Runners-up to follow
8 out of 10 this week Not too bad.
Is Doc Savage still owned by Marvel? I thought the rights have changed hands.
I can’t find anything on the print rights for the character (supposedly there was some Conde Nast that claimed copyright and threatening to sue another group back in 2006) but found this about other rights to the character, “As co-creator of Doc Savage, author Lester Dent retained the radio, film, and television rights to the character as part of his contract with Street and Smith Publications, publishers of the Doc Savage pulp magazine. Although Dent succeeded in launching a short-lived radio program, he was never able to interest Hollywood in a Doc Savage film. Upon Dent’s death in 1959, his widow, Norma Dent, acquired the radio, film, and television rights to Doc Savage.” – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Savage:_The_Man_of_Bronze
No. It’s Dynamite now I believe
The Rock will make a great Doc Savage but I was really hoping to see him as Black Adam sooner than later. Any word out there on the status of Black Adam on the big screen?
