Deal would mean Disney owning 20th Century Fox film studio, Sky (39%) and 50% of Endemol.
Fox News, Fox Sports and local Fox TV stations in US wouldn't be included because of US government anti-monopoly rules. Quote:

Most important part of this story:
Fox owns the rights to X-Men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool etc... so if Disney buy them out, any or all of these characters are available to the MCU . |

It could mean bad things for properties like Deadpool though unless they keep Fox around as another Touchstone to release the more adult orientated Superhero films.

That's a point I guess. I also have reservations about what will happen with the Netflix Marvel shows once Disney starts its own streaming thing... which I imagine is another big motivation for the purchase. I can see there being a fair bit of X-men etc. content on Disney's streaming services.

But I don't know what that means in terms of how the Netflix shows are made... like how they're actually filmed, who the actors are contracted to, etc. Which means there's a chance that, if they can't easily port the existing format over to their own streaming service, they'll just let the current Netflix shows end when the deal ends in a couple of years and concentrate on their own new shows. In terms of characters, I think there's a decent chance they would try to bring DD over as he's the best known of the bunch and also the most "traditionally superhero-y" of The Defenders... fits best with the rest of the MCU basically. I can see the other Defenders being left out in the cold . |

I imagine X-Men will get rebooted after Dark Phoenix to be apart of the MCU, as will Fantastic Four.

X-Men is ready to reboot tbh. It's kind of trash without Wolverine, and Jackman's Wolverine arc is complete IMO. Time for a proper modern-day reboot with a full new cast. I can even see them fudging the story a bit to make it so that Scarlet Witch is indeed Magneto's daughter and a mutant... like the twins were adopted out, and were infact (unknown to them) mutants already and their powers were only brought out by Hydra. In fact giving it thought - have they left the door open to that intentionally? The story about their house getting bombed and how they had to lie totally still next to a Stark Industries bomb that hadn't detonated. Possible "in" there by suggesting that Scarlet Witch was actually subconsciously using her powers to stop the bomb from detonating . ...sorry, I forgot for a second that this isn't a movies forum thread . |

I loved Logan but I don't think the X-universe suffers without his presence, I thought First Class was one of the best X-men films and he was only in it for one scene. With Dark Phoenix pretty much bridging the gap between the past and the start of the modern X-Men films, I can see them ending the old continuity and just going forth with a new X-team so they don't have to rely on the Inhumans any more. I think films like Deadpool and the New Mutants will just be slotted into the new continuity as they are. |

Worth pointing out that Disney have now acquired Endemol Shine, who created Big Brother UK

Rupert was on SkyNewsHD Business with Ian King
he is having 25% of Disney and is a good friend of the Disney CEO B.Igor. Last edited by arista; 14-12-2017 at 05:49 PM. |
