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!!!

It’s been reported as stalled. Not dead.

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.
