According to DenOfGeek, Fantastic Four is now back at Marvel Studios in an apparent deal with FOX that had something to do with the X-Men TV series news that we reported last night. Here’s what the site had to say:
According to our source, Fox were given the TV rights for X-Men in exchange for Fantastic Four. The deal’s been in the works for some time we’re told. Further, the timing of Marvel’s recent announcement of its movie slate leading up to the year 2020 and the X-Men TV series is no coincidence.
What about Silver Surfer, Galactus and Doctor Doom?
Update: Having asked for some clarification from our source, we understand that the deal Marvel have made with Fox – which will see Fantastic Four returned to the Marvel fold in exchange for the X-Men TV rights – also includes the rights to villains Galactus and Doctor Doom, as well as the Silver Surfer.
Interesting, if true.
