddenly be more inclined to do so...:stopitslime:

I guess with him being recently killed off in comics there's even less incentive.
that shyt aint happening

The truth is Marvel doesn't give a shyt about Namor enough to really push for his rights. They have Daredevil, Black Panther, Blade, Ghost Rider, Punisher, and I'm sure Fantastic Four is coming back eventually. Doctor Doom sonning everyone, Galactus, Silver Surfer, The Skrulls, Annihlus, the gawd Kang the Conquer would be brought as well. We still need to see how Thanos, Surtur, and the remaining villains that are alive(:mjlol:) Man if Marvel killed off Osborn, confirmed Red Skull is dead:mjlol: Dudes had the audacity to kill Ronan:russ: gotdamn :dead: Where my boy Abomination at:patrice:Abominations abilities with 2016 upgraded tech:whoo:Hulk vs Abomination rematch:whew:
