Stupid question because I'm just not as up to date on these things as I wish I was, but isn't the X-Men franchise a Marvel thing? Or are they owned by 20th Century Fox, so Deadpool and those movies wouldn't be included?
I hear the Inhumans movie may be off. I think Agents of Shield is going to explore that story line more then originally thought so by the time the movie rolls around, the show will have exhausted the storyline. As far as Guardians goes, my understanding is that almost all actors, when signing with Marvel, sign for 6-9 movies now. I think most are for 6. Sam Jackson was for 9.Hey Ryno, is Inhumans still on the board? I've been getting some strong rumours from the people who went to NY Comic Con that Marvel has cancelled it? Either way, I like the idea of a Spider Man sequels but I'm not sure about Guardians 3 though. Do they all have contracts through 3+ films?
The Marvel rights sell-off happened when the company was going bankrupt in the late 1990's. The sale of the rights to other studios actually saved the company. At the time, X-Men, Spider-Man, Daredevil, etc. were the hot properties and nobody would have thought of making movies of Iron Man and the Avengers related characters. This turned out to be good luck for Marvel when they changed from a film licensing company to a studio. They originally partnered with Paramount as a distributor for their in-house films, but after the Disney buyout that all changed of course.
The bummer is that as long as Fox keeps making X-Men and Fantastic Four movies every few years they keep the rights in perpetuity. That's why they rushed out this summer's rather awful FF movie as it helps them retain the rights. Of course, they may have killed the franchise making siad rights worthless, but that happens sometimes.

I don't mind FOX owning X-Men. I say they've actually upped their X-Men game quite a bit in the last few years and I am very excited to see what X-Men Apocalypse looks like as well as the third Wolverine movie.
It came out shortly after that these rumors were false. Marvel Cinematic does not have the Fantastic Four rights in any capacity. The rumors were that Fox could make X-MEN TV programming if Marvel could make Fantastic Four movie programming. While I think both of those have great potential, I do not foresee Fox giving up the rights any time soon, which means we will probably see another terrible FF movie in approximately 6 years.I saw a Collider article on the fantastic four rights but they went back on their word. Is anyone else confirming it? I wish Marvel had the four. They have been so abused in movies.

There is just so much going on at the moment! Didn't think I would like the direction they took with Coulson as director but my other half made me stick with it and I'm so glad I did! I love May so much too, she is just an awesome character.^ I love AoS. The show has gotten really good and is one of my most anticipated shows of the week.
