I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. After all, Iger had to calm investors by saying they were going to slow down and focus on fewer, more-likely-to-make-money films. That would leave these poorer performers off the list.
Honestly it could be true and not true at the same time. They could very well be shelved. They could also very well be brought back if things get back on track with the mcu. We can all assume that any sort of divisive film is getting cut. That doesn't mean it's dead forever.
I would agree and add that it doesn’t mean the characters themselves are shelved. They can still be used in other projects like Secret Wars.
Agreed. There is no timetable for keeping something on the “back burner” if they choose to do so.
I actually was kind of excited for it. I figured like guardians, not many know the characters. So you had some flexibility. It could have been a fun ensemble film. After having seen it. Yea, no need for a 2nd film. It was a complete mess. You can bring in characters to other projects if you need. But continuing that series would be a major mistake.
Disagree- the matter is a bit above most if not all the main story lines in the comics. And with less time in a movie to tell it all? It was always going to be a tough sell. If anything telling the cosmic level stories of Marvel needs something like the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix saga or Marv-ell down right.

There has been this back and forth unknown with the Uni distribution rights for both Namor and Hulk for a long time. The hints from Feige indicate both can be used in the MCU at any time. The only question is solo films, and I doubt we'd get either of them in a solo film anyways so really doesn't matter.The Sub-Mariner, aka Namor first appearing in Marvel Comics #1 (via Timely Comics) aka the company that became Marvel Comics?
