Avengers 4

[NinjaPug]

There is more of a chance that Disney cancels the release of the Dark Phoenix movie entirely (assuming the deal gets closed in time) than there is that the X-Men show up in Avengers 4.

Filming for A4 ends in a month. Plus they aren't going make big changes for what is the culmination of 20 movies.

I doubt that, those movies will still be released, but anything after Deadpool 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants will probably be under Disney, they are supposed to make a Gambit movie as well, but with Disney, maybe they can try to incorporate Gambit into the MCU?

I only said Dark Phoenix and only if the deal closes in time. Why exactly do you doubt that?

There is an article in the Wall Street Journal this morning that said Disney is planning to scale back the Fox movie studio considerably (this is why I don't want the deal to go through at all). It also pointed out that there are two franchises Disney is excited about - Avatar and X-Men. If they have big plans for X-Men then they are going to wipe the slate clean asap. It's easier to reboot a franchise if the last movie people saw was in 2016 and not late 2018.

If you're buying Fox for $65-$70 billion getting a return of maybe $100 million (generous estimate) from releasing Dark Phoenix in theaters means nothing. I'm sure their analysts believe it would be more financially beneficial in the long run to cut their ties now and reboot. They may think rebooting immediately after Dark Phoenix could be detrimental to the future success of their incarnation of the X-Men.

Again, I'm only saying I think it's more likely that Dark Phoenix isn't released in theaters than it is that the X-Men pop up in Avengers 4.

How far along is Dark Phoenix? I would think that movie would still come out as it's meant to, remember that deals are made with many companies years in advance when it comes to different distribution rights, you can't just come in and change everything.

Disney will definitely reboot X-Men, that continuity is too convoluted and not their vision not to mention the most important part, they don't own it. The fact that the continuity has been going on for so long and done pretty much most things you could ask of it people wouldn't even complain that these would be rebooted.

Them adding something at the last minute in reference to the X-Men franchise? Non-Wolverine Jackman cameo? I can totally see something like that. Mostly harmless fun.



This deal happening is horrible for movie fans, internet nerds really need to take an Economics 101 class to understand what's going to happen with less competition.

With Phase 4 of the MCU being Cosmic, they can do some of the Cosmic X-Men stuff, like the Starjammers, I could totally see the Guardians clashing with the Starjammers.

Dark Phoenix has to be almost done filming, it comes out next year and it was all over the last Entertainment Weekly. There's no way they're canceling it.

It will probably be the last X-men movie in this continuity though unless Disney just decides to continue with it for whatever reason.

No sh*t. It will be the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" of the Fox-Men.

I guess most of you are forgetting that Hugh is getting tol old to play Wolverine. No way he's gonna play him for another set of MCU movies. It's getting harder for him to get into Wolverine shape.

Plus Deadpool 2 is still part of the FOX-Men universe. It lives on.

So it's called "Avengers: Endgame." Apparently.

Not a super exciting title. I thought it would be the name of some other comic story.
