It sounds like Fox & Disney are starting to plan for the inevitable when it comes to the Marvel universe. In a report via Collider by Bryan Andrew at comicgenre.com, apparently Xmen: Dark Phoenix will be the last Marvel entry for Fox. He had attended a speaking engagement with some high-level Fox production crew members discussing the future of Fox's Marvel characters. In the info gathered he stated, "X-Men: Dark Phoenix will be the last proper Fox Marvel movie, presumably also the last in that continuity. The crew behind the camera has been thanked for their work but their services will not be needed any longer, as everything is moving to Disney. Apparently, the X-Men being integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a done deal, and merely awaiting the approval of the merger. Kevin Feige is “hoovering up” all of the Fox-Marvel characters, and is already planning for them all to go into Phase 4. This includes the X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four. In what capacity and with what actors was not discussed." If this is really how it went down, there you go. The gears have been put in motion. The mutants & the first family are coming home. The lineup for Phase 4 is now through the roof. Hell, I'm actually excited to watch things I've already seen before. Just because now, they're gonna be done right. You know, like Gambit, or anything Fantastic Four? The developments to come out of this are going to be more than exciting. I'm sure the Marvel Studios "drawing board" has been split in half with what they were planning with what they could now be planning. We've still got awhile before we find out for sure if this is going down. Mid-2019 is about where we're looking for confirmation on finalizing the deal. Fingers crossed. Everyone else excited about this? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
