Marvel Characters Pixar Could Adapt

Pixar is taking steps it seems to start up more live-action features with films like John Carter of Mars. Disney having access to Marvel's lineup there are chances that we could see the lesser known characters being handled by Pixar. Since Marvel Studios will still have their plates full with Thor, Captain America, Avengers and Iron Man 3. It leaves it's lesser known characters open for adaptation by Pixar. Of course this doesn't mean Marvel will be shut out of the creative process. These are Marvel characters so I expect Marvel hired writers and cast to be involved. Pixar would be handling the direction and production aspects of the films. With Disney putting up the finaces and adverstising.


Ant-Man: The story of Hank Pym is of a scienstic who is able to make himself many different superheroes. The script has already been written by Edgar Wright (Tintin, Shaun of The Dead), who more than likely won't be able to direct until Baby Driver is finished production. With an estimated release date of 2012, the same year as the release of Avengers. I hope thatbecause of Hank Pym's involvement with Avengers he'll be introduced in that film. So that if Pixar does end up handling it's production it will be live-action rather than a animated movie. While I expect this to be a Marvel Studios project in the end, I also could see Pixar taking it if Marvel is too busy.

Kristen Wiig as Janet van Dyne aka Wasp.



Ka-Zar/The Savage Lands: There couldn't be a better property for Pixar to tackle than Ka-Zar and The Savage Lands. With their work on John Carter of Mars, I wouldn't doubt Pixar could be eying a Savage Lands film. A place where time forgot, it has dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and humaniods roaming around. The lost world was created by aliens 200 million years in Antarctica, for hunting purposes. It would later become the headquarters for villains such as Magneto and Mr. Sinister. The world is rich and is a mix of Tarzan, Jurassic Park and John Carter.

DAZZLER: Similar to the upcoming Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, mixing the world of music and superhero genre. Depending on the success of that concept, we could see a Dazzler film. Dazzler is one of the least known characters in the Marvel Universe and could be one of the characters Disney picks up on.

Artists such as Kylie Minogue and Lady GaGa could end up developing the music for the film.
