Hollywood What If Chapter 284

  Most people khat Marvel ics went bankrupt a few years ago. And while Marvel ics was in their deepest shit hole, Grey Pictures approached them to buy some of their characters.

  The bank owhe pany at the time and they made the arras and sold the characters for a few million dolrs.

  Now, the characters that Grey Pictures bought were mostly small superheroes that were not famous. Marvel's famous characters were Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.

  The X-Men that 20th tury Fox made two years ago was successful. Marvel was impressed, but not enough to be excited or eted. After all, the film only grossed 296 million worldwide.

  The impact of Spider-Man, however, was far greater. No, this was the most successful movie to e out of Marvel ibsp;

  Imagine a single character making 900 million at the box office. Because of this, Marvel ics gained a little fiden their characters.

  The profits from ic books were getting smaller and smaller, and Marvel ics would go out of business if they didn't solve the problem.

  The solution they came up with? Create a ematiiverse. Which was the right decision because Marvel Studios is worth billions in inal timeline.

  Also, Marvel ics had a good example to copy.

  The tial ematiiverse created by Grey Pictures was a huge success. Now every character in this ematiiverse has bee well known, Bryan Mills, John Wick, Jason Bourne and Wesley Gibson.

  There was nothing special about their appearance, but boys and me crazy just to get their a figures.

  In addition, Grey Pictures was iating with several publishers to produovels and ic books about CCU. They were also talking about possible animated series.

  It was still a rumor, but Stel Willow, the General Manager of Grey Pictures, was very busy because of these rumors.

  Ohing was for sure, Grey Pictures was doing well.

  Marvel ics wahe same treatment, but they k would be difficult. Unless Marvel ics got the same status as Grey Pictures.

  A few weeks ago someone from Walt Disney tacted Avi Arad and said they were ied in buying some of the characters from Marvel ibsp;

  Perhaps Walt Disney was trying to copy the ret success of X-Men and Spider-Man... especially Spider-Man.

  However, the characters Walt Disney was looking for were Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk, who were already owned by Grey Pictures.

  Walt Disney was willing to pay tens of millions just to acquire their chts, which was shog but expected.

  Even Universal and Paramount were ied in their characters after the success of Spider-Man.

  So now Marvel ics was fag some problems. They need money.

  'We o acquire these characters and resell them, or we ...'

  Avi Arad stopped thinking. He was not sure of the oute of this versation. First of all, he khat this was just their first versation and no promises would be made. Especially when Kazir Grey was known for his ing behavior.

  While Avi Arad was busy thinking about business, Stahoughts were all about the hopes of Marvel characters having their own movies.

  Stan worked with Kazir on Spider-Man and saw the director y the groundwork for the movie to be released.

  In his opinion, Kazir was the main reason for the film's success. His clear vision for the film and his strict but sistent shooting. His authority and the respect he got from the people. Despite his achievements, Kazir erfect for his career.

  'If we are really serious about making a ematiiverse, then Kazir is the best option we have. He has already proven himself, and his credentials are unparalleled in that regard.' the old ic creator thought.

  Kazir could make another ematiiverse with a high ce of success. That was for sure.

  So yes, the two higher-ups at Marvel ics have their own opinions.

  Avi Arad wahe characters back, while Stan Lee hoped that Kazir would start w on Marvel characters as he had promised.

  hat frey Pictures to acquire the chts for a small amount, they made a tract that Grey Pictures has to make a Marvel movie within 10 years, or else the characters would naturally return to Marvel ibsp;

  In addition, Grey Pictures must i at least 50 million in the Marvel movie or the tract would be void.

  Grey Pictures acquired the chts in 1997 and the deadline was 2007. If the studio failed to make a Marvel movie, the characters would return to Marvel ibsp;

  The two executives followed Kazir nervously into the garden, but they hid their emotions well.

  Kazir stopped in his tracks, and the others stopped as well.

  "I already have an idea of what we're going to talk about. So I want to make it clear, I'm very ied in doing a Marvel movie. We reiate the tract if you're ied."

  "..."

  Stan Lee sighed weakly with relief. He was the co-creator of many Marvel characters and he hoped to see them iers.

  "Kazir, I think we talk about this seriously."

  Avi Arad frowned. He had no problem with that, but he wahe best for Marvel ics. They had already sold the chts, but they could fight for the remaining bes such as box office, DVD sales, and peripheral profits.

  "I uand."

  Kazir agreed.

  At first, he only wahe chts to the Marvel characters because he felt they would jeopardize the ematiiverse he envisioned.

  But now that the CCU was successful and no one could pete with it, Kazir felt that creating the MCU was not a problem.

  "Kazir, first of all, let me ask you this. Who's the first Marvel character you want to make a movie about?"

  Since Kazir had already stated his iions, Stan Lee decided to ask more.

  "Hm, let's see... I'm ied in doing The Hulk and Iron Man. Although I prefer Iron Man first."

  "Iron Man, huh..."

  Holy, Stahought Kazir would choose The Hulk because it was a famous character, on par with Spider-Man and X-Men.

  Well, Kazir was a talented director, so he probably had a pn.
