I agree with you 100 percent!

Marvel sold Fox the rights. The only justifiable way Fox would give them back is if Marvel/Disney paid money to get the rights back. This is a business matter, not really a situation where Marvel can demand anything after cashing the check.

You can't blame Fox for holding on to rights they legitimately paid for. Also, I'm quite pleased with "First Class", and "Days of Future Past" for the most part (BTW you are aware that Marvel was involved with the production of the latter, right?).

I don't necessarily think that fans are holding the right company accountable here - it is Marvel that is at fault (if there is any fault to dole out here). They'd been trying for years to produce a "Fantastic Four" movie, produced a horrible version that was never released, and was happy to exchange the rights when Fox approached them. One of Marvel's big business $$$ generators is licensing, and they licensed some properties out before they figured out how to make cinematic versions work. Heck, Marvel first got into the business successfully with "Blade" which was made by New Line Cinema, so it's not even like this approach burned them all the time. They just had misfires with "X-3" and the "Fantastic Four" franchise.

Nope, just do Hulk vs Wolverine

@cgoodness: That kinda been done already.

I do too agree. Fox can't handle those characters like Marvel would. Fox's destroying those characters. Just because the did class and DOFP doesn't mean they did a good job. For one thing, Magneto never got the helmet from Sebastian Shaw and in DOFP was about wolverine and Shadowcat and not just Wolverine. I wasn't that impressed. AND Johnny Storm is Sue's brother.

I think it should. Don't you guys ever wonder how Apocalypse might play out?

I'm pretty sure that's their plan, though it maybe more of a "relaunch" if the newer guys stay on-board. If the younger guys stay I feel a more school oriented story would be involved, but the "New Mutants" movie may be their answer for a younger more "finding their way" type of story to occur in the school.

I don't think a reboot is necessary. If you really take a look at the franchise you would notice that they never really "rebooted".. It all kind of threads together in some sort of odd and interesting way. I think they should continue doing that...

I'd like to see this too. They should be teenagers and the tone should be lighter but still take itself seriously, much like the First Class comic book. They should still be their own universe though. At this point I can't see them fitting into the MCU.

Marvel didn't HAVE a studio at that point.

Fox has a 'use it or loose it' clause. The film was just so low budget that Avi Arad bought out the movie and canned it rather than let it be released, at the price of several million to avoid damaging the brand. So by then, Marvel had turned around and was back into the black.

I don't think Marvel even really cares who has them. Their primary concern is the toy money. (Fox would get a percentage from toy sales, a deal the other studios didn't make.) They would have liked the movies to 'play nice', where Captain America could show up in a Wolverine movie and Dr. Doom could be a villain in an Avengers movie. But, given the state of the Maximof Twins, I think that ship has sailed.
