Marvel Earnings Report Reveals Upcoming Project Details
Follow the Money.
Marvel has released its quarterly company earnings report and according to Comics2Film, many interesting things were revealed in the report, besides how much money Marvel made or didn't make. According to the site, the report also gives clues about Marvel's slate of live-action films as well as several new animated titles including a World War Hulk direct-to-video feature and Super Hero Squad TV series.
The Planet Hulk film, planned for a February 2010 release, is being produced by Marvel's animation partner Lionsgate and joins a roster of upcoming films which already includes Hulk Vs., Next Avengers and Thor: Son of Asgard. However, according to the report, Marvel isn't just working on direct-to-video animated films, they are also planing several animated TV projects as well.
The company is developing a large roster of animated TV series such as Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-Men, Iron Man: The Animated Series, Hulk: The Animated Series. They are also working on a show called Super Hero Squad, which is a version of the well-known heroes geared towards a much younger audience.
Finally, the report may also reveal that Matthew Vaughn, who was attached as writer and director of the live-action Thor feature, may have left the project because now its listed as "writer engaged" instead of "writer and director engaged." So, some interesting bits of into there. Who knew you could get so much great stuff from an earnings report? I'll have to pay attention to those more often I guess.
Of course, if the Vaughn info turns out to be true, we'll bring you all the details right here at ComicMix.
