Marvel films krijgen nieuwe extraatjes?

Nu dat Marvel letterlijk meer en meer een gevestigde waarde wordt in het filmwereldje, vindt Joe Quesada dat ze het nog een stapje verder kunnen nemen. Hij zei namelijk tegen MTV op de New York Comic Con dat hij een reeks comics wilt ontwikkelen die samenhangen met het Marvel film universum. Sterker nog, deze comics zouden het verhaal van de film meer dan aanvullen.

Hier is was de man te zeggen had (met dank aan de site Comicbookmovie):

“We’re actually working on some interesting ways of marketing the Marvel cinematic universe — I guess the MCU, we could call it. We know the stories that we want to tell, and for the uninitiated, the MCU are going to be stories set within movie continuity.”

“[The MCU stories are] not necessarily direct adaptations of the movies, but maybe something that happened off screen and was mentioned in the movie, and we’ll tell that story. We’re working on some very exciting ways on how to market that particular product, but again, this is really just in the beginning stages. If we’re able to pull it off, it’ll be pretty massive. I think it’s going to put the MCU on the map very, very quickly.”

“We’re really excited about it, because the folks that are involved in the movies on the West Coast will be involved in these stories. It won’t be like one of our comic book writers saw the movie and has an idea for a story. No, these stories are originating at the very top. [Marvel Studios chief] Kevin Feige is involved with these and in some cases maybe the writers of the movies would be involved in these.”

“It’s all coming from the same house, which is our west coast guys generating these ideas and then either just giving them to some of our writers or maybe some of these guys writing them themselves.”
