The NZA Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Chris Claremont: X-Men writers can't create new characters because Fox will own them source “Combat Cow is not a mutant. Because if he was a mutant there would be a war between a publishing company and a film company and we don’t want that.” – Chris Claremont. ... “I have to say quite honestly as I understand it now the X department is forbidden to create new characters. (SHOCK RESPONSE) “Well… who owns them? “All because all new characters become the film property of Fox. “There will be no X-Men merchandising for the foreseeable future because, why promote Fox material?” sharkgirl too!

alive she cried Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) This is the kind of shit people were afraid of when Disney bought Marvel. They couldn't give a flying fuck about the comics division. To them Marvel is the film department and the comics department is just part of all the other insignificant crap that came along with that purchase.

Iambaytor Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Not quite. It's actually Marvel CEO Isaac Perlmutter who put this rule out and seeing everything I've read about the man paints him as a penny pinching nutcase I'd say Disney hasn't said anything at all. Don't lose hope though, it just means they can't release characters in an X-men book and with inhumans popping up everywhere mutants are no longer necessary. There's also the stable of hundreds if not thousands of characters to pull from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 right, and even so, Rembrener & co have been making a lotta new mutants in the last few years all the same (not just goldballs either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
