The Rebooted "Keep Hope Alive" (that the rights can revert back to Marvel) Thread - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 24

[Saitou Hajime]

I'll see you guys on the 20th. I feel like it should officially be called "Marvel day".

Hall H vs El Capitan theatre?

 

[EnDz0n3]

A What If series would be cool. Will these actors reprise their roles though?

I just read that there's a possibility it's an Animated (non Live Action) series

 

[Web-Head]

The What If series will be animated and some of the cast will still voice their role. I bet Hiddleston will do it

 

[Darkprime]

I could see the what if series being part of Hiddlestons deal for the Disney+ series.

Wasn't Chile also one of the markets left? I guess they either already approved it silently or that market just wasn't as important as we thought.

Edit: Zyraquis: Do you know what happened with Chile? I guess its a rather moot point now that we finally have a confirmed closure date but I'm a bit curious.

Perhaps approved with condition to sell (as widely expected) but not online yet. If you check the decision/approval announcements on the website, the dates they were posted online are like 1-2 weeks after the official date-stamp on the actual announcements.

The one on top was posted here Últimas actuaciones | Fiscalía Nacional Económica was issued on 21 Feb according the the doc but was posted online on 5 March, for example. Thing is DIS won't give a closing date without all conditions precedent fulfilled, now it only matters for those who want to know what is up for sale in Chile from DIS.

I guess it's too expensive to do a live action What If sadly. They aren't going to recreate the Battle of New York or bits of Infinity War with alternate outcomes.

Disney+ is an instant buy for me

Same. Netflix + Disney+ seems like a good combo.

Script must be good if Feige is interested. Come on Feige make it happen.

Hawley never said that Feige was interested in his script. Feige asked if Hawley was still working on it, Hawley asked if he should be. Feige didn't answer. Hawley also said that he told Feige that he should read the script but that the Marvel president never got back to him on that. From that exchange, I would infer that Feige isn't much interested in Hawley's Doom, but of course, I could be wrong.

Business as usual. We're making a Silver Surfer movie too.

Will Disney Disrupt Fox's X-Men Movie Mega-Plans?

What a difference one year makes

If Dark Phoenix does in fact get a theatrical release I'm curious to see what Kinberg's dumb answer would be to the question on what the future holds for the X-Men franchise now that Disney will own Fox. By the time they start doing serious press to promote the film Disney will have full ownership of Fox so he can't pivot to the usual 'its business as usual until the deal is finished' excuse anymore.

 

[TheVileOne]

Business as usual is basically the corporate PR speak term after a merger or corporate acquisition. It's what they say on the face of it when the truth is it's not business as usual at all.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’m so programmed. The whole time I watched Carol Danvers in an aircraft all I could think of was waiting to see Rogue come and just grab her.

This acquisition couldn’t have come at a better time.

I'm hoping Kinberg somehow doesn't know about the Disney Fox deal and is living in a bubble.

 

[Zyraquis]

Depending on which country you are in Netflix can be a crappy deal just somewhat better than the local providers. I hope Disney+ could offer the same or nearly same content everywhere it would be attractive especially for those who move around a bit. I am so ready to jump ship.

 

[PsylockeBlackWidow]

Hey, @Zyraquis thanks for providing us info about the progress on the merger since your work at a place that deals with mergers. So basically the first place to approve the merger was Serbia and the last was Mexico.

 

[Darkprime]

Lol!!

 

[Dark Raven]

So no news since the last bit of news?

It's taking too long to close.

We got a close date of March 20th there's nothing else to it. One more week and it's done.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe we'll get Fox still announcing Gambit, Fant4stic 2 and the sequel to Dark Phoenix in the next week if it's business as usual.

Glad to contribute we finance guys are boring so this makes my work life a bit more interesting. Cheers.

 

[PsylockeBlackWidow]

Created my own countdown clock to the deal: Disney owning Fox

Sweet innocent Simon

I don’t think anyone has the heart to tell him

It really could go either way. Depends more if Marvel Studios has a general idea they'd rather pursue or not. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at the studio have/will read the treatments and outlines for Doom and Gambit at some point. In fact, I'm not sure if it's their job to review license films or if that work goes to someone outside of the studio's department. Chance are if they use anything from those scripts it'll be heavily changed by the time the films come out that very little of the original remains.

I'm willing to bet Feige found out about the deal closing same way we did. It's likely Marvel Studios is just now having actual serious meetings about when they should schedule the films, what directors and writers they should start talking to, and general direction for how they wish to handle these properties. I wouldn't expect any news till the summer and even then just a vague, far off date announcement.
