It means Disney can put them in the MCU. Wolverine and Ironman just chilling. They also own Avatar. I'm curious about their back catalog. What other properties are they getting?

Will make things REALLY interesting as it puts Universal over the proverbial barrel for a few key IPs like The Simpsons .

20th Century fox vs Universal Studios. Game on.

I read it would not include the TV side, just films.

Update on this. It's dead in the water at the moment. Fox and Disney were in talks but they have currently stalled. Unknown if they will continue in the future or not.

More importantly, would this allow the use of the fanfare to return before the Star Wars theme. The two go together like peas and carrots.

And here I was playing with the possibility of an Olaf + Scrat crossover short... Not that, that would remotely happen anyway.

yahoo has an article also. a deal could possibly be announced by next week. approximately $60 billion. i’ll be surprised if it goes through.

Star Wars would be complete too. I honestly hope that Disney would sell off some of the items it is buying.

Star Wars will never complete as long as there is a dollar left in the pockets of the movie going public.

I’m not so sure because having extra content would bolster their upcoming streaming service.

Though I wonder if they’d try and make a deal with Universal on some of these IP’s that involved Disney getting Marvel’s theme park rights back.

Didn’t think of that. I doubt Universal would listen.

One can hope!!

My guess- One of the first MCU films of Phase 4 is Disney’s take on Fantastic 4. So far, the only two films announced are Spider-Man 2 (or whatever they call it) and Guardians 3. I’m assuming sequels to Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel will also be debuting in 2020 and 2021, but I think it’s entirely plausible for Fantastic 4 (the fourth film in the series, unless you count the 1990 version) to come out in 2020 after Guardians 3.

X-Men is going to take awhile to get sorted out since Fox has 2 or 3 coming out in 2018 (all I know about are Deadpool 2 and Dark Phoenix, not sure if New Mutants ever started filming). With F4, Disney can start from scratch. Idk if Disney wants the whole complicated mutant family yet, or if they’ll wait a few years to debut a new movie with an entirely new cast.

 

[Princess Leia]

I stand corrected, New Mutants is in post-production.
X-men films for 2018:

New Mutants- April
Deadpool 2- June
Dark Phoenix- November

Honestly it looks like the one movie that could be affected the most is Gambit, since it’s still in pre-production. Sorry, Channing Tatum.
