Is a fully integrated Marvel Cinematic Universe on the horizon?  Would Disney finally do the Fantastic Four movie we've all been waiting for?

I'm picturing a Galactus sequence in which the Devourer leaves Norrin Radd to clean up the Worldship but lazy Norrin uses the Power Cosmic to animate a broom to do the work for him...

Hugh Jackman said the only thing that could bring him back would be a Wolverine story with the Avengers...

Ha.....interesting move. If Fox won't sell back the right to FF and X-Men, then buy the "whole" enchilada. I like it if it means we'll see a fully integrated universe. Too bad it didn't happen before Infinity War. 

On a side note, I think Thanos is going to win the war and destroy everything, then somehow the heroes will come back for a victory in the second, movie, but reality as we know will be different/changed. For some reason, many heroes won't look the same as before (new actors) and suddenly the FF and X-Men will exist. 

Then.......then everyone against the one true Galactus!!!

Lots of speculation on the business networks (especially CNBC) as to what motivating the issue. For example:  https://www.cnbc.com/video/2017/11/06/michael-wolff-what-dis neys-fox-deal-means-for-murdoch-family.html

The Comcast news home page has already replaced their "cancelled" piece with a "secret" talks piece. Terrible secret!

"Reported conversations that took place between Disney and 21st Century Fox were never about Disney acquiring the X-Men; they were always about Disney clutching Futurama."

Disney is starting its own subscription video on demand
service. Adding 21st Century Fox's library would make
it a true rival to Netflix.
