“Fantastic Four” Movie Rights Are Back With Disney/Marvel; Deal Includes “Dr. Doom”, “Silver Surfer” & “Galactus”; New Film In 2020
Although this has not been officially announced by FOX, Marvel or Disney it does seem that this could be a great day, make that a FANTASTIC day! After years of being at FOX, the first family of comics is finally coming home to Marvel! According to Den Of Geek, Marvel has made a deal with Fox to secure the rights of the “Fantastic Four” movie franchise. The deal would include classic characters such as “Dr. Doom”, “Silver Surfer” and “Galactus”. The first movie is expected to come out in 2020. What definitely was instrumental to the return of the “Fantastic Four” from Marvel was the disastrous box office return from the recent “Fantastic Four” reboot that Fox released this summer in theaters. Also Fox was looking to bring the “X-Men” to TV but they needed Marvel to sign off on the deal and that deal seems to be going through too. It appears that is now part of the deal and Fox will be bringing the “X-Men” series, “Hellfire” and “Legion” to television.
From Den Of Geek:
According to our source, Fox were given the TV rights for X-Men in exchange for Fantastic Four. The deal’s been in the works for some time we’re told. Further, the timing of Marvel’s recent announcement of its movie slate leading up to the year 2020 and the X-Men TV series is no coincidence.
Again, still no official confirmation from the studios involved but it appears that all of the peaces are fitting together.
- The Fantastic Four reboot was universally panned by most critics and movie goers.
- FOX announced a few months ago that they want to bring the “X-Men” to television in some form but cant do it with out Marvel’s authorization.
- Marvel announced recently at the New York Comic Con, that they are adding 3 unnamed Marvel movies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe slate in 2020.

Spider-Man Meet & Greet Moving in at Super Hero Headquarters, Captain America Leaves Disneyland
Innoventions at Disneyland is currently being converted into the Tomorrowland Expo Center, home to Super Hero HQ and Star Wars Launch Bay, which will open on November 16th. When it does open, guests will be able to meet the one and only Spider-Man!
Spider-Man can already be seen at Walt Disney Studios Paris, but this will be his first meet and greet appearance in the Disney Parks here in the United States. The attraction will also include the returning Thor meet and greet experience, Iron Man Tech exhibit, a MARVEL gaming zone, and small store selling super hero goods.
While the Captain America meet and greet is going away, Disney has promised that Cap will return soon. The space being used for the Spider-Man meet and greet is flex space and will change to a different MARVEL character every few months.
Steven Spielberg Seems To Confirm Directing Harrison Ford In “Indiana Jones 5”
While out promoting his latest movie, “Bridge Of Spies”, Steven Spielberg seems to have dropped a bomb that both Harrison Ford and he will be back for “Indiana Jones 5”.
When asked by Yahoo Movies, “What has made your long standing collaboration such a success?”, Spielberg mentioned that:
“Tom (Hanks) is tied with Harrison Ford. Harrison and I have done 4 movies and Tom and I have done 4 movies. Now, I’ll probably do “Indy 5″ with Harrison and that will be 5 for Harrison and 4 for Tom. I got to make another one with Tom so it will be 5 for Tom and 5 for Harrison.”
The key word is “probably”, which means more than likely. I am sure that Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford have had discussions about doing “Indiana Jones 5”. In May, Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, did confirm to Vanity Fair that “Indiana Jones 5” will be made. Kennedy has had a close working relationship with Spielberg for decades being producer for many of Spielberg’s films including “E.T”., “The Jurassic Park Trilogy”, “The Back To The Future Trilogy” and of course all of the “Indiana Jones” movies. Ford has also mentioned that he wants to do one more “Indiana Jones” movie.
We have heard rumors that we should expect a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie sometime in 2018. Hopefully we’ll hear something official from Lucasfilm in the near future.

Advance Tickets To “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Go On Sale October 19th; New Trailer Coming Possibly This Week
For those looking to get their “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” tickets early, you will finally be able to purchase your tickets on Monday, October 19th.
From Furious Fanboys:
Tonight I was able to get personal confirmation that theater box offices will begin selling advance tickets for Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Monday, October 19th. This information confirmed individual theaters selling tickets at their box offices, so I don’t know how it will apply to online ticket brokers such as Fandango or Movie Tickets. Most likely they’ll begin selling as well once the major chains open up on their side of things.
Also we should be receiving a full length trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” this week which should give us more of an idea about the actual story then the previous teaser we have seen. I have been hearing that we should be seeing something towards the end of the week and Furious Fanboys again has additional information regarding the possible release of the trailer.
A few weeks ago there was a tweet by The Movie Bit who said October 15th would be a big day for Star Wars. They previously broke some decent sized Star Wars news, so I trust them.
Noah at Star Wars Time emailed his theater general manager and found out they were expecting a package from Disney that could contain the trailer between October 15th and 19th. This backs up an email that Star Wars Junk received from a Carmike Theater in Columbus Georgia that said the trailer would be out in the middle of the month. And just tonight Star Wars Junk also heard that the trailer would be announced on the 15th, this coming Thursday and a day that StarWars.com traditionally drops big bombs on social media.
Without a doubt, we are definitely due a trailer. We have only had one teaser that premiered back in February and that’s it. Next week will be two months till the theatrical release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. “Star Wars Rebels: Season 2” also will debut next week on October 14th and we may even see a short preview that night. Keep your eyes and ears open and we will let you know as soon as possible exactly when we will have access to the new trailer.

Big Shakeup At Marvel Entertainment
There was a big shake up within Marvel Entertainment. Kevin Feige who has produced all of the Marvel movies and is the President of Marvel met with Disney and made it known that he was not happy reporting directly to the current CEO of Marvel Isaac Perlmutter. Now Feige is reporting directly to Disney Pictures President, Alan Horn.It seems that Perlmutter was a thorn in Feige’s side and it sounds like it came to the point where Feige was even considering leaving Marvel. Perlmutter is notorious for being a cheapskate and not providing enough dough for the movies. “Captain America: Civil War” was apparently the breaking point since they were going over budget and Perlmutter didn’t want to release any additional funds to support the movie.
Then there was also the disbandment of the Marvel Creative Team which some are saying was responsible for Edgar Wright leaving Ant-Man. It has Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesueda. The following list show the movies that the Creative Team had some input in:
Movies they worked on: Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Captain America: Civil War.
Movies somewhere in the middle: Hulk, Ant Man, Thor, and Thor: The Dark World.
Movies with little to no input: Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, and Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
What is weird about these movies is that it seems that the Creative Team was heavily involved with the best Marvel movies and barely had any input with the lesser ones. What does this mean for the future? We dont know right now but we’ll see what happens after “Captain America: Civil War”.
That’s it for this time!
