Better question: how has Fox been making all these X-Men movies when they do not actually have the film rights to the X-Men? Originally Posted by choptop

Had to make some edits and deletions this morning.
Let's dial down the personal commentary a notch, guys, and stick to the subject at hand.

But it's not/can't be, because the FACTS are: Originally Posted by choptop

Any assertion otherwise, is just categorically false.Last edited by Heroine Addict; 10-06-2018 at 10:48 AM.

That's not exactly true, either. Live action TV projects--like Gifted & Legion--HAD to be agreed upon, joint efforts, between Marvel AND FoX. Neither could do so, on their own. Not without a lawsuit, anyway. But that will soon change, with both companies sitting under one, House of Mouse roof, when the merger deal is complete & finalized.

The Gifted and Legion had to be agreed on because Fox wanted X-Men TV shows. If Marvel wanted to make an X-Men cartoon they wouldn't need to discuss anything with Fox. Wolverine appeared in Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes and Deadpool appeared on Ultimate Spider-Man. Originally Posted by Heroine Addict

Donner might owns The XMen, then signed a distribution deal with Fox.
Here the article from 2017:

Even when the Disney Fox merger is complete she could take it to any other studio like WB, Sony, Paramount, Universal etc? Originally Posted by Raiders

So you are basically saying that Fox has never made an X-Men movie. Originally Posted by Raiders

No she secured the rights for Fox with Avi Arad and Stan Lee here's a piece on her by Vanity Fair a better source than a Clickbait website. Originally Posted by frankyspaceout

Donner helped to lock down film rights for the characters. Film rights means distribution rights.
But she still owns the producing rightsLast edited by Raiders; 01-17-2019 at 09:12 PM.

Yes, but she won’t. She wants to work with Feige to bring the XMen and Averagers together. Originally Posted by frankyspaceout

Cartoons aren't live action, which is what was designated. I noted that Marvel retained rights to animation/cartoons in my original post, proof being: Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

They tried with something that was just similar, and in name only pretty much, back in the early 2000's. And then were subsequently sued by FoX:

I hope this clears things up for you. Also, for others, note that Lauren Shuler Donner is mentioned NOWHERE!... On April 15, 2001, 20th Century Fox sued Marvel, Tribune Entertainment, and Fireworks Entertainment for breach of their licensing agreement and false advertisement. Fox stated it had exclusive rights from Marvel to develop the X-Men property, and anything similar was an infringement. Fox claimed that Mutant X was too similar to X-Men, and Mutant X was being advertised as an "X-Men replacement."
Marvel countersued Fox, saying that the two were dissimilar and asking the courts to allow Mutant X production to go forward. Production was allowed, as long as X-Men material was not used in the promotion of Mutant X.
On March 9, 2003, Fox and Marvel resolved their differences in a confidential settlement of their suits. Meanwhile, Fox continued to pursue their case against Tribune and Fireworks. Tribune sued Marvel for fraud and breach of contract, claiming Marvel encouraged Tribune to connect Mutant X to the X-Men, misrepresented what they were getting in their license, and caused millions in losses due to the need to alter storylines and characters to ensure the mandated distance between Mutant X and X-Men, as well as fighting Fox's litigation. ...
