User blog:ARTaylor/September 2016 Poll Results

October is here and that means another poll has wrapped up (though you can still vote in older ones here). Last month we asked which proposed idea for a direct-to-video feature you would like to see. Every choice got a vote but only one came out on top.




 * 1) The winner with 46.7% was World War Hulk. While discussing Planet Hulk the producers talked about following up the film with the popular comics sequel story. It would have featured Hulk returning to Earth to take revenge against the Illuminati. Though Planet Hulk came just before The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel Entertainment ending that run of direct-to-video features.
 * 2) In second place with 20% was X-Men vs Fantastic Four, an idea proposed as a follow-up to Hulk Vs. The two heroic teams do have a history of fighting in the comics. However, with 20th Century Fox owning both properties, Marvel seems to have no interest in making anything involving either team.
 * 3) Tied for third with 13.3% was a sequel to Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme and Deadpool. The Sorcerer Supreme ended with a tease for what was to come, by mentioning longtime Doctor Strange love interest Clea, though the video did not do too well financially. Deadpool would have tied in with his appearance on Hulk Vs though, as previously mentioned, Marvel has little interest in making anything X-Men related. The hugely successful live-action film probably also took some wind out of those sails.
 * 4) Coming in last with 6.7% was a Black Widow movie that would have been a prequel to Ultimate Avengers showing how she became a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and number one agent to Nick Fury. At the time of the videos, female-centric movies did not have a history of success and even now, despite the massive success of her live-action appearances and large fan campaign, she is unable to get her own film.
