For those who haven't read the article, it's basically saying that the proposed deal would see the movie division (20th Century Fox) and the television divisions (Fox Network, Star, and Sky) sell to Disney, while 21st Century Fox would retain Fox News and Fox Sports, and those would be their sole focus.

I don't think this is right. It says they wouldn't go after the TV broadcasting of Fox.

The company could not own two broadcast networks and would therefore not buy the Fox broadcast network. It would not buy Fox's sports programming assets in the belief that combining them with ESPN could be seen as anti-competitive from an antitrust standpoint and it would not buy the Fox News or Business channel. Disney would also not purchase Fox's local broadcasting affiliates, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

You're right, I misread. So would this deal only be for their movies, basically?

Movies and non news/sports cable channels it looks like...Sky/Star/FX/etc

Just not Fox Broadcast/News/Sports/Business.

Gotcha. Wow, that'd be weird if FX was Disney and Fox Broadcast was still Fox.

As excited as I would be for Marvel to get X-Men, I'm can only see Jackman as Wolverine and refuse to accept a new actor

still not Wolverine.

You know if Marvel got Wolverine it would be young James Howlet struggling with his teenage identity and learning not to trust his best friend.

Nah - go with a 5'4 actor and we won't see them as the same Wolverine.

Maybe not...

Ugh

Does Morbius even rate D-rank in the Marvel Universe? That's some fine barrel scraping right there. I call Stilt-man next (or maybe Lady Stilt-man?)

Actually, I just thought of something. IIRC the Sony deal with Marvel is good for 3 team-up films (Civil War, Infinity War, Avengers 4) and 3 Spider-Man films (Homecoming in 2017, sequel in 2019, and then TBD).

It pains me to think that, just when we're all getting used to the idea of Spidey in the MCU, Sony could yank him back to their own, ****ty universe that already has villains and supporting characters established. I assume Tom Holland will have the choice of either retiring from being Spider-Man or signing into a long-term deal with Sony. And he'll be like 25 years old at that time.

Could Sony come out of this ahead, even though nobody thinks it's a good idea? Vomit.

Kind of random, but I've always thought this dude would make a good Wolverine. He isn't an actor, though. About the right height (5'6"), super athletic, angry competitor, the right look, and he has Canadian roots.

Reviews for Punisher are now coming and saying it's just ok. A couple said the show was boring. I hope that's not true because that's what I've thought about the last three.

Saw a summary that noted there are too many episodes. How has Netflix/Marvel not figured this out yet? That was the case for all the series except Defenders. Save some money, leave out the fluff, and make it more enjoyable.

It's like he made this just for me

Pretty funny.

FYI, NSFW.

Anyone watching this? I don't have Hulu

Thanks random dude. They didn't have a good actor for Wolverine already.

just saw Thor, loved it.

Spoiler

I wonder if/when they did any reshoots. The original trailer showed hela destroying mjolnir in a new york alley, not out in a field.

That scene was shot on a green screen set and they just swapped out the surroundings in post.

Massive sale at ComiXology right now on tons of collected titles for anyone looking for reading material (Marvel and DC)

<spoilers> It is a joke </spoliers>

That ****'s funny right there

I enjoyed it but I don't think it's a better overall work than either Thor or Spiderman.

Some scenes from infinity war trailer leaked. They were taken down off YouTube pretty quick but I got to see one of the scenes. It's going to be amazing. Thanos and the Collector were in this scene...

The scale for this movie is unlike anything that's been tackled on film before
