'Fantastic Four' Joins Marvel Cinematic Universe After Fox Acquisition
After the competitors vying for the rights and properties of Fox dwindled down to one, fans were concerned that the "Fantastic Four" franchise will be cancelled as a result. However, recent reports have revealed that "Fantastic Four" has successfully been added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to reports, Disney's chief executive officer Bob Iger was quick to assuage the fear of the fans that "Fantastic Four" will end with the critical failure in 2015, when the film only earned nine percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Iger has expressed that he is excited and looking forward to expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe to include "X-Men," "Deadpool," and "Fantastic Four."
Further reports have also revealed that talented artists have expressed their appreciation of adding "Fantastic Four" to the Marvel Cinematic Universe by creating posters that have been quickly hyping up the fans, especially considering how 2018 is a big year for the franchise. Although the "Fantastic Four" team is not expected to appear in the upcoming films under the universe, fans speculate that there might be a chance to have them be revived in theaters before the year ends.
