Wouldn't holding a Marvel property without risking a failed movie make sense in the aftermath of the Spider-Man deal?
Now there's a precedent of forcing the MCU to make YOU money!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

The contracts Marvel signed in the 80's were logical at the time because the common approach to developing properties took years without star actors or directors instantly attached. It only looks like a heist in retrospect, but even then, without those deals in place the Marvel cartoon explosion of the 90's wouldn't have happened. Marvel on Fox Kids was begat by their business with New World. Without Fox Kids, Fox doesn't put X-Men into film development.Comment

Exactly. Do people really think Universal isn't willing to sell the rights back? Of course they are. The issue is Marvel doesn't want to pay market value. What's Namor's rights worth now? I'd say 75mil. Marvel doesn't want to pay because it will mean the first Sub-Mariner film might only break even. The real problem is post-Aquaman. If that explodes, Universal could ask 25% over AQ's opening. If it implodes, Subby is a floater.
I wasn't looking at it from Universal's business POV... that they'd be pleased to get some money flowin' as opposed to holding Marvel over a barrel.
There's also the logic that with so many valuable Marvel characters at their disposal that Marvel would try their best not to needlessly invest in a 2nd or 3rd their character if they didn't have to."No. No no no no no no.

As usual, your insight is invigorating.

1.Hasn't done anything or been in any way shape or form even mentioned to be made
2.Universal is still being a ***** for not wanting to make a solo Hulk Film (F Universal sorry)
3.Universal could make SOMETHING out of this because by doing spider-man deal with the Hulk but Marvel could use him in other films to get around that distribution that universal holds over them...losers
Like Sony that one day will sell all or most of it's properties and Marvel will get Spider-Man back I want Marvel to get ALL of their properties back because they would been done right and they could cross over like the other MCU films and character's do screw Universal I don't give a rat's *** about them me like many others are the one's that will pay the ticket to see the films and buy the merchandise etc. I don't care about petty feuds between studios...fans want a universe like in the comic's where it's ONE shared universe and anyone can pop in because it is one world...that's how it should beComment
