Colin Hickson, Comic Book Resources; Marvel's Kevin Feige Says It's 'Wonderful' to Have X-Men, FF Rights Back
"Despite their prominence in Marvel Comics, many fans were
disappointed that the X-Men and the Fantastic Four were not included in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe since their film rights were owned by 20th
Century Fox. However, with Disney's purchase of the rival studio, Marvel has regained access to the two franchises, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige couldn't be happier.
"The specifics of what it means remains to be seen, but overall
it's wonderful and it feels like these characters have come home", Feige
said in an interview with Variety.
"It will be nice to have what every other [intellectual property]
holder that I can think of has, which is access to all their IP.
Imagine
if Donald Duck was at another studio. Imagine if Goofy or Moana were
someplace else and you didn’t have access to them even though they are
yours.""
