I heard this on CBS Radio over the weekend: Avi Arad is working on having Marvel finance and produce its own movies. Instead of having Fox or Sony produce them, and grab most of the profits, Arad's secured a significant amount of credit to produce movies based on Captain America or Nick Fury. The article also states that Arad hopes to make the Hulk sequel and Iron Man movie independently as well. Existing franchises like Spider-Man or X-Men would have to stay at their existing studios. Very interesting article, especially the beginning part where Arad is telling X-Men director Brett Ratner what to shoot. Nuff said.
