DO IT!
A SS film could be great, his origin (I only saw the cartoon, so I refer to that one) was great, a guy who sacrifices himself then becomes something that doesn't even care that it was in vein.
Also Galactus would be A3 wrapped up villain wise.

No one wants to touch anything remotely related to Fantastic Four. I do not blame them.

Fox should just give the whole Fantastic Four Universe back to Marvel

The first one was OK, got the cheesy tone right most of the time.
I look on 2 as the failure most think 1 was.

I wouldn't want Marvel to have Spiderman or X-Men back. Marvel's films have been pretty terrible across the board, not including the mediocre Iron Man and the good Avengers. I do not want Marvel to shoehorning The Avengers crap into my Spiderman and X-Men movies.

I still get shivers thinking about how bad the last DD movie was.

FF is the one propery I desperately want to see back at Marvel. The MCU wouldn't even exist without them, and Disney/Marvel is the only one that could actually handle the property right. It slides right in, ffs.

They weren't dealing with Disney lawyers back then

Yeah, there is not a chance in hell Fox (or Sony) will ever get away with that again. They need to make real features or Disney WILL recover the rights.

If they accept the deal Disney should just adapt the whole Annhilation storyline since they could then use Silver Surfer and probably other FF space charecters like Annhilus and Ronan the Accusar

No. They should get more than just SS and Galactus.
If not, then take the rights to Daredevil back and do it right.

Never, ever gonna happen. Not unless all the rights revert to Marvel. They would be crazy to give up Doom for Daredevil anyway.

I think Fox thinks that Daredevil has the potential to do Dark Knight Rising numbers at the box office since in their minds daredevil is "kind of like batman" . They might even be willing to give up the Fantastic four franchise in order to keep him.

Yep, have him turn up in the background of a group shot then get crushed by a car.
What's the story behind this?

Honestly I wish it would go down just like this, I don't see DD working very well in MCU anyway
A DD movie or two based on Frank Millers shit would be good. Maybe directed by Gareth Evans. A DD series based on the stories of David Hinds, Kevin Smith, Bends or Brubaker would make me a very, very happy man.

According to rumor and hearsay the first script was very dark, gritty and somewhat brutal, but some Fox shithead wanted a safe summer blockbuster instead.
Fuck.

To keep the right Fox had to make a FF film every few years, while they waited they tricked some cheep movie makers to make a movie.
Some Fox or Sony executive said that if they got desperate enough to keep the movie rights they could just make some cheap film and release it on dvd. Something similar happened in the early 90's with the Fantastic Four movie.

Ultron, for one.
Would perfect to start the street section of the MCU. Heroes for Hire, Shang Chi, Moonknight, Night Nurse, etc.
Very interesting. Thanks guys.

Nope, they never played to put it out in any form, what's out was leaked (like the horrible Wonder Woman reboot).
I feel Ultron would be a step down tier wise after
Thanos
I heard about this and I wonder if it was legal under their contract since it was never released.
Fox has to release a Daredevil movie before the deadline, or else the movie rights go back to Marvel/Disney.
I'd go hard at Fox and get back Fantastic Four overall. Or at least work out a deal for them to use FF in the MCU.
Totally good deal.
Disney should give Fox a one-time only 2 year extension to the deadline in exchange for a full return of SS and Galactus since Fox clearly has no clue what to do with them.
Galactus will be a good villain after Thanos, since he's probably the only thing that could be bigger and more epic and cosmic than Thanos.

how about Kang the Konqueror or the masters of evil?
Ultron would be a huge step down from Thanos.
I know, I was talking about what the executive said.
