I really hope that the new ff and x-men movies tank so marvel can regain the rights, and finally release merchandise of those franchises.

Could Fox have the rights also because Kang is (potentially) a descendant of the Richards family in the comics?

I really hope that the new ff and x-men movies tank so marvel can regain the rights, and finally release merchandise of those franchises.

Marvel can release merchandise based on those 2 properties, they choose not too because Disney wrongly thinks that having merchandise based on the comics of those 2 properties will make more people go see the movies.

The only merchandise that Marvel can't release is that based on the movies.

Umm marvel has always kept the merch rights. They used to put everything under their own Toy Biz until they got a really good deal from Hasbro

Meaning this is possible

Unlikely the next X-Men bombs, considering how successful most of them have been. FF is still a question mark, though.

I've been enjoying the last few X-movies, so I'm fine with them staying at Fox for now, but FF I would love to see go back to Marvel.

Here's a thought. Why not do some actual journalism? Dig and dig and dig until someone flips some of the contracts. Just fueling the fan speculation isn't helping. At all.

It was said Namor's rights are at Marvel but clearly something is up since they seem to be sitting on the character and removed all mentions of him from Avengers Alliance. Didn't someone say there were still complications or legal issues involved in potential film appearances?

As for the merchandise thing, that's really not Fox's fault that the people in charge at Marvel are now throwing a childish temper tantrum over rights they signed away.

How does that work?

Could Fox have the rights also because Kang is (potentially) a descendant of the Richards family in the comics?

Because he is Rama-Tut who appears in an early issue of FF as stated in the article

Is it known how long Namor's rights will take to be back in Marvel's hands? I've been salivating over the thought of a Jung Jae Lee Namor movie.

Also, Monica Rambeau (it's a damn shame that none of her aliases have stuck ) may have debuted in ASM, but surely she'd be a Marvel Character.....? Right?
