Well the cast was by FAR the best thing about the movie.
...maybe the only good thing =P
Even then Fox was getting ready to do a Born Again film for Daredevil to meet its deadline, but had the whole thing fall apart at the 11th hour and they couldn't get anybody to pick up the pieces.
However, Fox wasn't super invested in the franchise, as Marvel offered to give them more time with Daredevil in exchange for Galactus and Silver Surfer, but Fox said no and let the DD rights lapse.

Yeah wasn't responding directly to your post, but the idea that Spider-Man movies still make a lot of money (they kinda do just based on gross alone) but what they're getting alongside that downward trend is not good enough when they're also missing out on merch $$$
Oh didn't mean it that way
Just you said basically what I was thinking.
Sony had their backs against the wall with a falling franchise
FOX has a failing franchise, but don't have their backs to the wall which is more important here I think.
Well I guess that plan was doomed.
If we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it!
Oh wait wrong movie...

and I was looking forward for new F4 comic book if this happens
Reed: Well, I guess we're four. A... fantastic four.
Sue: Oh Reed, you're a hands on boyfriend.
Ben: Gotta go, I got a thing.
Johnny: You are a thing.

Man I hate this shit, Reed is the only guy that keeps Doom in check and stops him from being too overbearing.
Doom can work without Reed, but if you want full potential 100% final form Dr. Doom then you need Reed.

Been saying it for a while but I hope so, so that we can get Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer, and Galactus in the MCU films finally. I really don't care about the F4.
Edit: Fuck!
Edit: Fuck!
I'm willing to bet we'll have an announcement by January.

Lol, it's not that serious. I just thought I remembered reading that a deal like that wasn't in place/discussed.
Even if the rumor was 100% true, no way would Fox confirm it. Fant4stic is still out in some theaters and still has yet to open in some locations, it has to go through home video release, and there are still network broadcasting terms to negotiate.
Until every last possible door of revenue is closed, they won't say anything on the matter. Nor should they. They still have a terrible film to promote in some places and to try and salvage as much as they can.
They'll talk about a sequel that'll never happen, spin-offs and crossovers that will never occur, put on a bold face and blow a lot of hot air because they're a business and you stand behind your product until the bitter end... and only then, only after all the smoke has cleared, will we know for sure if they've truly given up on it and made a deal with Marvel.
But Fox was never going to confirm this. They'll deny even the merest hint of negotiating or letting go of the series until it's actually "official" and Marvel breaks the news. But that just isn't happening so long as the body of Fant4stic is still warm.

Cool, like Sony did with Spider-Man?
Not saying it's true one way or the other, but...
Less than ONE MONTH later, Spider-man joined the MCU.

Are we now operating on the basis that a deconfirmation now equals a confirmation? Because this is not healthy!
While I agree there's nothing but smoke here-It could be possible, and even if it were true, neither side would officially announce anything today.
The one sticking point here is the TV show announcements-that's the one thing that lends credibility to this to me.
No, just that this hasnt to mean something.
Lets wait until 2-3 months after the F4 Blu-Ray launches.
If the film rights return to Marvel. The F4 comics just don't sell anymore & Marvel Comics has no reason to push them.

Please get Mads Mikkelson as doom. Hannibal was pretty much doom on TV.

tHAT BASICALLYMEANT YASSSSSSSSS
The timing is definitely suspect, especially with Marvel announcing "mystery" movies for 2020.
And the reports that Fox "always had the rights" so there was nothing to negotiate is false. We had Fox executives CONFIRMING that negotiations were in place.
So, yeah, a lot of smoke. But nothing is going to be announced today... or tomorrow... or until Fox knows for sure how much damage the Fant4stic movie did when the Blu-Ray sales shrivel up on the vine.
He's playing someone in Doctor Strange already.
Because they were not good lately. Put a good writer on them and they will sell good again.
I don't care. Cancel that role and put him into Doom.

No it wasn't. Fox always said they were in negotiations with Marvel. They didn't say it was for the TV rights. Even the original articles state that they were in negotiations to greenlight production of the series.

There's never been indication from Fox that they were negotiating for the TV rights themselves. That matter was supposed to have been settled with the Mutant X lawsuit years ago.

Believe me, I've gone through three entire google results pages of article and not one, not one, has a Fox person confirming that they are seeking TV rights to X-Men.
People just like jumping to conclusions.
The terms of the Mutant X lawsuit were undisclosed, but you don't "negotiate" for a property you own.
While I do think he's perfect for Doctor Doom NOW-most likely the role will be cast similarly in age to Reed Richards, and they'll probally skew younger.

Or just put that good writer on something else that has less property damage.
