    Default Now that Disney owns Fox, do you think Marvel will make comics about Fox stuff

    Now that Disney owns Fox, do you think Marvel will make comics about Fox related franchises like Alien, Predator, Planet of the Apes, Die Hard, Avatar, X-Files, etc? Would you like to see Marvel tackle those franchises?

    Can't wait for Ripley and John McClane to get two solo books each and join the Avengers with a book named after them within 6 months of debuting.

    Honestly, I doubt it, because other than Star Wars and Conan, Marvel just don't do licensed stuff any more. Disney do have dealings with Dark Horse, and after they lost Conan and Star Wars, losing more stuff could kill them off. Disney would be wise to let them continue with the stuff they currently publish instead of taking more stuff off them.

    IDW, on the other hand, who do some of Disney's all-ages stuff, could be given The Simpsons, whose comic folded last year (publisher Bongo now only sells back issues).

    They might tackle Avatar but I dread the day a Marvel writer gets Predator. It may be good, it may be bad, but I'm still wary.

    Alien would make the canon debate even more bloated and pedantic.

    Doubt it. All ages Star Wars and Marvel all ages super heroes is published by another publisher (IDW I think) so I think they'll go that route.

    The way things are going with IDW I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel bought them. IDW
    is looking for a buyer. https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/03/05/...company-384541

    Dear God, I hope NOT. We've already got the Star Wars, and now Conan, books grabbing up all the name artists.
    Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?

    In a time when ideas had ONE book, that wasn't a problem. But with Star Wars and Conan, to an extent, using multiple titles, this is a real issue.

    I'd love to see a Marvel Planet of the Apes series updated for the 21st century, but having multiple books personally scares me off.
