It's OFFICIAL: Disney acquires 21st Century Fox; X-Men and FF are coming to the MCU

Long discussed and rumored and now FINALLY MADE OFFICIAL by the parties involved in the deal themselves, Disney has acquired key assets from 21st Century Fox - particularly their 20th Century Fox film, TV, and FX for a whopping $52.4 Billion. The deal won't include Fox's News Channel, Broadcasting, and sports channels... But this is SIGNIFICANT in the fact that the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" rights are now more or less back with Marvel - making it possible for Marvel Studios to incorporate the mutants and first family to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

While this is certainly all good on Marvel's side, it's also great for those looking for the ORIGINAL Star Wars 1977 theatrical release, which can FINALLY be added to a future collection before the tampered and remastered editions were made. There's plenty more to read about the details of this deal, which you can find via Superherohype.
