oh i don't think it's important in the slightest. but if that were a concern for someone, then it's easily dismissed by that fact.
People need to realize, if this movie bombs and the rights go back to Marvel, you still wouldn't see a Marvel F4 movie for years if ever. The property would probably be considered toxic.
let's do our best to make sure that doesn't happen then.
Batman was considered toxic after Batman & Robin. The truth is, audiences are so fickle and forgetful, that after a few years you could revive any failed property with enough effort. Time heals all wounds in the end. I mean, look at Rise of the Silver Surfer, there's a pretty good chance the general public has mostly forgotten that.
Marvel has a bunch of other movie on their slate to make before they can focus on Ghost Rider. Besides, he can still appear in any of the Netflix shows or SHIELD. Just because they have the right, doesn't mean they have to automatically pump a character out. The reason being, they won't lose said character if they don't make a movie. All the studios licensing characters from Marvel still have contractual obligations. But you knew that.
Lol yeah besides we Just now got to Doc Strange so now they can toss in teaser for Ghost Rider, Blade, etc
I still need to see more before I decide to see the movie. It was a good teaser but not exciting, definitely not as good as the Avengers 2 teaser but intriguing nonetheless.
I hope the quality is up to the Marvel movies because Fox has been hit and miss with their superhero movies. That being said, not every superhero movie has to be made by Marvel and different perspectives on the genre is a good idea.
I like that they are taking a more serious tone than the original movies. I also like the fact that they are basing it off Ultimate FF which was excellent (at the beginning).
I can't say I care about a shared universe. Since Marvel became successful with it, Hollywood seems to be going crazy (I mean, I even heard about a shared Grindhouse universe, I mean, WTF?!). The X-men and FF movies can be good in their respective universes. There's no need for everything to crossover.

I tend to agree with you.
X-Men continuity was all over the place before DOFP, this new FF movie is a complete reboot sailing in new directions apparently...
I believe they were not developped with the idea of building a cohesive cinematic universe at all, only a desire to develop a successful franchise in each case...
I think it would be a diservice to try and create a shared universe between both franchises out of thin air, just to copy what Marvel has been doing for years now.
It would feel forced.
Now, had the X-Men been rebooted too for their next movie, or even for DOFP, it might have been an opportunity to develop a shared universe, yes.
Annihilus would have been a great foe indeed, especially given this movie will apparently be linked with the Negative Zone.
Personnally, I would have liked to see Namor in this movie but I reckon it might be too early for a reboot.
If there's a second one, it would be nice to have it ties with Atlantis.

Then you know very little of the Fantastic Four history. Marvel's current shared comic book universe started there, although Namor and the original Human Torch did that back in the golden age. X-men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Thor, Daredevil etc all made guest appearances in Stan and Jack's run. Most of the time, when a new hero was introduced they met the Fantastic Four at some point. Namor was brought in to revive that golden age character in FF#4. Black Panther debuted in FF #52 and now he will be in his own movie for Marvel Studios
I find it ironic that they in the movies, they are isolated from everything else that is Marvel modern age started there.
