If this is true, which I doubt, I don't believe that Fox would give Disney back the full rights to the F4, if they don't have the full exclusive rights to the TV rights.
This most likely a shared partnership, so that Fox is still involved, or at least can make money off of any appearances the F4 and FF make, like Universal does with Hulk, at the very least.

My dreams of the Illuminati in the MCU are so much closer to being true now.
You know, assuming this is true.

Why? I don't want the X-Men in the hands of Disney. Also, the X-Men wouldn't make sense in the MCU, and there wouldn't be a movie until AT LEAST 2020.

I'll believe it when I see it. Right now 2020 seems too early for another reboot especially after how badly the last one bombed. Incredible Hulk still got hurt by the lingering toxicity of Ang Lee's Hulk and even Feige admitted that the reason we haven't gotten Punisher and Ghost Rider reboots yet is because of the bad reputations those franchises garnered under other studios.
Marvel has TV rights to both, I thought, they just haven't been using them. Wolverine, Sabretooth, some Sentinels and the Juggernaut showed up in the Ultimate Spider-Man show a few times. It's just been rumored that Marvel has been trying not to use the X-Men too heavily because they want to pimp their own MCU stuff. Originally Posted by WeaponX

As much as I want this to be true, I'm not going to hold my breath until we get actual confirmation. But, for fun, I've speculated a little bit about what may have happened.
Early on in 2015, Fox mentions they have a desire to do an X-Men TV Series. July, Marvel releases Ant-Man to great success. August, Fox releases Fantastic Four, which should have been bigger than Ant-Man, and it bombs. Shortly after, at the TCAs, Fox announces they are pursuing an X-Men TV Series, but have to work it out with Marvel. Hmm... In September it is announced Marvel Studios have been moved out from under the Marvel umbrella, and report directly to Disney's CEO. Could it be that Feige was willing to pay Fox a good amount of money as part of their deal, but Perlmutter refused to let him pay that kind of money. So Feige gets out, gets the deal approved, and they move forward. As part of the deal, Marvel Television will coproduce alongside Fox. The deal gets finalized, so Marvel Studios cleans house and announces some new release dates. Fox and Marvel announce their two new television series. Now we may just have to wait for an announcement about the Fantastic Four. If true, it could be possible a time limit was put into place for how long Marvel needs to wait before announcing, so not to take focus away from the TV announcements.

No, I agree with that. That's not what I meant. Originally Posted by HeWhoSlapsAll

I repeat also - rumour is the operative word in all this.

I can understand part of this, but I imagine that Perlmutter would have had to agree to any changes in TV rights. Originally Posted by Zorkel567

I can't wait for everyone to get over excited for Doom within the MCU only for it to be Business suit doom.

Man, I really, really hope this is true... But more than anything, I think I want an FF NETFLIX-SERIES than a movie. It worked for Daredevil, so I think it could work for FF as well. Somehow, it feels as if there isn't the same kind of stigma then, than as to a movie.
I really hope they go the Hulk-route btw... I can't stand yet another origin-story. It's absolutely annoying when you've seen it several times already. WE KNOW! Ok? You don't have to tell us the same story, again and again and again...
I believe this is actually correct, since I'm pretty sure Marvel Television and Jeph Loeb is still operating under Perlmutter's yoke. Originally Posted by Lot 49

We'll wait for an official announcement. I suspect it's not as simple as all that. It may be a "sharing" deal like with Columbia/Sony, or the property may still be locked solid at Fox. We'll see.
I personally hope for an outright purchase by Disney of the Fantastic Four rights, to clear up any lingering issues once and for all.
And yes, I hope for a Thing/Hulk battle, as well as She-Hulk and Black Panther joining the team.
Also, I hope that the next version of Reed (and Ben) is a 616 style version (but I'm not hung up on graying temples) vs. the "Ultimate" version-- and of course, the Ultimate version became a villain. No thanks.

You realise that this MARVEL Studios right? Their track record with villains isn't that great... Probably another lame portrayal. Originally Posted by Project Initiative Cascada

Lol, MCU and terrifying villain we all deserve is quite the oxymoron. Originally Posted by Project Initiative Cascada
