Will Marvel ever buy back the FF and the Xmen for future movies...

Will Marvel ever buy back the FF and the Xmen for future movies? If they're doing another Deadpool movie and possibly others it would make sense to buy back the rights to the main Xmen cast or at least Wolverine?

user, Marvel Studios doesn't do the Deadpool movies. He's part of the X-verse package owned by Fox.

The X-Men movies are still big money for FOX, especially after Logan and Deadpool did so well on smaller budgets.

Logan
Budget - 97 mil
Box office - 616 mil kek

Deadpool
Budget - 58 mil
Box Office - 783 mil

for the x-men/deadpool/fantastic four to be rpoduced by disney/marvel there would have to be like a decade of unprofitable movies for them to even consider

blame marvel for hacving to sell assets in the first place due to shitty business practices

i mean fox isn't making bad movies eithner

>implying marvel owns deadpool's film rights
>disney would do an r-rated movie

Homecoming being such a flop should prove there is no reason for Fox to worj with Marvel

>least Wolverine?

A. go fuck yourself casual
B. Why would they sell just wolverine to marvel?

Muties on the Avengers was a mistake. The Avengers should only get shitty mutants like Hank, not good ones like Rogue, Bobby, or Sam

"Rights back to Marvel now!"

Shut up and go away.

>fox isn't making bad movies eithner
they have 4 good movies 2 just ok and 4 bad movies

>Will Marvel ever buy back the FF

Nobody would buy those now. They're worthless. FOX ran them into the ground.

>and the Xmen for future movies?

The X-Men will revert automatically as soon as FOX misses a deadline. That's why they've gone to making tv shows - cheaper than movies, shorter production time, still counts towards keeping the rights. As the first (in the current series) X-Men movie was 17 years ago, FOX is about... 7 years over deadline, and that only gets extended if they have something filming, essentially. In reality it's a couple of years extra each time they release a movie - to try and give them legitimate time to produce a sequel - but as they've gone into extra time on the original run, they can no longer reboot the series and get another full decade of rights (which is what happened with Fantastic Four).


>If they're doing another Deadpool movie and possibly others

I don't know that the Deadpool movies even count towards the rights, because although he's an X-Men character (as far as movie rights go) and his movies feature mutants in the Marvel setting established by FOX, they aren't called things like X-Men: Deadpool. So, for want of establishing title rights, they may not actually count *at all* for rights, which, again, would explain the tv shows - wanting to get from release to release without the possibility of the rights reverting during that one week before filming begins when the clock has run down (active production - filming - temporarily stops the countdown).

But if D2 doesn't make crazy money and get great reviews like the first one, I don't see them trying for a third. That's Batman Returns syndrome.

>it would make sense to buy back the rights to the main Xmen cast or at least Wolverine?

No, no. Partly because they'll revert soon enough, partly brand recognition, partly because of:

Which was the last time FOX wasn't sure who they owned.

Disney used to produce Tarantino's movies (via Miramax) user.

What if Fox bought the avengers, spider-man, guardians etc?

>misses a deadline
Isn't it braindead cheap/easy to release a movie? I though hellraiser released a 'movie' that literally showed in one theatre and nowhere else just to renew the rights

>Muties on the Avengers was a mistake.

In 2024 or so there's finally going to be a Fox/Disney deal, at which time half the internet will be full of "wise old greybeards" who noddingly remember Bendis' New Avengers fondly and say things like:

"Now I can die peacefully, after seeing Spidey and Wolvie on the Avengers, the way it was always meant to be."

No, no. Start to finish you're talking years - from the point at which the idea comes to the point of release. Some take decades.

What you're talking about is an ashcan - a product made internally and given a basic release (usually one night, one showing, in a theater in the middle of nowhere, without any promotion, which the producers buy all the tickets to so the only people who'll see it are invited).

That's possible - it does technically satisfy the rights requirements - but after having made a dozen big-budget movies in the same franchise, it would be very easy to challenge in court as it would be clear the producers weren't seriously making a movie for release, and were thus trying to frustrate the contract.

The secondary problem for the studio is that a reboot doesn't just mean starting again with the whole rights period (which you can only do before the original rights period has run out - in the case of X-Men, that was years ago, so it's not an option). Rebooting means getting rid of all the cast. You're re-casting everyone, changing director and creatives all the way up, because that removes any possibility of doubt that you're rebooting honestly. Which is a big deal - since it extends your rights by a longer way - but also means you can't hire back the good ones (in the same roles, anyway), and you have to pay off everybody who had any movies left on their existing contracts with you (see play or pay). That's quite the expense.

Even a very cheap movie (outside of student films) costs on the order of seven or eight figures now. There's so many people involved you really can't do much for less.

TV is a lot cheaper - though not much less than a very cheap movie, so they're often indistinguishable. TV is the answer to the problem, therefore. For one thing, once its made you don't have to wait for the perfect weekend to release it, which is just part of the problem with movies.

FOX will be gone by 2024. When Rupert dies, his children/proteges will tear it apart. That's going to be a hell of a show.

FOX doesn't have the money. They'd have had the money when Disney acquired Marvel - and could have beaten them to the punch then - but were focused on trying to tear up and acquire Time Warner at that point. Now the moment is gone, as are relative bargains like Marvel and LucasFilm. Those will never, ever come on the market again in your lifetime.

I'm sure Disney wants Deadpool associated with their kid friendly movies. They love that kind of thing, that's why Tony is constantly struggling with alcoholism. Next they'll make an R-Rated Cars movie

We don't if any of the veteran Avenger get more movies but even without them they still have.

-Ant-Man
-The Guardians of the Galaxy
-Black Panther
-Bucky
-Vision
-Scarlet Witch
-Doctor Strange
-Wasp
-Captain Marvel
-Spider-Man

And possibly Namor in the future. Not all of them big enough for their own movies but enough to last until 2028. FF and X-Men are incredibly unnecessary and would bring way too much confusion. Especially X-Men. Mutants should've been established right form the start.

Fucking Avengers is the retard squad and should always be treated as such. A listers like the good xmen (fuck you hank) and spidy shouldn't be on the Avengers

Source on the rights for X Men being in overtime?
