Fox Confirm Plans For X-MEN TV Series...If Marvel Lets Them Make It

[loyola llothta]

You may recall that there were talks some time ago about an X-MenTV series being in development at Fox, and it sounds like it may be going ahead...if Marvel gives them the green light! While the comic publisher doesn't own the movie rights to the characters, they do obviously hold the comic book ones, and it will be up to them to decide whether or not to allow Fox to make the show. "[For] X-Men, we're in negotiations with Marvel. We're hopeful we'll be able to announce something soon. We're not closed on a deal yet but it's something we're definitely pursuing," Fox Television Group chairman and CEO Dana Walden told The Hollywood Reporter earlier today.

The show is being written by Star Trek 3's Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne, while Evan Katz and Manny Coto will serve as the showrunners and be credited as its creators. "The characters from the X-Men franchise are with Fox on the feature side so we won't be including Marvel characters that are at ABC with Disney," Walden confirmed when asked if this deal means we'll see the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Daredevil meet the X-Men. "This will be exclusively the franchise as it has existed at Fox." That's to be expected, but what will Marvel get out of this deal? It could be something as simple as a promise that this show won't air on the same night as one of the Marvel ones on ABC, but perhaps Marvel will ask for the chance to use certain character in the MCU like Galactus and Silver Surfer? After all, they gave Fox the chance to keep Daredevil in exchange for them!

I think they'd give them the rights anyways if this movie bombs. They really haven't done anything with the franchise and if/when this movie bombs the public will have lost confidence in them as a movie studio to produce a good F4 movie.

After Gotham I'm not really interested in another cape show from fox plus the X-Men need a good special effects budget that you won't get on tv.

Well than you can pretty much end the thread. Why would Marvel co-sign Fox doing an X-men show?

 

[MartyMcFly]

I'd love to see it. I do think you need a bigger budget for something like x men though.

Marvel's like what you willing to give??

 

[FLATOP]

Why dont Fox just crossover Xmen and Fantastic Four villains only?

Xmen done been to space before plenty of times. They can fight Galactus, Skrulls, Kang, Silver Surfer, etc

As far as this show goes just give em a bunch of money instead of trading character rights
