Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

I don't believe the Marvel license rights of the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters are transferable to any other studio without the written approval by Marvel/Disney. Licensing agreements are very specific about the transfer or assignment of intellectual properties. So, if any company aside from Disney purchases Fox's studio they would not have the rights to Marvel intellectual properties.

Neither Disney or Fox have confirmed the CNBC report about the dead deal or even that talks have taken place.

However, over the course of the last year or so, there have been evidence of the ice melting of the Cold War between the two studios as they collaborated on the TV side of things with Legion and The Gifted. And that deal where Fox traded the rights to Ego for permission to modify Negasonic Teenage Warhead's mutant powers for the Deadpool film. Moreover, many believe when Marvel gave Fox the approval for Legion and The Gifted, Marvel got something back in return, which many speculate it being the rights to the Fantastic Four.

I believe after Avengers 4 there will be major announcements about the future of the MCU. Hopefully sooner, but Kevin Feige has gone on record that revealing the future of the MCU would spoil the upcoming Avengers 4 film.

On another note, when Disney has acquired a company there haven't been huge noticeable changes right off the bat. I mean, Marvel Studios hasn't changed any of it's plans and the Star Wars franchise is thriving and it probably better than we it was just Lucasfilm. If Disney were to acquire Fox studio, Disney could leave it as status quo.

 

She should simply play the Marvel Selene.

I don't think it's a good thing for the X-Men franchise, Disney would not make something like the Logan movie. Fantastic Four could get a huge boost though.

 

Fox has had a real good run recently with Deadpool, Logan and Legion so it'd be a shame to cut it off once they seem to be picking up steam again by doing stuff that's really unique. Disney isn't in the R-rated content game anymore.

 

Ryan Reynolds tweeted his reaction to the Disney/Fox deal by saying:

Perhaps a harbinger what Deadpool would sound like under the Mouse's House. And to be honest, Deadpool doesn't actually swear in most of the comic books he appears in.

 

I'd just let Marvel by FF back.

 

Interesting article, The Marvel Universe's Heroes are Basically Movie Stars with Superpowers

 

Anyway, Inhumans just beat Thor to the punch (finale spoilers for both and how to connect the two in the MCU herein)

Spoiler

Thor Ragnrok ends with Thor gathering his folk off Asgard into space presumably to find a new home. Inhumans just did the same thing except took it futher. Even said that Atlian was it's people and not the place, which was the same thing in Thor: Ragnarok. But Inhumans ends with them already settled on Earth. Which is reallllly likely to how Asgard is going to end up.

It's interesting that Inhumans has the same ending as Thor 3 barely a week after it's been in theatres and while the divide between the TV and movie sides is apparently rather wide, it's odd how both stumbled into the same basic ending. Maybe it's just a fluke or maybe the Marvel TV folks knew the Thor 3 ending and decided to do the same thing cuz the TV folk do still gets heads up on the movie development. But I'm going with fluke. Odd, though.

Now, due to lack of critical and commercial reception, we probably won't see how the Inhumans end up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so, of note, their final settling place looked like it was surrounded by a giant fence. So let's just No Prize that General Ross came in, saw all of these superpowered folks in one place and ordered a carpet bombing. Or they're already all under Ross or S.H.I.E.L.D. containment. And they muzzled Black Bolt, I guess. But he was wearing his cape in the final scene so that makes it all okay.

 

I've watched every episode of the unremarkable and irredeemable Inhumans and I don't recall any connections to the MCU proper or even Agents of SHIELD. Which may be proven to be a good thing.

And speaking of Marvel branches connecting, I saw this pic and said to myself, "Oh yeah, Thor hasn't met these guys."

 

The MCU's version:

 

The connection to AOS has to do with the references to the Terrigen Crystals having ruptured and polluted the oceans, causing mass Inhuman conversions and that they're the descendants of the ones who stayed behind. So it is there. It just wasn't as overt as what AOS and AC did.

 

It's seems such as shame that this connection wasn't more exploited, especially in the light that of the speculation that Inhumans would be the MCU's version of mutants and the Royal Family serving as the X-Men. I mean, Inhumans could have been something like The Gifted.

 

Is that AIDA in the "alcoholic bros" part?

 

Tony Stark, Jessica Jones, Valkyrie

 

EDIT: Nevermind

 

Because of the story line and elements covered in Agents of SHIELD, such as "The Index," Watchdogs, Terrigen Crystals polluting the oceans and emergence of Nu-Inhumans, I really thought all of that would cause the Royal Family to come out of hiding and announce themselves to world and declare themselves as protectors of the Inhuman race with the desire of living peacefully with humans, much like the X-Men does with mutants. I mean, the Nu-Inhumans were set up to be the mutants of the MCU, with Black Bolt and Medusa taking on the roles of Cyclops and Emma Frost. The MCU proper worked towards the crossover of their characters, and I thought the TV side of things was working to the same thing; to have Daisy/Quake and the Agents of SHIELD meet up and fight along side of the Inhuman Royal Family. The CW/DCTV has done this will their characters/TV shows, so it seemed like the natural thing for ABC/MarvelTV to do the same.

 

Last I checked, weren't the Inhumans supposed to guest star this season? If so, they can wrap a lot of that off.

 

I doubt it now that the Inhumans are on earth and the Agents are in space.

 

They're not going to be out there forever.

 

Well, if ABC/Disney wants to salvage the Inhumans, that would be a way to start. But, the poor ratings for Inhumans, it's very doubtful that IMax will contribute funding for another season and it's probably doubtful that ABC will do it on their own.

 

IMAX has already said that they're going to be more careful for future projects.
