Fox and Marvel to possibly announce a Fantastic Four Partnership
 

Take this with a grain of salt, but rumor has it that Fox and Marvel will announce a Fantastic Four Partnership at Comic Con, so there's the possibility of Marvel Studios making a Fantastic Four movie with Fox.

Pretty sure this deal has been sealed for a while now. Marvel really, really wants Galactus. Notice how the "Hellfire" show has quietly become a full-fledged X-Men show today? No way would Marvel give the thumbs up unless they're getting something comparable in return.

The writer of that article seems to be on the fence about this, but I think Marvel will recast the Four.

The old (new?) cast wouldn't do much besides remind everyone of that terrible movie.

Especially Miles Teller.

Of course they will. They pretty much have to, with Michael B. Jordan already signed onto Black Panther as the villain (which was very savvy casting of Marvel, tying Fox's hands).

I'd hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I honestly doubt that this will happen. After last year's crap-heap, I don't think ANYONE is going to want to see ANYTHING involving the FF. Plus, Marvel themselves have stated six months ago that they won't be doing anything with them for a while, and I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't go back on their word so quickly.

They'll get to FF eventually. In the mean time, as part of the package deal they get Galactus... which means they have somewhere to go after Thanos is put down.

Just curious, have there been any film or tv adaptations of the FF that aren't generally considered bad or mediocre?

Well...there was that one radio drama where Bill Murray voiced Johnny. That was actually really good.

Sadly the closest I think the FF have been to being portrayed well in TV/film is in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Never in a show of their own have they been able to shine.

I know Marvel's wanted this forever. Gotta get those Galactus rights. I hope it's true, the FF would be great in the MCU.

Wouldn't that also come with the Skrulls? they are major marvel villains and often associated with FF.

The problem with the Skrulls is that I feel like Marvel already played the "well-known characters are secret agents" card in Winter Soldier. Plus we already had an alien invasion in the first Avengers. But if they can figure out something different to do with them - like a Kree-Skrull War - that'd be flippin' awesome to have in the MCU.

Story and plot wise, that would make for some great fallout from the upcoming Captain Marvel movie.

The bigger question is... where is RICK JONES?? He plays a big role in that storyline.

He's been with the Avengers since day one in the comics and no one ever seems to pay attention to him!

Yeah, I don't think he was even mentioned in the Hulk movie.

Marvel shares the film rights to the Skrulls now. A Secret Invasion storyline would be awesome.

He wasn't. He was kind of the guy who gelled all the Avengers together, and I guess that role was replaced by Coulson. :ohwell:

I'm convinced this will happen, but I'm also pretty sure Marvel will wait another year or so to announce this; closer to the end of Phase 3.

... :teek: I never realized that, but you're absolutely right!!! :teek:

Is everyone still convinced he died in the Battle of New York?

I've never heard of plans to bring him back into the MCU. Even the actor for the character doubts it, unfortunately.

Apparently it's because the guy who runs Marvel television (Ike Perlmutter) and the guy who runs Marvel films (Kevin Feige) hate each other.
