Who Owns The Film Rights To Namor?

He was originaly a Fantastic Four character but he is also a Mutant and has been an Avenger various times throughout his existence

ME

but seriously last I checked universal owns them I'd rather see an aquaman movie myself but ill still be first in line for a namor movie

Interesting, I'd be curious to find out who, too.

@binski: Universal?

@jonny_anonymous: Universal owns the rights to Namor (who previously owned The Hulk rights.)

@lyrafay: Well that sucks, he cant appear in anybodies film then

@jonny_anonymous: Yeah but then again Universal doesn't have a superhero franchise as opposed to everybody else, so they still could use him. Interestingly enough Man-thing's rights is at Lionsgate.

@lyrafay: Why would anybody buys movie rights for Man-thing lol

@marlboroman: No Idea!!

@lyrafay: Yea but would a Namor film with no other big Marvel characters be any good? Funny thing is I think Lionsgate would do quite well by Man-Thing

@marlboroman: You could make a great horror film with him

@jonny_anonymous: Probably not but I agree with you on the Man-Thing/Lionsgate, that could do well.

Well that blows, I was hoping he'd appear in the Fantastic Four movies :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Thing_(film) They tried...

@awesam: Have you seen it?

I watched it when I was 14 or 15. Really crappy, but disturbing. I'm surprised no one here has heard about it.

crappy in a good way or a bad way? Coz I love horror b-movies.

Crappy in a straight-to-DVD horror movie way. Watch it if you like the character, but it's really weird. Man-Thing looked pretty cool, though.

@awesam: I remember watching on Scifi thinking it was one of the crappy ones they make.

Current list seen on reddit.

@mr_ingenuity: beat me to it

Wth, Namor is owned by Universal? That's no use to anybody.

Hm. I thought Namor was owned by Fox, for some reason.

Seriously. Those rights probably wouldn't be too difficult for Marvel to get back. What could Universal even do with Namor?

Poor Namor. If Marvel doesn't get him back, he will probably never be used.

I want a universal movie to come out about namor now.

They need to add that they had to sell them because they were going bankrupt.
