Is it in proper format? Did you use Movie Magic or some other formatting software to meet studio standards? Have you tried the expected Hollywood channels for new scripts?

I would think the retired Marvel exec you had read it, would/should still have contacts in the business. If the script is that good, get a dedicated agent and he will be able to sell it.

Yes, it’s in perfect format — done in Final Draft, I believe. And agents have been approached. Unfortunately, they’re almost impossible for newcomers to access (just as hard as the studios). They only become accessible, for the most part, oly until after you’ve proven yourself on your own without their help, so it’s kinda of a Catch-22. The former Marvel staffer who looked at it was not a former executive, but a former script reader for executives there (one of their filters for scripts). If you have any particular agents in mind, who might be more open than the usual, feel free to message me privately. Thanks!
