As you no doubt already know, the deal between Disney and Fox is now 100% official. It might be a while before we get to see any significant changes take place but this is a game changer for Hollywood and makes Disney one of the most powerful companies on the planet. Of course, seeing as the studio is looking to launch a streaming service to rival Netflix, this sort of thing was inevitably going to happen.
While most of us have been focused on the fact that this deal means the X-Men and Fantastic Four will return home to Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, those characters most definitely aren't the only reason Disney decided to move forward with acquiring 21st Century Fox's many assets.
So, which other film and television franchises do Disney now hold the rights to? More than you probably imagined! From reboots to theme park rides and new merchandise, you'd best believe we'll see these take centre stage over the next few years, while others may be destined for the scrapheap.
Alien
Many fans believe Sir Ridley Scott has run this franchise into the ground after Prometheus and Alien: Covenant but the filmmaker is now planning on putting the focus on androids as opposed to Xenomorphs. Whether or not Disney will give him that opportunity is another matter.
Star Wars: A New Hope
Before today, Disney owned every Star Wars movie besides A New Hope. Now, the entire franchise belongs to the House of Mouse and you'd best believe that's opened the door to us finally getting the original theatrical versions - minus George Lucas' tampering - on DVD and Blu-ray.
24
It was recently revealed that Fox is planning to reboot the 24 franchise with a new female lead in what feels like a pretty desperate attempt to keep the now Jack Bauer-less franchise going even after 24: Legacy failed to resonate with critics and viewers. Maybe now we'll get a movie?
Planet Of The Apes
War for the Planet of the Apes didn't perform quite as well as expected but Matt Reeves' final instalment of this trilogy was nothing short of excellent. There are many ways this franchise could continue but it seems perfectly suited to Disney, especially in regards to their theme parks.
The Simpsons
The Simpsons may be a Fox stalwart but there's no way they're going anywhere. The franchise may not be as popular as it once was but Disney can continue to exploit the characters in terms of merchandise, theme parks, and on the big and small screens for many years to come.
Die Hard
The Die Hard franchise is currently dormant despite talks of a new take being launched with Bruce Willis. Chances are the series will never return to its former glory but there are a lot of mediums it has potential on, particularly television if it were to be handled the right way.
Independence Day
Independence Day: Resurgence was an awful, awful film but that doesn't mean there's not still hope for this franchise. I'm not sure what direction it could be taken in next but it would be a shame to leave it alone for another twenty years so here's hoping Disney has some ideas!
Kingsman
Kingsman: The Golden Circle may not have taken off in the same way as its predecessor but the R-Rated movie was still a hit and talented filmmaker Matthew Vaughn still has plenty ideas for a third instalment. That's no doubt going to happen at some point in the near future.
Family Guy
Family Guy frequently flirts with controversy and that may make the family-friendly Disney uncomfortable. The show is no longer a ratings or critical darling, so this one being wrapped up somewhere down the line probably wouldn't be all that surprising unless changes are made.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
That's right, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is now a Disney princess! Despite the popularity of the TV series, the franchise has been left alone since it ended but if the studio is looking to crack into a new market - specifically teenage girls - we could see her make her return very soon.
The X-Files
It was recently revealed that The X-Files will return for a second season since making its return to Fox and there's no reason to suspect that Disney would change that. Sure, the franchise probably isn't in its heyday but the revival attracted a decent enough audience.
Avatar
Disney recently opened Avatar Land so you just know they're rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of keeping all the merchandise money to themselves! Throw in the fact that James Cameron is working on a series of sequels and the studio is very happy right now.
Predator
A new take on the Predator franchise is currently in the works from Iron Man 3 director Shane Black and common sense says that if that's a box office hit, we'll be getting a sequel. You just have to hope Disney resists the urge to make another Alien vs. Predator movie!
Ice Age
The Ice Age franchise has arguably outstayed its welcome thanks to all those underwhelming sequels but that doesn't mean Disney Animation can't redeem the property. Handled the right way, an Ice Age reboot stands the chance of sitting alongside some of the studio's best animated efforts.
Wolverine
Yes, Wolverine is part of the X-Men but the character has found great success as a solo star over the years, so it's highly likely that Disney will launch a new PG-13 movie revolving around the clawed mutant at the same time his teammates are given the spotlight in the MCU.
Goosebumps
It was only this week that we learned the Goosebumps sequel has landed a director and while it's possible Disney will want to take things in a slightly different direction, there's absolutely no reason to believe that the family-friendly franchise won't continue for theforseeable future.
