Probably any "Marvel Event" is out of the question.] Complicating matters even further is the fact that both "Spider-Man:No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" deal heavily with the concept of the multiverse, which could blur the narrative lines even more until either a new deal is signed or this agreement runs its course. The X-Men almost rely more on Magneto than Charles anyway in the comics, as he has been a hero and villain, a leader and arch-enemy. Now, Marvel Studios can finally use this group in their movies.

Probably any "Marvel Event" is out of the question.] Complicating matters even further is the fact that both "Spider-Man:No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" deal heavily with the concept of the multiverse, which could blur the narrative lines even more until either a new deal is signed or this agreement runs its course. The X-Men almost rely more on Magneto than Charles anyway in the comics, as he has been a hero and villain, a leader and arch-enemy. Now, Marvel Studios can finally use this group in their movies.

The biggest disappointment when Disney acquired Fox came when the plannedDoctor Doom movie died. Outside of a handful of Netflix projects, there arent any real roaring successes directly produced by companies within the tech industry and you cant create great art, or even popular art, simply by throwing money at it, something Hollywood knows all too well. Fox Corporation will include the company's branded news, sports and entertainment assets: Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Sports, Fox Television Stations Group, and sports cable networks FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes and Big Ten Network.
