5 Huge Ramifications Of Fantastic Four Being A Total Disaster

2. The Rights Could Go Back To Marvel

You have to admire Sony: they realised that they had no idea what to do what the Spider-Man franchise, and decided to hand over the keys to the series to the people who would most likely do the character justice on the big screen. That being Marvel Studios, who - in a totally unexpected move - agreed to make the next rebooted Spider-Man film in cohorts with Sony Pictures so that Peter Parker could enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Woo! It was a brave move for the studio, essentially admitting that they had little clue how to make Spider-Man great - something that was made clear by way of the very sub-par The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which felt like a giant "meh" wrapped up in a superhero flick. Now that Fantastic Four has fallen by the wayside, praying for somebody to put it out of its misery, you have to wonder whether 20th Century Fox might be considering the same deal with Marvel. Could the Fantastic Four head home to where they belong? To a place where they'd be given the respect that they deserve, and a movie that does them justice? It certainly seems like a good idea, but are there pitfalls to this seemingly perfect situation? First off, you have to consider that whilst Marvel might want the rights to the Fantastic Four back, they might not have any wishes to actually make a movie out of the characters (which could mean that the next Fantastic Four incarnation gets stuck in limbo forever). Secondly (and perhaps more importantly), the MCU is super huge already - adding in a further four superheroes could really take its toll: the last thing you want is overcrowding, after all.
