Hope not. The less overreaching control the modern Left Wing Dizzy corp has, the better. Right now Fox has the rights to several Marvel properties, specifically the X-Men and their spin-offs which were granted years before Dizzy got their controlling paws on Marvel.

Think about it, Dizzy Corp really hasn’t been able to generate a major hit out of all the Marvel properties they currently control since they aquired them after the first Avengers movie came out and now they want the X-Men.

Fox’s Deadpool made a ton of money and they’re about to release the sequel in a couple of months plus New Mutants (both X-Men spin-offs). If they don’t catch them now, it may be years before they get control away from those characters from Fox, which I consider a good thing.

I wouldn’t say they have had a hit since Avengers. They haven’t had a hit as BIG as Avengers, but that’s the 5th highest grossing movie in domestic release ever, you don’t really expect to do that regularly. They pretty much expect to get $250 million on the domestic front that’s pretty solid (and significantly better than the X-Men movies). Deadpool is the only X-Men movie to get into the area Marvel gets.

Now they do want X-Men back because they want it all back. They’re working hard to undo the fire sale. Disney will get it, they just have too much money to throw down to be denied.
