Last Resort Films has just announced that they interested in expanding their slate of Marvel Comics films to complement their ever expansive series of DC Comics Universe films. Of the Marvel films previously released by the studio, only
Silver Surfer from writer Mark Newton will be considered part of the series canon. The Marvel films from writer Jack Ryder (Inhumans, Hawkeye, White Tiger) will not be considered part of the series since they feature characters and actors who have appeared in Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Speaking of which, LRF will not be able to use any characters or actors featured in any past or announced films from the Disney Marvel banner. LRF president Phil Dolan has reportedly tasked Mark Newton (The Raid, "Brimstone") and Dwight Gallo ("Nez Perce", "Hitman") to assist in the overseeing and development of the studio's Marvel Universe, in a role similar to what APJ does for the studio's DC Comics Universe. One of their primary roles will be to assist other writers in the development of Marvel films to ensure they fit in with the overall vision of the universe and to ensure that the canon is consistent. The series will officially kick off with next season's sequel to
Silver Surfer. No other films are officially on the schedule at this point. Head over to the LRF Message Board for more information.
