Kevin Feige Provides An Update On The X-MEN And The FANTASTIC FOUR Coming Home To The MCU
During a new interview with EW, Kevin Feige was once again quizzed about the possibility of Fox's stable of Marvel characters coming home to the MCU and offered a (somewhat) positive update. Check it out.
We're all very anxious to know where things stand with the recent Disney/Fox acquisition, and whether the deal will ultimately yield the result fans have wanted to see for years: The X-Men and The Fantastic Four joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait a bit longer for some definitive answers - although Kevin Feige did at least admit that he's relishing the prospect of being able to utilize those characters during an interview with EW:
"When and how that deal with Fox finishes and comes together and we’re told, “Hey, now you can start working on it. Now you can start thinking about it,” is when we’ll actually start thinking about it. I will say just the notion of having what, frankly, most other companies with [intellectual property] have all along, which is access to all of their characters, that would be fun."
There have been rumors that Comcast's involvement in these negotiations could throw a spanner in the works, but Feige's comments do seem to suggest that it's a matter of when, not if, the deal goes through and he can begin thinking about the best way to integrate these beloved characters to the MCU.
