Marvel Studios Can Make a Daredevil Movie Now – But Not an Elektra One?

by Susana Polo | 11:41 am, August 15th, 2012

One of the biggest questions about the continued future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (currently populated by the members of the Avengers and a tiny smattering of superheroic characters that make up their supporting casts) is when properties that were licensed out exclusively to other movie studios will be returning to Marvel ownership, or indeed, if they will be returning at all. I’ll leave the discussion of the details of these licensing agreements to below the cut, for those who aren’t familiar, but here’s the main surprise of the day:

That Time David Bowie’s Wife Was Almost Black Widow

by Susana Polo | 12:55 pm, January 21st, 2012

There is an alternate universe, where, among the other television adaptations of superheroes in the 1970s; like The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, the made-for-TV Captain America, and Captain America II: Death Too Soon (not kidding, featuring the talents of that guy from Space Mutiny); that ranged in quality from “enjoyable camp” to “what?” there was…

A Black Widow and Daredevil tv show with David Bowie‘s then-wife in a starring role. There’s even a couple photos to prove it.

This will not be the poster we’ll see to advertise the movie, but this poster designed for the crew of Captain America: The First Avenger by Paola Rivera features the classic comic book cover image of Cap punching Hitler in the face. And they knew we’d want to see that. (At Superhero Hype)
