I'm pretty sure after the "DON'T LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS!" marketing that went along with the first film, that most parents are in the know about the graphic nature of his films, plus there are enough places/ways to check ratings - and even get an idea of content - that if a kid ends up seeing an R-rated film, the parents are totally oblivious. We have 2 sons - 13 and 8 - who love the Marvel movies, but have shown literally zero interest in Deadpool even though we own both on blu ray. I attribute their lack of interest being due to the fact that 1) we've not hyped the films to them at all, and 2) we've made it clear that they're for adults (they happened to spot one of the movies on a table after we bought it), and 3) the films are literally NEVER playing on any TV in the house unless the boys are in bed. IF Marvel decides to use Deadpool in any MCU films and they fall under the PG-13 rating, the boys will likely see them.
Of all the families we know, we're literally the only ones that buy all the Marvel films on disc/digital. Everyone else seems to limit themselves to their favorite characters, and most really don't give a hoot about Deadpool or even really know who he is (aside from his movies being a no-no for the kiddos).
I probably should know better asking here (because everybody will give their opinion rather than any actual facts), but does anybody know of any current fox properties contract end dates with any of the streaming services. Probably a tough task, but it would be neat to see a list (xyz contracts expire in 2020, while pqr expire in 2021...)

My guess is that Disney themselves are just finding out the answers to those questions this morning. These mergers are locked down tight and information like that would have been kept extremely confidential.

If it was up to me I would create a Marvel Knights or Marvel MAX label for R rated affairs that take place in the MCU. Probably a subsidiary of Marvel Studios. The Marvel Studios logo and usual fanfare with Cap throwing his shield and whatnot would not play for these movies and it would have its own logo and fanfare.
For crossovers if it takes place in the normal Marvel studios, then that particular character would have to be a PG-13 character (i.e no profanity or blood).

The only certain one is new theatrical releases with HBO which runs through 2022 (like the Disney netflix one that expired last year). Other syndicate ones are hard to find and no one knows for sure, but there are plenty out there that will be expiring over the next few years. Remember TW has SW streaming until 2024, so these deals are usually long term.

HBO and Fox cut a deal to keep the movies flowing through 2022, HBO Nordic launches soon
Just in case you only thought Amazon, Netflix and Redbox were working the studio deals, HBO announced today it's worked out an extension of its agreement with 20th Century Fox. Already the "premium network home" of Fox flicks for more than 30 years, this deal is long enough to keep it going into...

Irrelevant. Stupid people cause legitimate PR problems for companies all the time. When the outrage mob comes to Twitter, Iger isn't going to be able to get away with the argument that "idiot parents should have known better."
Of course you and I know that's the real answer, but that's not how PR works.

no because we need to talk about how disney buying fox will somehow lead to disney buying out the marvel theme park rights!!1111!!! it's common sense!
Now I won't stop coming on the thread completely now the deal has completed. I probably will pop on every now and again, but not as regularly, to find out about what it leads to. I can turn my attention to park related threads now.
I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been playing a part in this thread for a year and a bit. It's kept me in the loop, and enabled me to contribute my part, while learning a lot from others too.
Thank you all.

THR are saying F4 and X-Men wont appear in the MCU till at least 2021. Black Panther 2 is due in 2021 maybe Storm will be the 1st mutant?

X-Men Franchise Poised for Shake-Up as Fox’s Marvel Heroes Migrate to Disney
After the Disney deal for Fox closes, Marvel Studios' cinematic universe will have access to classic characters that were once key pillars to the publishing division.

That's a lot of guess work on their part. Not saying it isn't accurate, but maybe Feige is sitting on a F4 script...

Fox Sports wasn't part of the deal.. the regional sports network stuff was. Fox Sports stayed with the new Fox Corp

Couldn’t they add mutants into the MCU tv shows like Agents of Shield, Runaways, and Cloak & Dagger along with original MCU shows based off lesser known mutants like Firestar while integrating The Gifted into the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

They certainly can but I don't expect them to. Shield is in production and will wrap up for good soon. More likely is that you will be able to hear the term Mutant. Maybe we will see one. It won't be A-list though.

What is funny to me is that this deal was really positioned as being for Disney+.... BUT barely anything they acquired is actually going to Disney+? I can't imagine that nothing of Fox makes its way there.
If anything this deal was more to create a robust Hulu that Disney owns?
I kind of hope Hulu/Disney+ are packaged. Or maybe they should have just gone with a single unified platform.

I think Deadpool will be more tied to the MCU than Fox tied him to the mainline X-men in his first two go arounds. But I kind of doubt it will be a full two-way street. Meaning it won't be essential viewing canon for the team up movies.
I just can't see him being included in one of the tentpole (Avengers) movies. Maybe X-men, Maybe Guardians.
But Deadpool 3 will totally be rife with MCU jokes, cameos and probably a fourth wall breaking acquisition acknowledgement.

Well, there's production houses and there are distributors. Just like when Disney used to distribute under Touchstone or under Disney depending on the branding and rating, a Fox-related studio could crank out family fare but then be 'distributed' and thus 'branded' by Disney theatrically or streamingly. Also, while those brands are going to be associated with D+, it doesn't stop other content from showing up. There are shows on the Disney channel not produced in any way by Disney.
But, yeah, most of Fox will head to Hulu.

Fair point. In other words even if Fox doesn't spin down production that much, probably a chunk of their appropriate movies will be distributed by Disney moving forward.
I just expect things like Home Alone, Greatest Showman, The Kid who would be King to wind up on Disney+, not Hulu. The Avatar movies feel Disney+ bound.
What really gets tricky is where does the R-rated Marvel fare wind up.
