21st century Fox has been acquired by Disney for $52 billion. As part of this deal, they finally got the rights to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four back, just in time for Marvel's Phase 4.
This also means that Disney can freely rerelease the previous 6 Star Wars films on Blu-Ray without consulting Fox. It looks like we might soon get a Blu-ray boxed set with every single movie after all. And hopefully the bundle will include the sequel trilogy when the time comes.
What are your thoughts? Also, I bet Deadpool will get his own Netflix series once the X-Men make their debut in the MCU.
Update: Disney now owns The Simpsons, Avatar (Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom now makes sense), and a big chunk of Hulu.
Update: Holy F**k! I just now realized Disney now owns Alien. I wonder if this means the Guardians of the Galaxy will fight Xenomorphs in a spin off one day?
