No Predator Comics From Marvel At All In 2021 Now
In April, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Marvel Comics was pulling its newly planned Predator comic book launch for July 2021 from Ed Brisson and Kev Walker, the variant cover promotional campaign running in June and the Predator Omnibus reprinting the Dark Horse series also planned for July. No reason was given, the best direction we had was that the new scheduled dates were to make a bigger splash with Penguin Random House. But then we read the Hollywood Reporter's splash the movie's writers, Jim and John Thomas, suing Disney to reclaim the rights to Predator from Disney.
"The Thomas brothers are seeking to exploit copyright law's termination provision, which allows authors to cancel transfers after waiting a period of time, typically 35 years, for newer works. According to the complaint, the effective termination date for their screenplay (originally titled "Hunters") is April 17, this Saturday. Jim and John Thomas say they served a termination notice all the way back in 2016 — and for four-and-a-half years heard no objection."
Without acknowledging any reason, lawsuit or not, Marvel Comics then stated that the launch would be rescheduled to November, with the Omnibus for May next year. But solicitations for November and now December (and the first week in January) have been and gone, and there is no sign of the rescheduled Predator #1. When approached, Marvel told Bleeding Cool that they have no comment to make.
