I mean I want Mads Mikkelsen to play Doom as much as anyone but yeah Disney's growing monopoly isn't a good thing long term.

The Walt Disney Company to Acquire Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., after Spinoff of Certain Businesses, for $52.4 Billion in Stock

Combining with Disney are 21st Century Fox’s critically acclaimed film production businesses, including Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures and Fox 2000, which together offer diverse and compelling storytelling businesses and are the homes of Avatar, X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, as well as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hidden Figures, Gone Girl, The Shape of Water and The Martian—and its storied television creative units, Twentieth Century Fox Television, FX Productions and Fox21, which have brought The Americans, This Is Us, Modern Family, The Simpsons and so many more hit TV series to viewers across the globe. Disney will also acquire FX Networks, National Geographic Partners, Fox Sports Regional Networks, Fox Networks Group International, Star India and Fox’s interests in Hulu, Sky plc, Tata Sky and Endemol Shine Group.

The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love.

Yup, confirmed in the press release.

Sweet, I didn't see it there at first. They will probably be more important to the MCU with the whole space stuff theme going forward, and I'm actually excited for a decent F4 movie too, hopefully they commit to one.

I hope they get the FF to strawberry float and cherry pick the best characters from the supporting cast to strategically insert into the MCU. I find the fantastic four very archaic in terms of their relevance to modern society.

I would think they will start by bringing in certain characters like Silver Surfer/Galactus first off. I really want to see more period pieces (we've only had a single Captain America movie and a few short scenes in Ant-Man/Iron Man's) and an F4 movie would really work in that mould I think.
