WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - Agatha All Along new ep every Wednesday

To be honest, I have no idea what "First Look" deal is.


Via wiki:

In the film industry, it is an agreement between a writer and an independent producer (production company) or an independent producer and a film studio in which the potential buyer (producer or studio) of a not-yet-written script or in-development movie or television project pays a development fee to the writer or producer for the right to have the first look at the new material before others in the industry get to see it, and at that time make an offer to purchase or distribute or adhere to purchase or distribution terms already stated in the agreement.
 
So even if they write or produce the Winter Soldier or Infinity Wars then Sony gets' first dibs on it? Or just anything concerning Spiderman?
 
 
 
Marvel Directing Duo Joe and Anthony Russo Ink First-Look Deal With Sony Pictures

The duo next directs “Captain America: Civil War” for Marvel, with Sony’s Spider-Man set to make an appearance “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” directors Joe and Anthony Russo have entered into a three-year first-look deal for feature films with Sony Pictures Entertainment, the company announced Tuesday.

The news comes after Marvel and Sony announced a partnership that would introduce a new Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, before headlining his own solo film.

“Joe and Anthony Russo are terrifically exciting filmmakers with a sensibility that matches the tastes of audiences worldwide,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad in a statement.

The Russos’ deal with Sony begins in April.

“We’re thrilled to make a home at Sony Pictures, and to be partnering with the entire team,” the directors said. “The studio has created an environment that is not only collaborative, but truly filmmaker-friendly and we’re excited to begin developing both new and ambitious material with them.”

The Russos are directing “Captain America: Civil War,” where the new Spidey is expected to make his first appearance before his own film is released in 2017. Most recently, Drew Goddard was said to be directing though insiders later cautioned, “Drew has not yet met with Marvel but will soon; along with several others.”
So they go from Winter Soldier, to Civil War, to the next Spiderman? THAT, is a helluva run there.

I believe they're directing infinity gauntlet too. I thought I read that at least. 
 
As stated before, doesn't really mean the Russos will direct. I believe their initial offer to Sony was just to produce Spidey films.

And the Russos aren't exactly 100% confirmed to be directing Infinity Wars yet, Whedon has just been rumored to be stepping away after AoU and with Cap2s success, the Russos are the ones getting the nod.
 
So even if they write or produce the Winter Soldier or Infinity Wars then Sony gets' first dibs on it? Or just anything concerning Spiderman?
No. Of course not :lol I don't even think the deal is regulated to just superhero flicks.

Anyway though, a script they write for IW or Cap (or if they decide to produce) isn't "new material". That's a licensed ip owned by another production company/movie studio.

The Russos aren't writers so maybe they can still get Goddard to write the Spidey script?
 
It's crazy how the Russo brothers transitioned from mostly TV/comedy to Winter Soldier and now this.

Whoever put them on deserves kudos. Most likely Feige, correct?
 
Yeah, deals like this are exclusively for new IPs or stuff their production company acquires

The hate was strong when they were announced too.

Even at his most modest top speed Quick would still be OP. At least for these Marvel movies.

Had no idea the woman playing Scarlett Witch is an Olsen sister, I was just watching Godzilla trying to figure out why her face was so familiar.
