    Regardless, there are lots of interesting reveals in the piece which you can read by clicking on the link below, but perhaps the biggest is the news that the then Marvel Studios head managed to save Captain America and Thor being sold off to other studios. Apparently, deals were in works which would have seen Steve Rogers head to Warner Bros., while the God of Thunder would have ended up at Sony following the success of their Spider-Man movies. "If I had gotten there three months, six months later, those deals would have been done," he alleges "And there would be no chance to bring all these characters together." Needless to say, had those deals gone down, The Avengers would have been a very, very different movie! Maisel also confirms that Universal still hold the distribution rights toThe Hulk while Marvel owns the character, so a solo movie remains unlikely.

    Marvel files for bankruptcy in the 90s. They needed cash.

    I'm surprised the movie rights to him werent sold.
