Shawnismaximus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I wonder what this means for Super-hero shows and movies Fox already has in the works. Legion, for example, is AMAZING and I think season 2 is set to come out in February. But I could see Marvel stopping a season 3 from happening so they can execute their own vision for the character and incorporate him into the marvel-verse (whether that be on the silver screen, or in some sort of X-men or New Mutants TV series). Which would be a shame because it's honestly so good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're about to go from the "Big 6" to the "Big 5". Plus Cable channel concentration (Acquiring Nat Geo, FX and its family of channels). Not to mention international approval (Disney will acquire 39% of Sky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see a FF easter egg at the end of avengers infinity war - like a quick scene of stretcho working in the lab to find a way to stop Thanos while the thing is razzing him about it then the camera pans out to shot of the FF logo on top of the Stark building! Time will tell but I believe these properties are in good hands now. Edited December 14, 2017 by mar-vell Senormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don't need another movie anytime soon, but do you think this may open up Marvel to once again produce Marvel's flagship title on a monthly basis again? I hope so.
