First thing I thought as well.
If they are willing to purchase Lucas Films for 4B, why wouldn't they be willing to buy back the rest of Marvel?
Will they have revenue to BUY the Xmen and Fantastic Four from FOX????
this acquisition news just has my mind all OVER the place, forgive me if this question sounds stupid.
This is what I'm thinking. Why take a chance with Fantastic Four? What if Josh Trank does put it into production? Will Disney make a last minute offer? Star Wars has probably exhausted its supply, whereas Marvel has many more stories and is going through a golden age. Now would be the time to buy Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, but don't bother with X-Men.
I want Disney to buy FF. That could've kick started their cosmic side of Marvel. I don't know how Fox plan to release FF in 2015 now with the Avengers 2, Justice League and Star Wars 7. It would just get buried.
Disney playing this waiting game is too much like waiting for a last minute bid on eBay. They might get it but they might not. They should just use their buy-it-now function and purchase FF and be over and done with.
So was Disney's purchase of Lucas Films just to get the FF rights back from Fox? That seems an expensive way to do it?
Why would they want Fantastic Four?
As for X-Men, Fox can't afford to give it back.
