Fans might finally get what they’ve been dreaming of for the longest time. According to CNBC, The Walt Disney Company is reportedly in talks to purchase most of 21st Century Fox. That means the X-Men might finally be part of the MCU.
The potential deal would exclude a number of Fox assets, like the Fox broadcast network, Fox News, Fox Business, and Fox Sports. It would, however, include the 20th Century Fox studio, which is home to Fantastic Four, X-Men, Deadpool, the Alien film franchise, Avatar and the original Star Wars film.
Of course, this deal would shake up the industry. Following the news, shares in 21st Century Fox already spiked on Monday. Of course, both Disney and Fox have yet to comment on the supposed deal.
what would that mean for the gifted?
Yes. Make it so!
Wait…doesn’t Fox still own the original rights to Episode 4?
Logan can finally have that dance off we all hav3 been waiting for
Yay a fluffy reboot
Not happening, talks are dead
Yes!
Who wants a G-Rated Deadpool movie?
Could an Avengers vs x-man movie be too much to ask for if this happens?

10 years too late. Deadpool Is the only property Fox has that has legs anymore.
no, not at all.
No. If Disney buys the rights to X-Men we will never be able to see movies like X-Men days of future past, Logan. All the X-Men movies would be comedy
Monopolies should not be celebrated. It will not be worth it in the long run.
Don’t get me wrong I’m going to see Spidey Deadpool opening night.
It’s probably gonna be the first thing that happens after such a deal ;d
Only upside I’m concerned with is maybe they’ll stop shitting on their properties in the comics
No no no
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Could this imply Firefly’s return as well?

Why am I the only person screaming about the possibility of Disney finally acquiring the licensing rights to the original star wars trilogy?!? We could finally get a Blu-ray of the unaltered version
Lol never happen click bait
Let’s hope if this does happen that they use the ORIGINAL 5 X-MEN FIRST!!!
So everyone moaned and bitches about Disney buying Lucas arts because they will ‘disneyfy’ everything but this is a good idea? Not for me. Keep them separate. You don’t have to follow tg3 source for everything.
Let’s hope it’s better then Utron and Ragnarock!
At least we had Logan and Deadpool before things went down the shitter.

BEST. NEWS. EVER.
I hope it doesn’t. While the X-men being under the Marvel umbrella would be cool. One company with way too much power over way too much content
I guess that’s good. The only good X-Men movies ever made was the first X-Men and Logan. The rest were overdone garbage. Lousy scripts and lousy dialogue. They finally got a clue and gave Wolverine an -R- rated movie. What a concept.
