New Marvel movies possibly coming

Marvel Entertainment is Hiring Writers
Source:Variety March 27, 2009

Marvel Entertainment is readying to assemble a group of writers who will pen scripts for various properties Marvel wants to develop, reports Variety.

Marvel will invite up to five writers each year to work on specific projects. Those could include staffers behind Marvel's comic books.

The trade adds that the company will provide the specific pitches it wants the writers to tackle. Those could involve certain plot points for movies already in development or characters it would like to see in its future film slate.

The gathering of screenwriters will help Marvel come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, such as Black Panther, Cable, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Nighthawk and Vision.

So far, it has focused its efforts on more popular superheroes like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America.

A group of Marvel executives will choose the writers, with the final decision made by Kevin Feige, Marvel Studio's president of production.

Terms call for Marvel to own whatever the writers work on during the year. Company has the option to continue a relationship with the writers after that period.

People will seriously go and see a Nighthawk film? I can already hear the cries of "Batman rip-off"... though that would be entirely justified.

On the other hand, I'd love to see a decent Iron Fist film.

Really? Nighthawk?

I could think of 20 other MU characters what would be a much better use of time and money.

I mean, he's Nighthawk. No-one will care.

I'm sure they're just bouncing around ideas. The names they're tossing around are far from confirmed.

I'm glad Marvel is just bouncing off ideas.. As for the Iron Fist movie, that film has been in developmental hell for the past few years, but hopefully sometime soon their will be news about that

A Cloak and Dagger movie would be cool

yes it would

If they could pull it off properly, I would love to see The Runaways on the big screen.

Same could almost be said about Black Panther if they end up doing it, its just Batman in Africa.

Wesley Snipes before his tax problems was set to play T'Challa

Good that the tax problem happen we would've had an actor who played two different marvel characters

not the right idea that marvel wants i don't think.

i just hope who ever directs the next marvel film isnt the same director that did warzone punisher

and Mark Steven Johnson does'nt get attached to another mavel movie.

Black Panther should be the guy who played Spawn

Or Orlando Bloom

I suppose if Robert Downey Jnr manage to play an african american in Tropic Thunder...........why not.

Orlando Bloom is the blax

I know I'm going to be hated for this post, but....

I would like to see any Marvel comic book movie just as long Sam Raimi is NOT involved.

Raimi will always be involved in the Spiderman franchise so long as those movies are blockbusters for Marvel and Sony Pictures..

Michael Jai White is a very good choice to play T'Challa

I would take a Moon Knight movie - or a relaunched Daredevil - over Nighthawk any day. He's just a Batman analogue; is Marvel wasting time developing Hyperion as well?
I think they've given up on the Ant Man idea, at least.
