Isn’t this…SOP? Like, that’s one of the reasons James Gunn has specifically said he won’t do a movie unless there’s a finished script?

I feel like they have basic ideas in place and a majority of the script but like to adapt based on new ideas or problems that they encounter while putting together their movies.

Yeah, Feige talked about it recently.

At a press event, Feige denied that Marvel had ever started a movie without a full script, but did say he's never been happy with a script or even finished movie. Instead, he said he and Marvel preferred "plus-ing at every turn."

In fact, there is "plus-ing" occurring on the set of Avengers: Doomsday as we speak.

"There's plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well," Feige said (H/T The Hollywood Reporter). "So if they have an idea, you want to listen to it and you want to adjust to it and you want to improve it. I wouldn't want to change that."


Sounds like a good way to do it to me.

Yes, thank you. I was thinking by about this exact thing when I wrote my comment so I appreciate you digging it up and posting it.

I see.. People in colourful costumes, explosions...
Brilliant! Call the actors, I'm getting a crew together. Oh, and see if you can find someone to flesh the script out a bit. We start filming on monday.

That movie was mid at BEST. it's overrated because it doesn't suck compared to their recent trash, but it's not actually good.

Sounded promising, was meh in reality. It was so formulaic and boring. You knew the outcome from the beginning, and none of the characters were particularly interesting, let alone likeable. Whereas Superman even made the dickhead green lantern likeable. I've always hated Superman and the surrounding characters but Tim Gunn made a FAR better movie out of less interesting characters (to me) than marvel made with beloved characters. Marvel just is losing what made it great. And that was the connection to the characters and heart. Superman has heart and likeable characters. Fantastic 4 had formulaic bullshit and characters that were boring.

I don't understand how fantastic 4 is so well received. It's "meh" at best.
