Nah it will be a Stan Lee Tribute and a Spider-Man stinger to set up far from home

But muh "Doctor Doom fighting the X-Men while Silver Surfer watches and Galactus eats popcorn" stinger!
The tribute already happened in Captain Marvel and no way do they use Endgame's post credit scene to tease a movie that already has a trailer out for it.
There are at least six movies between Spider-Man and the first possible date for an X-Men or F4 movie.
They teased Endgame in Captain Marvel and that already had a trailer out.
No matter the form of media (comics/novel/games/movies) I'm 100% sure this will happen in a few years:

You are probably right.
God this timeline sucks ass

There is literally no reason to think that would happen. Relax.
I bet they keep it for movies that don't make sense to come out under the "Disney" label. They may just remove the "Fox" and have it be "21st Century Films"
Isn't Fox going to stay a brand within Disney? So probably not.
From my perspective for Disney to enter monopoly territory they would need to either:
A. Own such a large percentage of film studios and IP that it is impossible to compete with them.
B. Own the entire means of production and distribution involved in their respective domain.
To point A, there continue to be a variety of funding sources and ways to create film that require no involvement of Disney, and there are still several major film studios in operation along with innumerable small and independent studios. While Disney can throw their weight around the industry as the dominant force, they don't have the ability to be prevent competition nor can't they prevent the rise of new studios or other media platforms.
To point B, Disney would need to buy an ISP/cable service provider and/or a major theater chain. As they are subject to distribution outlets owned by other companies, they have little power in preventing competition at the box office, on TV, or on streaming services.
I hope they take this opportunity to put it back into the iTunes releases where they'd removed it, retroactively add it to the Disney Star Wars films so far, and include it in future films.
Only a rumor cause Scott Derrickson shared a comic book panel with Namor and Doctor Strange in it, before he removed it.
While people are being hyperbolic by calling Disney a monopoly, they're not exactly wrong to be worried about Disney owning so many studios. Them becoming this huge isn't a good thing. While yeah, it's cool that Fantastic Four and X-Men and stuff can pop up in the MCU now (and it's not wrong to be excited about those movies), this overall is bad for the film industry. It means one less company that movies can be pitched to, less movies coming from Fox, a bunch more franchises for the company that stops works from entering the public domain.
They need to stick it back in front of Star Wars where it belongs.
There are more options today for pitching a movie than there has ever been.
Now if you're one of those who hates streaming and only likes sitting in a theater, than yeah, there is one less option. If you're a filmmaker or everyone else, the options these days are enormous.
There's only a couple of major streaming services (Netflix and Amazon) that aren't owned by movie companies though. Speaking of, Disney now owns 60% of Hulu thanks to the Fox deal.
20th Century Fox is still gonna be a studio that Disney can produce movies that don't fit the "Disney" brand under. It's not going anywhere, and I would not be surprised if they used it for Star Wars.
This will never happen. Star wars will forever be under the Disney brand from now to eternity.
None of the Disney-produced Star Wars movies have had the Disney logo in front of them, just the Lucasfilm one. Putting the 20th Century Fox logo and its fanfare back in front of that would please the fans immensely, and they could stick "A Walt Disney Company" under the logo to show off their new purchase.
I'm super excited for Disney getting these properties and I hope it means they someday being alien encounter back to Magic Kingdom. But I don't want the XMen in the MCU I think they don't mesh with a bugger universe. Bring F4 and it's villains into the MCU and keep the XMen their own thing.
I have a sneaky suspicion they CG'd and shot a few extra scenes in case the deal went through before the film released. You will see someone even if it's the end-credits. Feige is always ahead of the curve.
It was only this week that Kevin Feige repeated, that the post-credits scene for The Avengers were filmed after the premiere. Thus nothing is impossible if they really want it in there.
That said, I still wouldn't count on any "Fox character" teases for Endgame.
I said the exact thing in the MCU next villain thread. But I want this started in BP2
We need this.
Netflix and a amazon are spending billions of dollars a year on content. Even if they were the only players(they aren't), it's undeniable there are way more options for getting a film or tv show made today than 20 years ago.
As to studios owning streaming services, so what? They still need content. There are huge holes that need to be filled.
We are living in a boom time for content. It's like the gold rush out there. Disney buying Fox isn't going to change that.
I remember when this was said of Spider-man being in Civil War.
No matter the form of media (comics/novel/games/movies) I'm 100% sure this will happen in a few years:
The alternate timeline where Warner Bros bought fox:
There's also a small player who is announcing they are entering the streaming market next week. They have almost no money to throw at content either.
Also, no one talks about youtube, twitter, and Facebook/Instagram. Those stream millions of hours of content every day with millions of eyes watching those videos. It's not just "movies/tv shows" and even then youtube has youtube red and Google already has the infrastructure ready if they want to fork out money for content. Morgan Stanley valued Youtube to be worth more than the entirety of Disney last year.
Yeah since Fox News, Network, etc is becoming "New Fox" i'd drop the Fox entirely for "21st Century Films" "21st Century Spotlight" etc.
I planning to watch my favorite Fox film The Sandlot right now as a tribute before they become part of Disney in a few hours.
