‘X-Men’, ‘Fantastic Four’ And ‘Deadpool’ Are Definitely Coming To The MCU

But I know that’s not what you’re here for. You want to read about superheroes! If you can get past all the alarming implications of this possible monopoly, you can indeed take solace in the fact that the Fantastic Four, a team of heroes who have appeared in three different films with lackluster results, will probably, finally get to star in a good movie. As for Deadpool and the X-Men, that’s a stickier issue. X-Men already have an established franchise, though good luck trying to make narrative sense of it. Is the entry into the MCU going to essentially reboot things? We’ll have to wait and see. As for the R-rated Deadpool, that’s a property that clearly doesn’t fit within the established Disney brand, but Iger has confirmed that the future Deadpool MCU films will remain R-rated, and that there’s even a possibility of other R-rated MCU films in the future.
If you’re a fan of these characters, and have been dying to see then in the MCU, congrats! This is very good news for you. It’s also very good news for Disney, who will soon be able to buy the moon itself and attach giant mouse ears to it.
