Disney Completes Acquisition of 21st Century Fox

rnThe X-Men universe and the specific characters associated with that cross-section of the comics (along with the very concept of u0022mutantsu0022) will be under Disney/Marvel control, allowing for many pairings and crossovers that could never be considered before. Would they be a good fit though given how crowded the MCU is currently? X-Men films have been able to exist on their own because theyu0027re already populated with dozens of characters. Note: This deal will also include the two TV shows Fox currently co-produces with Marvel: The Gifted and Legion.”,”height”:563,”width”:1000,”url”:”https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/12/12/ai9ukd8kownqkgih1m5p3dueemm-1513100542223.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2017/12/12/ai9ukd8kownqkgih1m5p3dueemm-1513100542223_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Fox Movie and TV Show Properties Headed to Disney”,”relativePosition”:”02″,”albumTotalCount”:18},{“caption”:”DEADPOOL

rnAfter two franchise attempts, Fantastic Four *may* be headed back to Marvel via Disneyu0027s buyout. Folks are still unsure though since FF is currently only co-owned by Fox.
