What's interesting is that the latest X-men films have disappeared completely from the release slate which has led some people to believe they've been cancelled completely despite being finished. If that's the case, I can see the first hint of the MCU X-men appearing in the 2019 Marvel films. I predict that the first x-men to appear will be Storm in Black Panther 2. Quite exciting although it's not good news for the industry as Disney's monopoly is only gonna get worse from here on out. |

Disney is getting too powerful and that is not a good thing.

Yeah not really a fan of what Disney has done with Star Wars tbh... a creative monopoly will be terrible for us in the West. We had that growing up in my generation in the US to a degree with our broad-stroke censorship... but Disney was always challenged to give us a great tale & drama that went outside of the box... now they've become too coveted in our culture.
Oh well, I will just go further towards foreign/india media for all my movies, entertainment etc... I already do for music and I've started to watch a lot of digital shows as well. I guess to some degree, it was pretty much inevitable... |

In theory it means less originality (and there's isn't an awful lot of that at the moment with big-budget tentpole films) but what balances it out is the rise of streaming services and new media.
Disney and Fox are just trying to compete with the likes of Netflix, YouTube and big-technology compaines like Apple getting involved in entertainment. These types of mergers are inevitable. |

I have no issue with it to be honest. Hollywood / cinema / blockbuster type movies are what they are, they're never going to be high-brow... Pure escapism and I enjoy them for what they are. Frankly, most of the supposedly Oscar worthy Hollywood stuff is pretentious trash.
So I say keep the blockbusters coming bigger and better. There are still plenty of independent movies that are actually interesting and good coming out, on all sorts of platforms, and that will continue and most likely increase in both quantity and quality as streaming becomes more and more "the norm" over live TV. My only real concern is that the MCU will become too busy if they start introducing a tonne of mutants. It's already a little crowded. I would love for Disney/Marvel to put together a good quality Xmen TV series though. We've had a few spin off style ones with minor characters... But a "Proper" one with the core Xmen / the actual school would be awesome. |

Disney acquiring a lot of new assets also means substantial IP expansions within its theme parks too. We’re already seeing a mass Marvel presence appearing, and the new Star Wars areas opening on both coasts of America, and also a watered down version in Paris in a few years.
It gives them room to manoeuvre in the market especially in Orlando where the biggest competition, Universal is expected to open a fourth gate by 2023. |

They've pretty much trashed Star Wars though... I hope they give the new stuff to more competent people .
The core Star Wars audience is not kids anymore, they need to realise that and make their Star Wars universe a bit darker with more impact. Likewise, I feel like there scope for the Xmen franchise being aimed at a slightly older audience than the overall MCU (though there will inevitably be crossovers). I'm wondering if they'll retcon Scarlet Witch / Quicksilver as mutants? It would be quite easy to do so... They could discover that their powers aren't FROM the mind stone, just that the experiments with it unlocked their latent Mutant abilities that they already had (which would explain why they were the only candidates that the experiments worked on). Both characters are kind of big in the Xmen universe so it would be a bit odd if they had to be kept as "enhanced humans" rather than mutants. I also can't see them not somehow bringing Quicksilver back if they do indeed combine the universes? Then again, they may well keep them separate franchises for the time being.

Three years until a new Star Wars film after Episode 9, then every two years. Four Avatar sequels starting December 2021.
They're going to make billions this year, with Avengers, Toy Story 4, Lion King, Frozen 2 and Star Wars. |

How many live action films are they going to make though?
I mean yeah it was kinda cute to start off with and enjoyed some of them but to make a live action of every film is going a bit far what have we had so far? Snow white and the huntsman Alice in wonderland Cinderella Maleficent Jungle Book Beauty and the beast Dumbo Aladdin Lion King Am I forgetting any? I know Mulan and Hunchback are being made So I'm hoping we get Little Mermaid and Pocahontas And erm...can't think of any more but I see Cruella is in the pipeline on the schedule that will be good. Ursula needs her own film too!!!

Is anyone even all that interested in ONE Avatar sequel at this point? I mean it was an OK film but the major draw was it being a "flagship" 3D movie and there are hundreds of 3D movies now... plus 3D didn't even really take off all that massively .

Oh and Snow White and the Hunstman isn't a Disney film, it's not a remake of the animation. Hunchback will probably be delayed or cancelled all together now, I expect. It was never a huge success for Disney despite how good it was and now Notre Dame is out of commission for at least a few years, I can't see them forging ahead with it. I can't imagine they'd touch Pocahontas again, it's too much of a powder keg these days. |
