Rumours have been flying round today that after the terrible failure of the recent Fantastic Four reboot film, Fox have traded the rights to Fantastic Four films with Marvel Studios in exchange for the rights to make two X-Men TV series, Hellfire and Legion. If this is true, it could mean that one of the three 2020 MCU films could possibly be a Fantastic Four film. I would have no issues with this being the case; having the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four together in one film franchise would be amazing and the only thing missing that would keep it from being the ultimate Marvel experience (although, let's be honest, it pretty much already is) would be the X-Men, though I don't think Marvel Studios don't need to interfere with that since Fox are doing fine with those. This FF deal would also include the Silver Surfer, Galactus and Doctor Doom, which would all do great as MCU villains. Maybe they could have an actual Galactus, instead of a stupid freakin' cloud this time... Anyway, again these are only rumours from a source that hasn't really been named so take this with a grain of salt.

It just bewilders me how they could
have looked at this and thought: "Okay, what should
we make this guy look like in the movie? We
need to make it awesome. Hmm... ah, of course!
An ominous cloud!" |
Update: Fox have denied these rumours and said that they're 'completely untrue', and Marvel have also denied them. I guess that means that the FF rights are still owned by Fox, at least for now. I wouldn't be surprised if a deal lie this does happen in the near future, though; it happened with Spider-Man when Sony and Marvel made a deal, and The Amazing Spider-Man series was doing much, much better than the new FF. Seriously, Fox. You need this.
