Dormant films

Do we want to have some kind of rule-of-thumb in regards to movies announced that haven't had any activity in a while? Like, if there's no new activity in the last three years, then take it off the list? -Joltman (talk) 11:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a good idea to have some sort of decision on this. As it stands we have an edit war over whether Luke Cage and similar films will magically be made before Iron Man 2 etc Planewalker Dave (talk) 17:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Announced and in-development movies

This list is getting pretty long and new things are being added to it ridiculously often. Some are genuine, others not so much. My suggestion is that for each movie on the list there should be at least one cite to say where the information comes from. Planewalker Dave (talk) 11:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've trimmed it substantially to include stuff for which there is actually significant evidence in reliable sources that the films are actually being made, as the fan speculation was getting ridiculous. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should include X-Men Origins: Magneto and X-Men First Class in the list of upcoming movies and Ant-Man as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.211.87.107 (talk) 15:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Men In Black

Actually, there's a reasonable argument for including these two films; in fact, the opening credits of both state "Based on the Marvel comic". Blackmetalbaz (talk) 06:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC) I think you should add them on the list! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.211.87.107 (talk) 15:54, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The incredible hulk movies,

These should be listed in with the made for tv movies, as the first was the pilot for the show, and the other three continuations of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.95.157 (talk) 06:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Red Sonja?

Red Sonja (1985), a spin-off of the Conan movies. She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 (Marvel Comics). Although the Conan character is a Mavel comic, the movies are based closer to the source material by writer Robert E. Howard. The character of Sonja however is a Marvel creation. The is a new Red Sonja movie to be released in 2010.
