And just as a nice tease, Feige revealed that these titles include Fantastic Four, Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, and a film that could, possibly, feature some mutants. Check out more on all of these titles below.
It won’t be long until we finally get to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four finally play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanks to Disney acquiring Fox Entertainment last year, we will finally get to see the two interact with The Avengers and Spider-Man. While the deal is expected to close near the end of this month, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is already talking about when we could possibly see either of these properties in the MCU.
Just because Avengers: Infinity War could be the end, doesn’t mean it will be the end. In the film, Thanos seeks to collect the all-powerful Infinity Stones to bring forth balance within the universe. The Mad Titan suffered a great tragedy when he couldn’t save his home planet of Titan, and now he believes that if he is to save the universe, he will have to destroy it.
So it’s unclear what kind of future the founding Avengers have beyond Infinity War. However, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clearly has a plan. In anticipation for the film, Feige is talking about the future of the studio and the effect the Fox and Disney merger could have on their plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. More on the story, below.
You’ll never know what kind of news will drop at SDCC. Take for instance what happened at Ballroom 20 this weekend. Fargo creator Noah Hawley was there to talk about Legion where he dropped a massive very newsworthy bomb on the audience. He told them that he was developing a project for Fox, and then followed it up with two words: Doctor Doom.
While we know Hawley is more than capable of handling comic book material, but an entire film about Doctor Doom seems out of the ordinary. But then again, it may be just the thing Fox needs to hold on to rights to the Fantastic Four. They’re going to need something like this, especially after Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four performed poorly with critics and audiences alike. More on the story below.

In 1986, German film producer Bernd Eichinger (The Neverending Story) purchased the motion picture rights to Marvel Comics’ first family of bickering cosmic superheroes, the Fantastic Four. Eichinger envisioned making a classy, big-budget adventure with funding from a major studio and the latest in cutting edge visual effects, but no studio was interested. He had until New Year’s Eve 1992 to get the film into production or his rights would revert back to Marvel.
