Man if they had Deadpool do broadcast-style censorship when he's in a non-deadpool movie, it would be amazing. Just bad lip-sync and everything.

Yea didnt he say he was tired of getting in shape for that role?
Sony is larger than Disney in revenue and assets.
They are almost a third of the value of Disney and Comcast.
Those metrics have little to do with what a company is worth.
No. That makes no sense.
So if you take away everything that contributes to making a company big, Comcast is smaller than Disney. Got it.
Yes. That's all. And if you thought about it a bit I bet you would understand why those metrics don't necessarily make one company larger than another..
Pretty much. Based on Marvel production pipeline it'll be probably late 2021 for the first mentions of anything Fox and then 2022 for the first movie at the very earliest. And that's if everything works out perfectly, the deal closes before next July, and they rush stuff through.
Basically the 2020/2021 stuff is being worked on right now. Anything beyond that would start in the second half of next year.
I actually talked to some of them over the weekend face to face. Basically they're finishing up A4 (still stuff being done there), working on Spidey 2, and then it's all the future 2020/2021 stuff they won't announce until next SDCC. Anything Fox is further out.
Well, if we look at the Spider-Man deal, it was announced that Sony and Disney had come to an agreement in February 2015, with Spider-Man appearing in Civil War in 2016, and Homecoming releasing in 2017. Based on that, it's not impossible that we could see mutants pop up in other movies as early as 2020 with an X-Men movie by 2021. It all depends on Marvel's plans of course, but I do have to imagine that Disney is going to want them to monetize their new properties as soon as possible.
EDIT: See Manabyte's post above mine. He clearly has more information than I do :)
Dark Phoenix has a post credit scene that takes place 30 years in the future, with all of them getting snapped haha
Disney cant even finish the Muppet show on DVD. You aren't getting the baby spinoff.
If you want to get an idea what properties are involved in this deal beyond Marvel comic book franchises...
With Comcast out, how Disney's empire will look with Fox
With Comcast out, how Disney's empire will look with Fox
- Fox, FX, FXX, National Geographic TV - Series including The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Archer, Always Sunny, Fargo, Legion, This is Us, Modern Family, Atlanta
- Fox Sports - Regional sports networks will have to be sold off to other parties due to antitrust agreement.
- Hulu - Disney will now own 60% of Hulu.
- Movies - In addition to X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, Disney now owns 20th Century Fox properties like Avatar.

I doubt Dark Phoenix will be cancelled, as the deal will not be completed officially for awhile.
First public thing should be as soon as the deal is 100% final him tweeting out "To me my X-Men!".
Alexandra might be in luck. Marvel Studios have a nice track record of hiring actors/actresses that worked on other lackluster comic movies and bring them into the Marvel fold. I don't doubt if they recast her in a new role, it's going to be better than what they did with her in Apocalypse (hell, will even be a BETTER movie!).

I'm still very curious to see what happens with Buffy, Angel and Firefly under Disney.
Very curious.
Very curious.
They can always hire her for agents of shield,luke cage,iron fist,dare devil,etc.
They are also adding a major animation studio with Blue Sky. Scrat (the Ice Age squirrel) is now technically a Disney character.
The Buffy reboot they announced at SDCC is perfect for the streaming service or Hulu.

Please stop. Those metrics do not influence the market value of a company. Disney is worth more than Comcast. Full stop.

Revenue - $12bn

It's all over the Gunn threads, and even before there were clear rumours of him taking a step back and letting Gunn have more control over the MCU proper. I don't know where those things came from, but I certainly didn't make them up.
