It's a horrible deal and going to cost thousands of jobs by the end. All because Murdoch's sons are inept and need to be protected.

So I wouldn't expect any content to be greenlit before that final approval is made, so we won't be seeing anything come of this for up to two years now.

Of course there are reports out there now (reported on by the Nerdist) that Marvel won't get the FF rights back because Fox only owned distribution rights, not the IP rights, which are held by a German production company...PUNY HUMANS!Comment

This article says differently:
The Walt Disney Company has purchased parts of 21st Century Fox! With the deal, Disney buys 20th Century Fox and 20th Century Fox Television.
"The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love."sigpicComment

If the govt actually gets involved, it's going to be over distribution and production which is where thousands of jobs are at stake. But either way, the ip and library are gone to Disney. In fact, if things got real ugly and Disney was cracked into pieces, Marvel would spin off and have all its rights returned.Comment

^^^ Disney now has 60 percent of Hulu. They already had 30 percent thru ABC. Comcast has 30 and Time Warner has 10. If Disney plans to pull all of its product to its own streaming service, Hulu won't have much left content wise.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

One has to wonder WHY Lucas is so eager to DENY SW fans the one thing they truly want...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

because apparently, in his mind, the definitive version is what was released on Bluray in 2011 and he does not want the older versions out there. although didn't they release DVD versions a while back that had both the original and special editions and came with the comic book of the movie too?Comment
