Marvel Comics Copyrights

How do I get the rights to write my own screenplay about a certain comic book character?

How does one get the rights to do this? There is a certain type of character which I am fascinated with but the comic did not last very long. I wanted to revive the character through means of motion picture by penning my own script and pitching it to a studio. He’s a character from Marvel Comics but I won’t say who. He just wasn’t very popular. So how do I get the rights or permission to write a script or could I just write the screenplay and NOT get it copyrighted due to the fact its based off a marvel character? Thanks.

Marvel guards its copyright really tight. Without permission from them, you could not get anything produced.

Also, unless you have an agent stumping for you, no studio, direcotr, producer or actor will even look at your offering
