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.”
