Bosco685 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Fox Hopeful About Live-Action X-Men TV Series "[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," Walden offered. As was previously mentioned, the potential live-action X-Men series is currently being written by the Star Trek Beyond writing team of Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne; 24's Evan Katz and Manny Coto will serve as showrunners. While Fox does own the movie rights to X-Men, Marvel and Disney would need to sign off on the deal for an X-Men TV series, with Walden noting the characters featured in the live-action X-Men series would be the characters exclusive to Fox. "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 said. "This will be exclusively the franchise as it has existed at Fox." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman28 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Am I crazy or is this supposed to be a X-Factor crime/investigation type show similar to Peter David's run. Could have sworn I read that somewhere a while back when the rumors first leaked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I align with others who have suggested Marvel use this as leverage to A) Regain the FF character rights and/or B) gain the usage of key X-Men characters for the Avengers films (Wolverine, Prof. X, Magneto). A seems like a very fair bargain at this point while B is fantastical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Uh-ohhhhh. Marvel Announces X-Men '92 As Ongoing Series On Thursday at the 2015 Diamond Retailer Summit in Baltimore, Maryland, Marvel Comics announced X-Men '92 will return as a new ongoing series in Spring 2016. Earlier this year, Marvel tapped into nineties-era nostalgia with X-Men '92, a Secret Wars miniseries. It had the look and feel of the popular animated series Fox's much-beloved X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran from 1992 to 1997. Chris Sims and Chad Bowers will continue to pen the series. It'll be illustrated by Alti Firmansyah (Star-Lord & Kitty Pryde) and David Nakayama will handle the cover artwork. Could this mean Marvel is not open to granting Fox live TV series rights if it is going to bring back this animated show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 RUMOR: Marvel Regains FANTASTIC FOUR Rights; First Movie Due Out In 2020 Could we finally see the Fantastic Four back under the Marvel Studios umbrella? That's what Den Of Geek is reporting, anyway. According to them the deal is done, and in exchange for Fox being allowed to develop the Legion and Hellfire TV shows, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch - and presumably all characters associated with them - will return home. This probably isn't that surprising given the critical and commercial disaster that Josh Trank's recent reboot became - but Fox did seem adamant that they were going ahead with a sequel, so perhaps they were just trying to throw people off the scent. DOG reckon this deal has been in the works for a while now. And here is the Den of Geeks exclusive article. FANTASTIC FOUR back at Marvel, movie planned for 2020? According to our source, Fox were given the TV rights for X-Men in exchange for Fantastic Four. The deal's been in the works for some time, we're told, and further, the timing of Marvel's recent announcement of its movie slate leading up to the year 2020 and the X-Men TV series is no coincidence. You may remember that there are three, so-far untitled films on Marvel's schedule in five years' time. We're told that one of those films is a Fantastic Four movie. We don't have an independent source to back this claim up, so we'll have to treat it with a certain amount of caution for now. But given the reception Fantastic Four received earlier this summer, it makes sense that Fox would be receptive to the idea of a deal with Marvel, particularly if it meant wresting something as major and lucrative as the X-Men TV rights from Marvel's grasp. And one of the article comments hits home with the real value win here. Getting Silver Surfer, Dr. Doom and Galactus back in time for Infinity War would be ideal!

If the X-Men TV rights drove this final action, I hope whatever Fox has planned makes it well worth it. What was done to the Fantastic Four brand right now is a tragedy.

Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) It looks like all the negotiation over X-Men TV rights goes back to an old case between Marvel and Fox. TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION v. MARVEL ENTERPRISES, INC. Argued: October 10, 2001 Decided: January 14, 2002 "... The Agreement reserved all television rights to Marvel, subject to a proviso, critical to Fox's pending contract claim, that Marvel would not "produce, distribute or exploit or authorize the production, distribution or exploitation of any live-action motion picture" without Fox's consent (the "Freeze")." - The "Mutant X" TV Series. In the summer of 2000, Marvel and Tribune entered into an agreement to develop a live-action television series, originally to be called "Genome X" and then changed to "Mutant X," involving characters that were the product of genetic splicing experiments gone awry. In November 2000, Tribune and Fireworks agreed to cooperate on the financing, production, and distribution of the TV series. - The Instant Action. In April 2001, Fox filed the instant lawsuit, claiming that the Defendants violated its intellectual property rights in the "X-Men" film and associated marketing and branding efforts by marketing and producing the "Mutant X" television series, whose concept, premise, and characters Fox alleges are virtually identical to those of the "X-Men" film. Further, Fox claims that in violating the contractual "Freeze," Marvel has created a "knock-off" product to "cash in" on Fox's efforts, thereby cheapening the value of Fox's film and associated marketing opportunities, inducing purchasers of TV programming and the public to believe that the "Mutant X" TV series is associated with Fox's film, and diminishing the market for Fox's planned sequel(s) to the "X-Men" film.

Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I didn't realize the court results of the Mutant X TV series was that Marvel retains the TV rights. But they have to work out any productions with Fox first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
