Fox owns the right to "mutants," but not all the specific characters themselves, so Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are getting in through a loophole by not mentioning that they're mutants, and not mentioning Magneto as their father. SW and QS are pretty much confirmed last I heard for the next Avengers movie, along with Falcon, so there you go.

If you're interested in Rule 63'd characters, there's plenty of them in the books. Spider-Man has Spider-Woman and a ton of Spider-Girls, Wolverine has X-23, Iron Man has Rescue (though she's out for the time being), Stiltman has Lady Stiltman ("It's a homage!"), so on and so forth. Most of them are similar enough to be recognizable but unique enough to differentiate and stand on their own. Sometimes.

It's not really cinematic trend; That's basically Marvel's take on the subject. Dr. Doom is constantly merging science and magic, since it's his whole shtick, Black Panther does science and spirituality, and Hank Pym literally created a science that duplicates the effects of magic, simply because he could. We're talking pocket spaces, teleportation doors, shrinking, growing, fireballs, etc etc. He even invented a Heaven. DC, from my limited understanding, takes the more traditional route that science and magic are two independent things with little to no crossover.

As far as movie rights, I imagine it'll be a loophole war. Fox will use the characters but not the code names, while Marvel studio will use the code names but not the real names. Speculation and rumors aside, of course. One movie might change their minds before filming, afterall since neither studio has really even cast anyone for the roles.

That would be awesome!

I can't come up with many intruiging female non-mutant Avengers either. Tigra or Spider-Woman are not particularly interesting. Or She-Hulk... A good character would be Ms. Marvel (despite the stupid name) but she is closely connected to Rogue from the X-Men, so there's that. :/

Brainiac is DC, you're thinking of "The Leader". Or maybe M.O.D.O.K.

Yeah, I was thinking of The Leader.

And I would LOVE for Disney to get the rights to Spider-Man. I really would. SpoilerBut the sheer amount of cash they stand to gain by doing it regardless is pretty huge.

That said, I'm happy with the reboot series so far. We'll see if they can keep that going, but Garfield is doing a great job, imo.

He probably has a better chance of them casting a guy than casting anyone black, sadly enough.

lol, if you're going to do gay sex, you might as well make it alien gay sex. Hence the popularity of Torchwood.

Side note: Is Doc Ock Spoilerstill Peter Parker?

So a little update on The Avengers 2. Looks like it'll be titled Age of Ultron, and lead into the Ant-Man movie.

They're doing the next Avengers before the Ant-Man movie?

I can only imagine the ridiculous success of the first one pushed up the timeline for the sequel, and that Ant-Man was planned to be involved in A2. I mean, not like the Henry and Janet weren't founding members or anything.

Better to throw Joss directly onto Avengers 2 and constantly hype it, now that people are paying attention to the whole movieverse, instead of just the individual movies.

The downside to SDCC's announcements is that Sony already has 2 more Spidey movies planned, so he almost certainly won't be involved in the Avengers series at all.

Fantastic Four is still an option, since the reboot hasn't had any movement and that could void Fox's IP claim. But, frankly, I hate Reed Richards so much that I'm happier with them staying gone.

This trailer looks so awesome! DO WANT NAOW

Some leaked footage for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Watch it while you can. Filmed from a phone, only partial, but better than nothing if this is your franchise.

Sorry about that. If it makes you feel better you really didn't miss much.

Anyway, here's a little something to go through instead, which will most likely not vanish instantly.

Well at least that explains how he avoided getting killed Ra by so easily. Adamantium.
