What was once thought to be only a dream has become reality. The X-Men, Deadpool and the Fantastic Four are now part of the MCU. Fox is selling part of its holdings, which includes the aforementioned heroes, to Disney. With Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart leaving the X-Men franchise, what will Disney do with it? In my opinion, they should reboot the franchise and formally add it to the MCU. That way they could have the Avengers and X-Men together in the same movie.
The Fantastic Four is in serious need of a reboot. The original movies with Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffyd and Michael Chiklis weren't bad. My chief complaint is primarily with the second movie's portrayal of Galactus. The most recent FF reboot was a disaster. Its piss poor portrayal of Doctor Doom as some kind of arrogant nature loving hippy did a disservice to the character. Hopefully the MCU will breathe new life into this franchise.
And good news for Deadpool fans. Everyone's favorite fourth wall breaking Merc with the Mouth will remain R rated. Fans had feared that Disney would censor Deadpool thus ruining the character's appeal.
The 13th Doctor made a very brief appearance at the end of the Doctor Who Christmas Special. This is the first female incarnation of the Doctor and she is being played by Jodie Whittaker. This has caused some online controversy with some fans saying that they'll never watch the show again. These people need to get over themselves.
