Days Of Future Present was an X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover. Maybe they want to do that after Days Of Future Past.

If anything I think they need to make an X-Men universe. Don't just deal with the X-Men and the school but the various other teams like X-Factor, X-Force and stuff like that.

I agree with you that the Fantastic Four work better in the Avengers universe, but Fox is just trying to make lemons into lemonade. But, yes, the teams really don't work well together despite a few good crossovers.

@poisonfleur: I don't think this panel would go across well in a movie. Brings up a lot of issues that can easily be ignored in the fan community of a comic. (ie: "I have good hair. It's not a weave." - just doesn't go over that well when you imagine this being used in a movie)

Interesting, I hope they do more sci-fi and high end stuff

none of that overused street-level crap please

What's Batman doing in there?

Kind of a waste, they'd turned Juggernaut and Phoenix into straight up mutantpowers, I'd feel Last Stand was even more of a sabotage if they were gonna introduce all manner of supernatural beings now.

Fantastic Four and X-men have done cross-overs in the past. Besides Once upon a time the Fantastic Four used to be the 'Avengers' of their day.

It's not the best idea I have ever heard..

But with the right creative direction-- this could work. (I would have preferred Elektra to be unearthed instead)

Beat and Reed working on a device to stop Galactic.

Storm and Sue-- are friends.

Iceman meets the Human torch in movie.

The thing makes any moment comical.

@cattlebattle: News Corporation is rich, but they're still not as rich as Disney, that aside in a hostile take over of a company Disney would only need to secure more then 25% of the company to be considered it's parent company.

That's why I was saying they should buy the whole studio. Disney's got so much money they could literally buy out Sony Entertainment and Fox Studios if they wanted to, and I mean the whole company not just the movie rights. Then they can't really refused when Disney is their new boss.

@Teerack: Hmm. Yeah! How come Disney hasn't done it yet?! Really the only other companies that can compete with them are Warner Brothers and Universal. Reason I say that is because I'm pretty sure they could stave off any attempts at being bought out. A lot more than I can say for Fox and Sony.

Eh. Don't really care, as I was probably going to watch the movies anyway. Still, I'd like to see them explain why someone like the Thing or Human Torch could be rock stars and Beast or Iceman can't be.

@Teerack: It's something about Fox not WILLING to sell since superheroes are the big thing now. If Disney is willing to buy it back for the billions of dollars Fox knows they can make over the next few years with their X-Men and Fantastic Four films, then they'd sell them. However I doubt Disney would be willing to play hard ball and risk losing a lot of money on it. I just wish they'd get the rights back to Fantastic Four. They've already managed to get Daredevil back, so all they need is F4 and Spider-Man. At least Sony is willing to be reasonable and allow their new Spider-Man to be referenced and possibly appear in Marvel's movies. It's small, but it's a start.

I kinda wish Disney would just buy all of fox studios and get all their movie rights back. I mean they can afford it easily.

I mean it's kind of funny though because FF was about to reboot and X-Men claims to have a universe but it's such a mess they really don't.

This is another disaster waiting to happen. They are just gonna cause audiences to avoid Xmen and FF movies altogether. Marvel/Disney needs to step in and end the horror.

See I don't think they work in the Marvel Universe either, people know who both Storm and Thor are...they both have the same weather powers and yet...people will still throw rocks at Storm for pretty much no reason other than the Marvel Universe law says so. Thor could be considered just as dangerous as she could be.

Thor is even MORE dangerous. He's got Superman-level strength and a number of other powers besides weather control

Exactly. If there was one thing I adored about the original X-Men trilogy, even if X2 was the only one I REALLY liked, was that mutants are the soul superpowered beings in that universe. It makes SENSE for people to be afraid of them, to treat them with distrust, and yes even hate them.

In the Marvel universe it doesn't work for one reason. The idea of mutants overtaking the normal human populace and I can see them being hated in THAT respect, but with so many costumed superheroes with secret identities how do people KNOW who's a mutant and who isn't? Mutants CAN work in the Marvel universe, but their original idea of being a minority that's hated and feared doesn't work anymore since not many people care anymore. Not saying there isn't racism or bigotry anymore, but it's nothing to level it was in the 60's when the X-Men were created.

For the Fantastic Four to exist in this new universe Fox intends to create it creates an INVERSE of the X-Men's problem in the Marvel universe. Being loved and cheered, instead of feared and hated with the mutants

Its just an idea being forced from the higher ups because of the money Avengers made......Its not a good idea at all and really doesn't help either franchise.

It would have been better if they did this with avengers and x-men, that would be much better.
