"Before and after Disney-Fox transaction"
Situation with Studios 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlights
Before discussing all the favorite superheroes, it is worth talking about what: 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight to this day remained among the few film studios, which were filmed by the "adult" cinema (and "adult" not in the sense of presence of bed scenes). Now both of these studios belong to the company, which, if you look at the list of films manufactured by it, is interested exclusively in blockbusters.
Fox Searchlight Over the past few years, has managed to release such sensory paintings as "Black Swan", "12 years of slavery", "Berdman", "Hotel Grand Budapest", recent "Water form" and "Secret Dossier" - "adults" , "Smart" dramas, who fascinated critics and became the favorites of Oscar, but under the definition of "blockbusters" are not exactly accurate.
Does Disney Save this policy Fox Searchlight or "rolling" production of such films, continuing to adhere to the tendency to produce large-budget blockbusters, calculated on the most popular audience?
At the current chapter disney Bob Aiger an accurate answer to the question whether the same Fox Searchlight will remain an independent unit until there is:
"We will proceed to implement the plans for integration, after which clarity will appear about how the organization will look like."
A good news can be attributed to the fact that Aiger supported the prospect of continuing to work on the "adult" cinema that makes the basis of Fox Searchlight. However, the support of Aiger does not mean that for Fox Searchlight and the films produced by it will not change.
People of X and Dismissal of the Trinity Lawrence-McEevo-Fassbender
Those who have rejoiced Marvel superheroes for the last few days in their native fenats, rejoiced somewhat hurried. According to the last rumors, Disney, going to enter the people of X in a filmmaker MCU, to begin with recoxting. In other words, following Hugh Jackman, who finished himself very busy with the role of Wolosakh, "on peace" from the Music of the Music of the ISS will go to the current Star Troika of the main heroes in the person of Jennifer Lawrence, James Makwema and Michael Fassbander.
Literally the other day, insiders started talking about the fact that after the complete transfer of rights to X-Men to Disney with Lawrence, Macovem, Fassbender and a number of other stars X-MEN franchise, the company says goodbye - primarily due to allegedly too expensive contracts. Technically, dismissal is quite possible, since all these actors concluded contracts only on one film (now - to the coming "X-Men: Dark Phoenix").
There are no official confirmations of this information yet.
Dadpool and his "adult" rating
One of the truly good news for the fans of Deadpool is that even after the transition to Disney, this franchise will retain the characteristic "adult" tone and "adult" the same rating of R. Bob Iger has already confirmed that the identity of Dajpula will be saved , and the presence of a mandatory "adult" rating of this is not a hindrance - in the end, you can always create a separate brand of the MARVEL-R type.
Rob Laifeld, to whom Deadpool fans, are obliged to create this superhero, confident that the "adult" rating "Dadpula" will be able to save:
"Bob Iger did not accidentally raise Disney for an unprecedented level of success in history. This person has an understanding. He understands culture and, more importantly, understands the fears of fans. [...] Put the hand on the heart, why disney intervene in that success, which Ryan Reynolds has already achieved as Deadpool? "
Colleague supports James Gann, director of "Guardians of the Galaxy", referring to the words of the Aiger himself:
"Yes, in response to all panic tweets that have been addressed to me this morning -" Deadpool "will retain Rating R»
Yes, to Answer All Your Panicked Tweets At Me This Morning, Deadpool Will Stay R-Rated. https://t.co/scchsijhvx.

Other Superhero Initiatives FOX
If the clarity with the "Deadpool" is more or less, then the other superhero films Fox, from the upcoming "new mutants" to the "Gambit", to which everything can not start Channing Tatum, automatically find themselves in question. Disney, as we have already mentioned, makes a bet on "proven" blockbusters, and not on risky new projects that can be "shoot", like the same "Deadpool" and fall at the box office.
Mark Millar, the author of Marvel comic (among his work - the first "citizen" and a series of comics about the fantastic four), expresses similar doubts:
"Sequel film with a budget of $ 55 million, which earned 800 million, is not a risk. I personally fear that the risky projects of the "Deadpool" type will now not be. We'll see".
A Sequel to a $ 55m Movie That Made $ 800m is not a risk. My Concern Is That A Gamble Like Deadpool Will Not Happen Now. We'll See. https://t.co/7intn6ixfn.

Fantastic Four and "Return home"
Insiders say that with the return of rights to the fantastic four back Marvel, this most superheroic four will try again to conquer the big screen - however, because of the failure attempt to "reanimate" the franchise in 2015 it will happen so quickly.
In addition, again, according to insiders, the consequences of the disney-Fox transaction can touch off "Avengers 4" - the ensemble blockbuster Marvel, the release of which is scheduled for May 2019. Avengers 4 must summarize the entire previous history of the film and at the same time become the beginning of the beginning That is completely new, as Kevin Faigi mentioned earlier, Marvel head. Now insiders say that editors can be made to the blockbuster scenario in connection with the return of superhero rights - and someone from the "returnees" can join the Avengers team in 2019.
A bit of apocalyptic forecasts
Healthy competition is good, and media consolidation is, by and large, always bad. A long time ago, we did not hear about the disappearance from the market by a truly large Hollywood film studio, and now the 20th Century Fox, which, at first glance, was not there any problems, so simply disney was absorbed. "Akula" of the Hollywood business "eat" each other, and it may well occur such that, as in some film about the post-apocalyptic future, "only one will remain."
With the acquisition of Disney Assets Fox, for example, we can easily present the future in which all the media content - be it movies, TV shows, news programs, any television shows are monitored by three-four global corporations with all the resulting. Are you afraid? So we do not care.
