Ask DST #162: Halo, Marvel, MvC3

Art Asylum has the latest Q&A session with DSTChuck, covering Halo, a whole lot of Marvel, and more. Below are the highlights:

• DST no longer has the Halo license, so nothing planned after series 5. Things could always change in the future.
• Always the chance to go back and revisit old Minimates with updates.
• DST doesn’t have the rights to Marvel’s old movies, but if Marvel were willing to license them out, its always a possibility to revisit ones that were missed.
• DST looked into Mass Effect, but nothing ever came of it.
• More Battle Beasts on the way.
• DST is weighing their options regarding selling display stands for Minimates.
• Squirrel Girl has never been discussed.
• Stan Lee is not included in any Marvel rights.
• No plans for more Bruce Lee either.
• Chance of seeing the “Phoenix Five” from AvX, but no plans for a 5-pack of characters.
• No plans for Celestials.
• DC seems to be a closed door, but there’s always the chance for other comic properties in Minimate form.
• Fan poll rejects can always see production, if their inclusion makes sense.
• DST isn’t really hiring, but aren’t opposed to looking at portfolios.
• Marvel games aren’t included in Marvel movie rights. Its a separate license.
• If new Daredevil or Fantastic Four movies get off the ground, its always possible that they’ll be licensed.
• Marvel vs Capcom is done, but there’s still more characters out there that DST might want to take a crack at. You never know.
