Fox Says The FANTASTIC FOUR Marvel Rumors Are "Completely Untrue"
A rumor recently went around that Marvel got the rights to Fantastic Four back in a deal that allowed Fox to make their two X-Men TV series Hellfire and Legion. Those rumors have turned out to be false. 20th Century Fox contacted Den of Geek, the site that made the claim, and told them that those rumors are "completely untrue." Marvel also sent them a denial.
That kind of sucks because I was actually kind of excited for the possibility of Marvel Studios developing a Fantastic Four movie. This just means that Fox is holding on to the property and will eventually try to make another film, which seems absolutely ridiculous. Fox has killed any kind of success for these characters as long as they hold on to them.
It seems like all of the fans feel that the only hope this franchise has of being good is if Marvel took it over. It's a shame that this rumor turned out to be a dud.
