Disney in talks to buy Fox. What could this mean for Alien and Predator?

[Voodoo Magic]

What Hicks said. There's no general consensus.

It's nothing like how Predator 2 smashes Predators in the polls. Now that's a landslide!

Spoiler

[close]

It's a done deal!

Fox announced when it goes into effect:

The Walt Disney Company's ("Disney") acquisition of 21CF will become effective at 12:02 a.m. Eastern Time tomorrow, March 20, 2019.

No thank you. ADF's mediocre.
And the original novel (Origins)' garbage, and a no good indicator.

Origins was crap, but ADF is anything but mediocre.

They should've let him do the david/shaw juggernaut journey.

Colossal waste of talent and time writing that origins novel.

Well the merger is official. Disney n Fox are one. Happy birthday to me

We have not yet witnessed ADF's final form. He has always been too limited by what Fox dictates his novels must follow. He proved he deserves to write an original idea of his own with aliens by what he did on the Alien Covenant novelization.

Not yet!  Two and a half hours to go till Xeno's giggle when you tickle!

I have doubts that things could get any worse.

So how long until Dark Horse's A & P license deal runs out and A & P like Star Wars moves over to Marvel comics. (Not thrilled).

100% sure Disney will let him go wild with a novel.

I voted alien

I didn't figure there was any point in voting for predator after what just happened with the last film. I imagine Disney saw that as a clear sign to stay away.

Xmen is in the lead, naturally. C'mon, we've had tons of those films already. Enough teen superheroes, give us sci-fi horror.

[Nukiemorph]

We all know X-Men is going to be their top priority anyway.  It shouldn't even be on this poll.

It's 24% to 11% in favor of fantastic 4 over Alien.

Fantastic 4?

I fear for our species and the art of film.

Listen to you. The same thing can be said of Alien Covenant. Just say you voted Alien cuz you love Alien.

And this new Terminator greenlit so soon after the Terminator Genisys debacle gives me hope for both franchises.

We've had enough good Alien movies, we can die in peace. We're still to have a single Fantastic 4 good movie.

Fair point!
