FWIW Sports networks was the key issue with DOJ too on the merger. If combined they control 73% of the market and almost 80% for cheaper subscription packages (link below) then it’s DIS problem not to have addressed it sooner only to think that it can get away with it in a country where sports viewership is rather a big deal (which it did get away with COFECE but it’s raising questions with IFT).

I say for solo Deadpool films keep him fluid since he's so meta, but for any cameo he has in anyone else's movie then constrain him to continuity and don't have his references be so overtly meta.

Yeah, exactly how I want to see him handled.

I dont get it? COFECE already approved it. And IFT is supposed to decide in the next few days if they will approve it. But from what I can see its exactly as you described. IFT is supposedly challenging COFECE's approval.

That damn Covfefe!! Who knows what it's on about??

@Zyraquis Disney ceo Bob Iger said in a recent press call that only a few remaining market remain but you recently gave a list that suggests more than a few remaining markets. So basically it would mean Brazil, Mexico (IFT), and Chile are the ones left. Is their anymore or those are the few remaining markets? Also beside Brazil and Mexico, are any of the other remaining markets expressing concerns?

The UK is unknown if they already approved or not. Or if the EU approval covers them. Its possible they approved it last year when they approved Murdochs bid on Sky.

Until the UK have actually left the EU, then I'd take it that everything the EU did covered us.

Are you implying hes done with Star-Lord? Because he is not.

 

[Dark Raven]

When Chris Pratt signed onto Jurassic World, he was indicating he was done with Star Lord.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

He just said the other day he's doing GOTG3.

I would assume that if the remaining are needed they are only formalities probably for film distribution not the sticky PayTV or have quietly approved it without announcing. The agreement I saw didn’t say any specific market (many merger agreements do) only that no government should pose restriction (ie opposed to it) so it depends on which markets DIS submits for approval.

I have not heard any other markets raised concerns so I would assume only hurdles are Brazil and Mexico. I doubt in any other foreign tv markets DIS (orESPN) and FOX have such a strong presence.

If this is true, get ready for a huge Wolverine focus

The idea of Sam Worthington playing Logan is hilariously awful. Bring it!

I dont think its getting approved this month. I could be wrong but I think we're just gonna have to wait till March 18th. And hope they dont extend their review another 3 months. Im hoping that with the rumour of Disney opening a new park in Brazil means we're heading for approval next month. So fingers crossed.

You know I could see him as Sabertooth but certainly not Wolverine.

 

[SumT]

yeah, he doesnt have the look or Id say attitude to play such character.
come on.... with all the great tv shows out there... there must be one actor that has all the right elements for a faitful Wolverine (not that I care too much about him, but still....)

I’d like to see everyone back. It’s an ensemble film at this point.

 

[Raiden]

Although I like AMATW, I don't love it as much as the first Ant Man movie and I do think Feige should consider hiring another director instead of Reed to direct #3. I think the movie may have gotten slammed because it followed Infinity War, but the overall feeling from me is that the script was half baked and the third act was rather anti-climatic, and they could have done more even if they had to skip around IW. I want a director who has fresh ideas and can be a little more ambitious than Reed for the third film of the trilogy.

 

[Xeno]

Worthington is a terrible actor. He was a big ol' plank of wood in Clash & Smash of the Titans, and even more inanimate in Blucahontas. The only MCU role I could see him in is Wonder Man, but only as the comatose-presumed-dead-body-in-a-glass-coffin Simon was for twenty years in the comics. As soon as Wonder Man got resurrected, Marvel would have to recast the role with a living actor.

 

[Iceman]

What has he been doing all this time since the push to make him big about a decade ago?
