GotG2 <\/strong>and will play the pivotal role of being Peter Quill’s dad.<\/p>\nBefore we all get happy thinking a Marvel FF film is in the future or that Hugh Jackman will be facing Thanos, let’s look at this critically. We’re not calling Wernick a liar, but some things just don’t add up.<\/p>\n
First, Fox has often changed the powers and backstories of Marvel characters in their movies. Viper and Silver Samurai in The Wolverine <\/strong>are quite different in that film than the way they are in the comics. The film makes Viper an acid-spitting\u00a0mutant and makes the Silver Samurai into an entirely different character. And you can find these sort of changes all through the franchise without any such quid pro quo between Fox and Marvel.<\/p>\nIn addition, if Fox owned Ego, we have to rethink the conventional wisdom of which studio owns what character. Because while Ego appeared in the Fantastic Four <\/em>and Silver Surfer<\/em> books, which Fox owns the film rights to, he made his debut in Thor<\/em> and made many appearances in that title. The rule of thumb was that Fox owns the rights to any mutant character or and character that first appeared in the \u00a0Fantastic Four <\/em>series that Marvel didn’t have a film option out on with another studio at the time of the Fox deal (which is why Marvel now owns the rights to Black Panther and the Inhumans, both which first appeared in Fantastic Four <\/em>but were optioned to other studios for films when Fox optioned the FF). And while Viper first appeared in a Captain America <\/em>comic book, she was a major supporting character in Wolverine<\/em>, we can’t say the same for Ego and either the FF<\/em> or Silver Surfer<\/em>.<\/p>\nAnd if Marvel had Fox over a barrel, and could request any character, why Ego? Why not Adam Warlock or Galactus or one of Galactus’s heralds? All would be a better fit for Peter Quill’s dad than a living planet.<\/p>\n
Regardless, if this is true and the deal really happened, we still shouldn’t expect any further swaps or, if we get more, that\u00a0any really big characters will be involved in the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
DEADPOOL’s writer said that there was a Fox and Marvel swap made over a pair of Marvel characters. Can this be true and what does it mean for the future?<\/div>\n
