hmmnn...

if either Disney or Comcast buys them I feel like it would be ultimately a bad thing for consumers


however... Comcast headquarters are in Philly so.. I wouldn't be too mad at that..

and if Disney owned them they'd have the most useful parts of Marvel universe (Mutants) under the same roof

would have loved to see Wolverine on that airport Tarmac going at it with Capo


either way.. they'll never allow this..
Apparently the rights go back to Marvel whoever they sell to as the licensing deal is based on Fox making the movies - they can't transfer the licensing deal along with the sale of the company

:ohhh: so technically Disney could get back the X-Men and Fantastic 4 without spending a dime.

No, Disney does NOT get the X-MEN rights back if Fox sells to Comcast. As long as Fox keeps making movies (which they will) they own the X-MEN rights. This deal makes sense for Comcast, as Universal owns no major comic properties.

Why is everyone trying to buy Fox suddenly? Is Fox insolvent or some shyt?

Uh, you do realize that if Comcast goes through with this acquisition we could get a long anticipated X-Men vs. Dom's crew movie?
