Disney in talks to buy Fox: X-Men Homecoming? - Part 3

[Chip Chipperson]

I want everyone in the MCU

 

[SAUspartan]

I feel terrible for Josh Boone and the entire New Mutants Cast and Crew!

They deserved to see the trilogy come to fruition. Now it’s likely one and done. Just one of the many reasons this Fox/Disney move is terrible.

I’d loved to be proven wrong about this. And the fact we won’t get a Hard R-Rated X23 film. I’d happily eat crow.

The question is, what does the MCU look like after Infinity War and Avengers 4?

Eh. Another reason to be negative about this merger?

When did you become such a Disney fan? There's literally dozens of reasons to question this if you're at all interested in the film industry and everything that surrounds it. Disney is sketchy as hell, and they just got a lot more powerful.

welcome back!

 

[MahvelBaby!]

By "it" do you mean scripts, movies and BO returns?

No I mean killing it dead...

 

[MahvelBaby!]

you don't have to like the merger, but tough because it happened...soooooooooooo....get over it?

The thing people are missing is, FOX was selling these assets ANYWAY. It was either Disney or Comcast (aka the guys who own Unversal). So no matter what, one of the other big 6 was gaining this power.

 

[psylockolussus]

Nah, I want New Mutants with the X-men. There's potential overlap there. Im fine with Deadpool being seperate bc he's not really an X-man and Im not a fan of him being lumped in with them, especially in recent years

Yeah I don't want the New Mutants to be separated from the X-Men. They should X-ist in the same continuity/universe.

I dont think people are missing that. Those that are against this dont want an MCU X-men. Fox being acquired by the other studios means the likely hood of the Xmen universe continuing is high whereas now its almost certainly over

 

[DACrowe]

Continuity? That'll be an X-Men first

Continuity is good, but this better not kill individual X-Men stories.

I'd prepare thyself for it all going away.

EXACTLY!!!

And who knows what the hell Universal would do with X-Men

CORRECT.

The writing all over the wall is that major consolidation in Hollywood was a foregone conclusion. It was going to happen no matter what. The threat to the studios isn't each other. It's the tech industry.

More on the R-Rated films potential.

[DACrowe]

Yes! Movies aren't just comic book fodder. Fox Searchlight puts out some really fantastic films and if we lost those sorts of movies in this merger it will be a genuine tragedy. Pop your head out of the Marvel bubble for half a second.

Does no good to talk about what is lost at Fox Searchlight. But it is a tragedy since they produced two of my favorite movies of the year: Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri. I have a hard time seeing Disney producing those films, even with Fox as their adult label, for more than a few years before losing interest in how little money they make.

I think people are making incorporating X-Men much harder than it has to be. Occam's Razor, guys. Mutants have existed the whole time, it just wasn't something the public new until now. Much easier.

I was thinking of how to introduce existing characters. The X-Men will of course all be recast, but I hope they'll keep Reynolds as Deadpool around. But how would you introduce him into the MCU, without retconning his two Movies? Well, it IS Deadpool, so I guess you could always throw in a 4th wall joke, how his background has been changed around.

Deadpool has a loose relationship with continuity, LOL! Plus, Bob now could have been in Hydra, Deadpool can fight Taskmaster in a sequel, and even in Deadpool one, he fought Ajax on what looked a lot like a helicarrier. I see this working no problem

I am not a Disney fan but I believe they are the best major studio to acquire Fox and the Murdoch seemed to think so, as they agreed to sell theircompany to them and even approached Fox in the first place.

And I don't care about ethics, if they are bullying theaters, then someone should man up and sue them or do something, but I don't really care about that side of the entertainment business. X-Men and Fantastic Four and the other Fox franchises would prosper more under Disney, than Comcast and, Sony which is the most Xciting part of this deal!

I think that's even harder than it has to be. Mutants are new, so mutants are new. It can't get any simpler than that.

Spider-man was introduced to be fully immersed in the universe. The natural way to do this would be to have Storm in Black Panther 2. Then put Scarlet Witch in the first X Men of the MCU. Any other ideas?

I think that's a bit much. Introduce Xavier in Avengers as someone covering his tracks using telepathy, and walking around, maybe partnered with Magneto. Let the X-Men film introduce the X-Men, though including Scarlet Witch would be pretty doggone cool. If there's other cameos of pre-power manifestations that work, such as BP meeting Storm or Bobby Drake going to school with Peter Parker, cool, but no need to push for anyone but Charles.

 

[Boom]

We are about to see major changes to the movie landscape here in a few years. Almost makes one wonder if movie theaters will go the way of drive-ins.

Oh yeah, Deapool could fit really nice into the MCU. But I guess continuity wise, the films would have to be set a good number of years after the current MCU, once Mutants have been introduced, the X-Men were formed, and he was experimented on with Wolverine's DNA.

Stranded at the drive-in... branded a fool... what will they say?

 

[Galactus123]

I hope they get Hugh Jackman back. They just need a good script and offer a lot of money. They need to use the costume:

 

[Iceman]

Just thinking back to 2008, when it all started with Iron Man. Who would have though, that <10 years later the groundwork would be laid for the Marvel Universe to be whole in the MCU.

Just wow.

I mean Iron man could have been a $120m dom $300m WW grosser with 60% RT and just mild overall interest. Even without being bad this project may have never got off the ground and would be done after a couple of sequels. What's happened has gone so far past anyone's expectations and within a decade we're building up to an Avengers 3 and 4 bringing together all the main and many of the supporting characters introduced over nearly 20 films and with even more promise of post Phase 3 blowing up with all these rights for huge properties returning.
