I cant help but wonder if Comcast had got Fox would there be such a focus on the layoffs in the press or is it because everyone likes to make Disney look like the big old bad guy?

Comcast is one the the companies Americans love to hate. I’ve heard many horror stories about their customer service.

It’s an older link sir, but it checks out:

Many companies on this list are struggling with discrete incidents that may be remedied with time and strategic public relations campaigns.

It's over.

All the films announced this year from Disney and friends is coming out this year, though, a few dates may be shuffled.

Looks like Blue Sky will continue as is with their projects in the pipeline.

Other than that, nothing about 2020 or further.

Wonder if theyll confirm any of marvel's 2020 slate. Since everyone knows its Black Widow and Eternals.

Feige said this in Feb:

"As we've been doing for years, we aren't going to announce anything post Avengers: Endgameor Spider-Man [Far From Home] until post Endgame and Spider-Man," Feige told ComicBook.com at a press event for Captain Marvel. "As you know as a fan, there's a tremendous amount of potential and a tremendous amount of additional characters and storylines and groups of characters that we're going to keep playing with. And again, that's a testament to Marvel and to the amount of storylines and characters and amazing, amazing runs that have been in the Marvel comics."

So they may hold off on any Marvel Studios announcements until D23 in August. Not to mention the Expo is from August 23-25 and by that time New Mutants (August 2nd) will have been released thus ending the Fox era.

Makes lot of sense with Fox to have a few big tent pole franchises like Aliens, kingsman, planet of the apes but I wonder if it means rebooting or not.

I think this year will be a bit of Disney ‘taking out the trash’ in terms of films that Fox would have finished anyway before pushing it more in their way next year

I meant that the press are annoyed at the marvel fans for only caring about the marvel rights and not thinking of the bigger picture.

I think you read too much into what the press does.

 

[Elizabeth Swann]

I for one am excited about more Kingsman movies. I think they are so fun.

With Spies in Disguise it’s going to take a while getting used to the Blue Sky Studios intro shown after the Disney intro.

Yeah, but I bet they'll skip the Ice Age squirrel part of the intro.

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

Yeah, but I bet they'll skip the Ice Age squirrel part of the intro.

Most likely not since Scrat is the mascot of Blue Sky Studios.

 

[Disney Irish]

Most likely not since Scrat is the mascot of Blue Sky Studios.

What if they have Scrat whistling the Steam Boat Willie tune....
