Plus getting the rest of the Star Wars rights wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks very much, Michael.
Seem to be a lot of contradictory reports on the 'net today.

It makes sense that Disney is more interested in Fox's overall content rather than just the X-Men and FF. Marvel Studios is doing just fine turning obscure characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy into hits. And I would go so far as to say characters like Iron Man and Captain America were considered obscure and unappealing before the success of their respective movies.
But yeah, Marvel Studios will have an even brighter future with the X-Men and FF in their control. Not even their "magic touch" can do much with characters like Morbius the Living Vampire.

It would be hard to market a film that every wit and wag out there in commentary land would pronounce "More B.S. from Marvel Studios."

Guys, worrying about stuff like this is part of what destroyed comics. Why do you need to know? Why do you even care?

You're right. When you put it that way, you're right!
It's funny but I learnt of some behind-the-scenes woes pertaining to DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE recently. Some of it is horrible and very negative. But it didn't stop me, as a subscriber, enjoying the issues as they were published in 2017.
I guess I enjoyed SUPERMAN THE MOVIE without knowing of the issues between the Salkinds and Donner.

I wouldn't say "care" is the right word. More like I'm interested. The behind the scenes business stuff absolutely translates into what is seen on the screen, or the page. It doesn't change how I feel about the finished product. But it is fun to read about.

I find myself asking those questions more often... and I'm starting to enjoy life more and more because I know the answers are always the same: -I don't need to know (it's nice to find out some information that can enrich something you like -like most of your anecdotes JB-) -I don't really care (it's more like I pretended to care about something that has no relevance for my life or the enjoyment of a comic, a movie, a cartoon or a TV show)

I no longer read comics; haven't in years, but I still have a soft spot for the superhero genre. The Disney-Marvel movies give me a two-hour slice of fun and nostalgia that I don't get from the Fox-Marvel movies. I would like to see a Fantastic Four movie that offers the fun and nostalgia that I receive from the Disney-produced Marvel movies. I believe the only way I will get that is if the movie is produced by Disney. Therefore, I hope that Disney gains control of the Fantastic Four film rights.
