A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal.

Marvel To Lose Rights to Wolverine
[quote]At issue is a contract between Marvel Comics, the current publisher of Wolverine, and Twentieth Century Fox, a subsidiary of News Corporation and producer of the big budget ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ movie.
According to legal experts, News Corporation lawyers added a clause giving Twentieth Century Fox complete rights to Wolverine upon release of the movie, as well as complete rights to all other Marvel Comics’ characters appearing in the movie.[/quote]
Holy cow. I mean really, why didn't Marvel notice that in the contract?
If 20th Century Fox wins in this, I really wonder where the development of Wolverine will go down the line. How sad to have a character that they created and have worked on for years be taken away!

My ultimate wish is for Marvel to entirely own their films. After watching what they did with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk (especially linking them together), the first thing I wanted was for Marvel to make all their movies. No Sony, no Universal, no Fox to add their visions in there, just Marvel Studios. The fact that Marvel runs the show means the characters will be much better presented to us with regards to their comics.
I would even be patient enough to have them reboot established franchises like Spider-Man and X-Men. I wouldn't redo the origins, but play off them. Exactly how The Incredible Hulk did it. There is just soooo much that can be done with the deep rooted history of all the characters. And my personal opinion is that if Marvel Studios self-produces them all, we have a much better chance that the films and storylines will be much closer to the classic storylines of the comics.
Sony adds in their ideas for Spider-Man, which may not always be bad ideas, but I think in general, they deviate away from the true nature of the character. Same goes for Fox with Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil, and any other character they might have somewhat tarnished because they have a different vision for them.
"*starts headbutting the wall*Exactly.

"I haven't read any other posts in this thread, so I have no idea what it's about, but if this happened it would b devastating to Marvel's sales. Everybody knows that a comic's sales is directly linked to the number of times Wolverine appears in it."HAHAHAHAHA!
