So I guess 20th Century Fox will be Touchstone 2.0?

I remember when people were crying about "Disney won't make gritty R rated films!!!111!!!" or "Adult Fox films are dead!!!". When others were saying from the beginning that it makes sense to use the Fox brand for those type of films and no way were Disney not going to do it. They are a business and it was silly to think that they would pass up viable franchises because they were rated R, especially when they get a brand new subsidiary to put those type films under.

This also gives more faith in the Deadpool sequels still being R rated.

Awesome news, confirming what I expected.

10 days to go for EU approval. Seems like a lot is happening behind the scenes and we could be due some exciting news in November.

 

[Dark Raven]

Instead of Movember, it should be Marvember.

 

[wobbly]

They ain't gonna rename the Fox studios?

Makes perfect sense to keep the studios intact but I'd have thought a rebrand might be in order?

 

[Crimz]

It would be a great birthday present to have everything over in November.

November 1st is the date speculated when Disney will complete its restructure of New Disney and New Fox. So by then theyll know who is staying who is going. And basically be all set to go pending China approval.

Morbius: Spider-Man Villain Spin-off With Jared Leto to Begin Filming Early 2019 - IGN

 

[Marvel united]

So Spider-Man is going to be in the Kraven spinoff according to the screen writer
Sony’s Kraven Movie May Include Spider-Man, Will Adapt Last Hunt Story

 

[Detective Conan]

Uh-oh...

 

[darthcoolness3]

Please Disney, buy out Sony, so we don't have to deal with their Spider Man spinoff movies

DOJ would never approve it.

 

[Dark Raven]

Just buy Spider-Man not Sony.

 

[Darkprime]

DOJ would never approve it.

sadly this is true. it would give disney more than 45% of the total box office. Buying Fox gives them 40% and is already raising eyebrows. At 45% the DOJ would have to step in as one entity not allowed to own more than 50% market share. They couldnt stop Disney buying just the spiderman rights tho. if Sony ever wanted to sell that would be fine but buying Sony would be a no no.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Sony would sadly never sell Spider-Man back.

 

[Marvel united]

So.... Will it be Holland? Or someone else?

probably someone else. my guess is he signed a non compete with Marvel. So even if Sony wanted to use him they couldnt.

 

[Detective Conan]

There’s a precedent for two different studios using two seperate versions of the same character they both have access to in their respective cinematic universes — look no further than the “the tale of Quicksilvers” where both Fox and Marvel could use Quicksilver if they followed specific conditions(MCU Quicksilver couldn’t be related to Magneto and be a Mutant while Fox Quicksilver couldn’t be an Avenger) so it wouldn’t be unheard of to have two cinematic versions of the same superhero existing concurrently with each other. If the comics have have two different versions of the same hero exist(i.e Ultimates Spider-Man had existed alongside 616 Spider-Man at one point in time) then why not try the same for the movies?

 

[Detective Conan]

Please do an MCU version of the Dark Reign storyline.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I usually never second guess what Marvel does but I think the only major mistake they made was not signing Michael Keaton up as Norman Osborn.

Like that would’ve been perfection.

That would have been amazing

There’s always Bryan Cranston who can play MCU Norman Osborn.

Maybe he'll be Uncle Ben, who died when the robber broke into his meth lab.
