Fantastic Four Reboot

They talked about it briefly and then dropped it and said it would never work. The franchises being on seperate contracts prevents them from crossovers, as they would have to choose which set of contractual obligations to follow, which would mean violation of the one they don't use. Owning the rights doesn't mean crossovers are allowed, Fox can't make Fantastic Four meets Predator even though they have the film rights to both universes.

Mark Millar was brought in as a comic book movie advisor, not for crossovers.

You got a link where they've said there's no way they can cross them over. Because the only thing even close to that I recall is Simon Kinberg saying they're in different Universes in that the FF won't be so Fantastic if there are mutants everywhere, and that no mention of the Fantastic Four was ever made in X-Men.

But he never said there's no way a crossover isn't happening. Even hinted that they're working on a way for it to work but are first focused on making the FF reboot work.

The universes being incompatible is a cop out to avoid admitting they didn't realize they couldn't cross them over. Again, the fact that there are two seperate contracts done at different means they cant mix the two, which set of rules would apply?

They probably wanted to and then Disney lawyers put a stop to it.

Not heard anything about 2 separate contracts meaning there's no room for crossovers. Hope your right though, so they just give up on FF.

Think about it this way. If you sell me a temporary license to use your character, Cool Guy Man, in a movie, that contract is going to have stipulations and obligations that I need to be in line with or I'm breaching the contract and I forfeit the rights. Suppose a year later you sell me another temporary license for your "Awesome Dude" franchise, again the contract os going to have rules I have to follow.

The problem is this, if I make a Cool Guy Man vs Awesome Dude movie, I would have to choose which contracts rules to follow, which would mean I'm violating the rules of the contract I don't follow, which means I lose those rights. You, as the owner of CGM and AD would have to give me a new contract telling me limits and obligations on this new combined franchise, and Disney sure as hell doesn't want Fox trying to take a slice of Avengers style combined universe pie.

Owning the film rights to a franchise gives you just that, the rights to make a film based on that franchise. Owning the film rights to a property that another company owns the IP for doesn't grant you free reign with it, for example even though they own the rights to both they can't have Xenomorphs in the next X-men film.

Even more horrible news, Doom is just an Internet tough guy name for Victor Domashev, the Dr Doom replacement in this travesty.

Are they trying to make the worst movie possible? If so, they are easily on the right track.

Ok, that sounds pretty bad... on paper, but I don't think I'm going to stick up for this movie anymore. The whole anti-social, programmer isn't my cup of tea, anyway. I'll still see it, but I'm not expecting anything big from this.

Awful.

The only way it could be worst if they had casted Jesse eisenberg as Doom. 🙂

And Toby Kebbell could've been a pretty f ucking great Dr Doom. Too Bad...

I don't want Josh Trank anywhere near Star Wars. F uck his talent, there's lots of other talent in Hollywood.

YES! BEST NEWS OF THE DAY! BEST NEWS I'VE HEAR BOUT THIS MOVIE! LONG LIVE TERRIBLE DOOM! LONG LIVE TERRIBLE FF REBOOT!...I MEAN DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

This thing sounds like it's going to bomb and hard. And I'm hope it does. By 2020, Phase 4 could feature a new FF by Marvel Studios.

Doesn't sound too bad to me. Being a programmer is good. He'll need to be a damn good programmer to program all those Doombots.

As for the name Doom starting out the way it does... Meh that's minor. They probably think Doom isn't a normal Surname or some shit like that.

I must have missed that it was confirmed he's gna be shit at this.

Unless the trailer looks good(and I mean really good) and the movie gets good reviews, this just may up being the first movie based off a Marvel property(or at least supposed to be) I actually may end up intentionally skipping out on in theaters.

Yeah, not paying one cent to see this on principle. If the source material is so embarrassing for them they can screw off.

You can't justify these shitty changes. Doom is just fine the way he is in the comics. Hell can we just see him portrayed CORRECTLY before they try their new age bullshit?

Doom will suck... This whole film will suck

Actually, the worst part is that the movie will probably be really good, it just won't be a fantastic four movie. It'll be a spit in the face to FF fans.

It's not like Marvel does everything perfectly in line with the comics with it's villains. COUGH Mandarin COUGH

The way Doom is portrayed will be much more important in the end than minor things like how he got his name.

The way he's being portrayed is literally a butthurt dweller...
