Prince Namor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Huh? Yes -- _of course_ Warner Bros. owns Green Lantern. But they wouldn't list it among the 10 announced films they have green lit unless they thought it (as opposed to other, cheaper options, a la Suicide Squad) could make money. The point is it will be NINE YEARS after they made the last Green Lantern movie because it didn't live up to expectations. And announcing a movie to be released in 2020 means very little in the world of movies anyway, but the point is: If this FF movie fails to live up to expectations, Fox will choose one of two options: A) Sell to Marvel and unload it. B) Wait another 8 years and try again They will not release a sequel in 2017 if it fails to meet expectations. It's just the way it works. And no -- GL doesn't "have nowhere else to go" -- as proven by the Marvel situation, DC could just as easily license out their own properties to other studios for production or distribution. Green Lantern has NOWHERE else to go. Marvel in the situation they were in when they sold movie rights to those characters is nowhere near where they are today as owned by Disney or DC owned by Warner Brothers. Neither of those companies they're owned by is selling those properties. The only thing that could change that would be a financial crisis on the part of the company of a size that would effect the overall economy of the world. Disney and WB aren't selling their big guns. As many here have argued, Punisher War Zone should be disavowed & not be considered a true Marvel Studios film (which it is) simply because it was distributed by Lionsgate. That logic fails because many early Marvel Studios films were distributed by Paramount (incl. Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, & Captain America), Incredible Hulk was distributed by Universal. What does that have to do with what we're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand MI:RN comes out tonight, and FF next week. With the great buzz for MI:RN we can expect a big rollover for MI:RN the next week as well. So FF will be going against a juggernaut in MI:RN next week! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
