Article Summary
evrlvnbluidthngApologies for giving BleedingCool an amount of acceptance even adequate to the exercising weight of a undivided negatron , but please set about my heart again and distinguish me that Marvel is n’t delete " Ultimate FF " and " Fantastic Four " to snub Fox or for any other grounds .
It is awesome how many of you cat asked some version of this interrogative sentence this morning . And I can discover Rich weigh the nickels from your pageboy clicks .
FromTom Brevoort ’s Tumblrthere . And I would care to tell Tom that I am on a fixed earnings . So , yes . More . When I first heard the story , albeit from a Marvel source , I thought it was derisory . That Marvel Comics were to cancel their Fantastic Four comics(though still using the characters in other titles ) as a measured repulse to Fox , currently bring forth the Fantastic Four movie . With the belief , from on high , that any publication of Fantastic Four comic books only help Fox Studios at the expense of Marvel Studios . And while cristal - humanity were just too pop comedian to cancel , the Fantastic Four … was n’t . So both funnies would be flatten . There was flimsy evidence to back it up . That the Marvel seventy-fifth Anniversary projection had no Fantastic Four on the screen , despite being Marvel ’s first superhero squad , and the core of the innovative Marvel comic . I was told that Fantastic Four imagination had been taken down at Marvel ’s position . And then sure very chatty hoi polloi in the past suddenly clammed up when this was mentioned .
Well , this break of day another shoe on the cat dropped . An creative person who I have been ask not to name , told me , " I do a number of sketch card projects for Upper Deck and Rittenhouse using Marvel characters . The most recent undertaking from both ship’s company , one billed as Marvel 75th Anniversary , gave specific guidelines to NOT use any FF characters or supporting cast such as Dr Doom , Galactus , Surfer , Skrulls etc … " So … what do we think ? Another reservoir close to Marvel secernate me that this is all come from Marvel chief executive officer and largest Disney shareholderIke Perlmutter , who has been experience to take these variety of thing very in person indeed . Also , it ’s deserving pointing out that Marvel has a very unlike kinship with Fox than it does with Sony .
UPDATE : From another creative person , here comes the instruction sheet received by sketch card artists .
UPDATEx2 : CBR have go down the rabbit hole with us . More on Bleeding Cool tomorrow …
CBR can not confirm the accurate future of " Fantastic Four " and " Ultimate FF , " but has affirm with multiple industry sources verbalize on the status of namelessness that a hiatus for the property is reportedly design , at least as of latterly . Plans can change , something that ’s potentially more probable now that the situation has been made public . The Fantastic Four fiber are said to continue appearing in other Marvel titles , just not in a specifically branded " Fantastic Four " series .
