Fiege confirmed last summer that he had "vague" ideas for the FF and X-Men.

Marvel's Kevin Feige has "vague ideas" for the X-Men and Fantastic Four
With Kevin Feige out and about on the press tour for Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Los Angeles Daily News managed to grab a few words from the Marvel Studios chief about the impending Disney takeover of Fox, although Feige’s response will sound very familiar to those who’ve been following...

Fixed that for you.

Everything in the article points to Feige saying those vague ideas are a long time away.
Which makes anyone reporting what those ideas are... a wishful thinker.
Quite literally what I was about to say.

Is that good or bad?
I'm not sure someone else will need to chime in but I wonder if the pay cut is to help cover the recent fox law suit? And their using the fox deal to cover it.
THR reports that the change won't go into effect until the deal closes which is even weirder.

In most deals like this, there tends to be some escrow fund or other fund to cover unexpected expenses arising from lawsuites, etc, for a period of time. I suspect that New Fox will be somewhat liable for this or that there's a fund like this. I doubt Disney will be completely on the hook, even if this lawsuite doesn't get overturned (which it might).

Televisa contests endorsement of Disney-Fox: March 5, 2019 VIA GOOGLE TRANSLATE
Subsidiaries of Grupo Televisa filed three writs of amparo to challenge the authorization of the Federal Economic Competition Commission (Cofece) for the merger between The Walt Disney Company and Twenty First Century Fox.
This authorization, issued by the Plenary of the Cofece on January 31 in the CNT-126-2018 file, only refers to the markets of film distribution, licensing for streaming, music, live shows, books and video games. The Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT) has yet to authorize the merger in the telecommunications and broadcasting markets, the most important for Televisa, and the case could be discussed tomorrow by the Plenary of that regulatory body.
The challenge against the decision of Cofece were admitted today to proceeding by the Second Specialized Judge in Telecommunications. Silvia Cerón, summoned to the Cofece and the Disney-Fox group so that they appear in the judgment tomorrow (March 6th). In these trials it was not requested to suspend the effects of the authorization of Cofece. In addition to the resolution of Cofece, Televisa questioned the constitutionality of Article 90, third fraction, of the Federal Law of Economic Competition, which establishes the powers of Cofece to collect information before authorizing a merger, both of the merging companies and third parties.
During the proceeding before Cofece, Televisa tried to be given participation as an interested party, which the regulator rejected on October 1. This rejection caused another protection, which is also in process. Televisa expressed "its interest in not having anti-competitive effects in the markets in which it participates", both before Cofece and the IFT, which also refused to recognize it as an interested party.
The IFT also rejected, on January 11, a Televisa complaint for "illicit concentration of audiovisual content" in the Disney-Fox operation, valued at more than 71 billion dollars globally. It is expected that for IFT's permission, Disney, which owns the ESPN sports network, agrees to sell Fox Sports in Mexico, just as it did in Brazil, where the operation was authorized last week.

This is Mexico......It is hard to read between the lines..... Best I can tell, is Disney did get approval on January 31st for Non Sports. Televisa is challenging the COFECE authority to make the decision..... Most importantly, Televisa is not requesting that the approval be suspended, so I am thinking the Judge is ruling on the appeal (prior decisions in October and January went against Televisa), as to the COFECE's authority to make the decision.
I tried to paste the translation as exactly as Google Translate presented it..... What do you think?
