Avengers Movie Not Likely?

Source: He-Man on November 6, 2007

MTV talked to Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, who says that a movie based on The Avengers is not likely to happen:

While agreeing that a Marvel's Team-up movie would be exciting, Quesada was quick to add that the chances of that actually happening were pretty astronomical. And while he wouldn't shed any detailed insight into its feasibility, he did offer up his own dream roster for an Avengers big-budget flick.

The Avengers was still listed on the just-released updated slate for Marvel. Zak Penn was hired in 2006 by Marvel to write a script for the pic.

Marvel Studios Sets Four More Release Dates!

Marvel Entertainment released their first quarter report to its shareholders this morning to coincide with the announcement about the success this past weekend of Marvel Studios' first production Iron Man, which grossed an estimated $100.7 million domestically and over $200 million worldwide. The announcement included an update of Marvel Studios' feature film slate with the already-rumored Iron Man 2 announced for a release on April 30, 2010, followed by three more movies for the summers of '10 and '11. Matthew Vaughn's Thor is set for a release on June 4, 2010, and The First Avenger: Captain America (the working title) will kick off the summer of 2011 on May 6, followed by the highly-anticipated and foreshadowed The Avengers scheduled for July 2011. (Edgar Wright'sAnt-Man is also listed as being in development with no release date set.)

With that in mind, one can start expecting a lot more announcements in the coming months about creative teams and casting for those movies including who might direct the Captain America and Avengers movies. (Whomever plays Steve Rogers AKA Captain America presumably will be making two movies at once.)

2011 is not bad. My only question is when Magneto is slated for release. I had thought '09 but there's been little information on it.

So Marvel's schedule seems like:

2008: Iron Man, Hulk
2009: Wolverine, Magneto?
2010: Iron Man 2, Thor
2011: Captain America, Avengers

I can live with that provided they are all as good as Iron Man. grin

I hope they drop that "The First Avenger" prefix, just call it Captain America!

The biggest question I have about Marvel films is: Will we get a Civil War film? praying

I'd like to hope that, once they get the various characters their own film, and have done an Avengers movie or two, they can partner up with whomever out there still has character rights (Sony for Spidey, Fox for X-Men) and start doing Marvel universe stories, instead f just single-character/single-team films; including Civil War.

From what I have read, Marvel has been very deliberate in giving all the members of the Avengers their own films first before doing an Avengers movie. Apparently the plan is to have the Avengers played by the actors who originated the part, rather than recasting the character. They've also decided that if they can't do this, then the Avengers film won't happen.
