UPDATE 12/24: It's official the 21st Century Fox Deal has gone through. More importantly though, according to the same show this came from in the first place, The John Campea Show, Bob Iger has confirmed not only will X-Men & Fantastic Four be joining the MCU, but Deadpool, the merc with the mouth, will remain rated R. This is awesome. Now what? How do we put them in? Fantastic Four doesn't reach to much, but how do you explain mutants in a world where there has been no mention at all? Do we reboot everything we've already seen? Ooh, what if it's a psychic mind wipe thing? Where something happened, & that's why no one knows about mutants? They could do anything here. I cant wait to see where this goes. Put your thoughts in the comments, like, & share.
John Campea just made a thrilling point. While we're all waiting for the results to the ongoing talks between 21st Century Fox & Disney over many television & movie assets, I didn't even think of this. Those assets will be selling to someone, & when they sell, the rights to Marvel properties won't go with that. According to his understanding of the licensing whether Disney or anyone else buys those, X-Men & Fantastic Four are coming home to Marvel. In fact, the only way to prevent this, is if Fox decides they don't want to sell at all. That's not how it's looking though. So hear we go, the heavy hitters are coming home. This is like when Jordan came out of retirement. Which leads to the elephant in the room. Which Jordan return do we get, 3 more rings or the other guy? Has the damage been done to these properties, or can Marvel Studios save them? It's possible. I think the X-Men has a bigger uphill battle than Fantastic Four. Mainly, since some of those are really good, almost perfect. Putting them up against higher standards than they'll have with Fantastic Four. Fantastic Four seems to be easier to explain & add into the Marvel universe as is, than a whole race of mutants will be as well. That's just my opinion though, & being an avid comic book reader, I can't wait to see how this pans out. What do y'all think? Are y'all excited for this homecoming?
