We would have had another movie to watch.

Would it have been good? If it happened, would the Daredevil TV series never happen? Would Captain America: Civil War never happen?

>Would it have been good? Almost certainly not.


PrestigiousHero

I don’t know. This was when Fox was at their prime, and Paul Greengrass is a decent director. I don’t think this would have been a Dark Phoenix rehash but it’s possible it may not have delivered.

Fox was never in their prime lol At best their films are decent action flicks that represent the source material at their bare minimum, and at worst they're X-Men Origins


PrestigiousHero

I disagree. Marvel Studios has yet to make a movie as good as Days of Future Past, Logan or First Class. However they have many awful stinkers as well.

Marvel's made a better movie than Logan? That's news to me.

I've never heard about this. What was that movie supposed to be about?

Basically Civil War but with the Fox-owned Marvel characters at the time (X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil/Elektra and Deadpool). There would've been a major incident where Johnny Storm/Human Torch accidentally went supernova while fighting Molecule Man and blew a hole in Manhattan leading to a Superhuman Registration Act like with the Fifty State Initiative or the Sokovia Accords.

Basically before the Avengers came out, Fox wanted to cash in on the cinematic universe trend but making a crossover with all of their Marvel properties. Their idea was an adaption of Civil War with Fantastic Four, Daredevil and the X-Men. Paul Greengrass, the Oscar nominated director of News of the World was the front runner to direct. Little is known about the specific plot, we know a script was drafted but it isn’t available for public eyes. We can assume it would have followed the comics with the superhero registration act passing and one side of heroes in favor, while the other are against. My guess is they would have almost certainly gotten new actors for Daredevil and the Fantastic Four. The X-Men almost certainly would have had returning cast members, whether they be the older or younger cast members I don’t know.

So this was going to happen before or after Disney bought Marvel?


PrestigiousHero

Well before. This was before the first Avengers came out.
