What happened to Mysterio? I want Mysterio to be in a movie.

[Tuffy]

whelp. That book is about to quadruple in price. Who is going to be picking this up?

i'll sell you one at twice the current going rate.

[mar-vell]

i hope it loses money and sony decides not to pay the licensing fees to retain the property.

Sigh..yeah..this would probably be good too. But I doubt it happens.

 

I was also exaggerating my estimate obviously to the poster above.

(thumbs u given that #9 hasn't budged since electro was announced, don't see why this would move either

I am surprised by this to tell the truth. At the time of the Marvel-Sony deal for Spider-man, Rhino was more of a Hulk villain in the same way that Kingpin was more of a Daredevil villain and went to Fox. I would have thought that Marvel retained Rhino in their folder.

ASM #41 is expensive enough already in HG - another rise and that goes off my 'want list'!

Marvel may have been smart enough to know that a big grey guy with a horn on his head probably wouldn't make a very good movie villian.

What's next, the Terrible Tinkerer?

[Magneto]

Surprised by this, but could still be good.

 

Mysterio would be better as the lead and not the secondary villain.

 

I'm still waiting for Kraven the Hunter!

Nope, Prowler.

Getting that costume right will be a challenge.

[bane]

Get Vinnie Jones in the role.

 

Look how good Juggernaut was.

[Point Five]

Getting that costume right will be a challenge.

My first thought too. Could look awful...

I wonder if Disney/Marvel do own the rights to some of these villians that have yet to appear in Spider-Man, FF, etc. And, also wondering if they are using them as some sort of bargaining chip with Sony, Fox, etc. to use in their upcoming movies. I'd love for all of the Marvel characters in the movies to be back under the control of Disney/Marvel. Get some consistency and continuity across the movies.

[The Madness]

I don't think Rhino will get a huge part. I see Spidey fighting Rhino in a cameo scene at like the beginning of the movie.

[montrealfilmguy]

I'm like a parrot with this but again,i'm hoping for Hammerhead.

 

The way i see it is its a character that isnt too far fetched to actually exist in our world so it may less throw you off like a Disco dome Mysterio or sumtin else.

$5 says he's entirely CG a la Hulk in Avengers. I also suspect it wont be a costume, but a "transformation" like Hulk too.

 

That could actually be pretty dang cool, imho, if he's superhumanly large. It would almost HAVE to be the same treatment they gave Mark Ruffalo on the Hulk since Paul Giamatti is a VERY short and slight of stature guy.
