Too late for Hugh Jackman :(...should have done this 15 years ago...

Didn't he say that he might come back if the X-men crossed over with the Avengers tho?

reply

No, he said that had it happened before Logan he would have done it but this is it, the end, finito, done.

reply

Damn. That's frustrating, they really cheated him out of this one.

reply

Kind of sad since X-Men doesnt need the MCU.

And the MCU certainly doesn’t need the X-Men. (Screw it, they’re align now like they should be.) However now that the mutants officially belong to Marvel again, first of all: they are home. :) Second of all, so many extraordinary and exciting things can happen as a result of this. And thirdly, although Fox has a few great X-Men movies to their credit... they changed the game with Deadpool and Logan (the upcoming The New Mutants as well)... I’m willing to bet the MCU/Disney can put out consistently good X-Men films—unlike Fox. That said I don’t see a crossover with The Avengers happening immediately, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Anyway, not every Marvel fan will rejoice over this news, especially those who believe Disney won’t go ahead with R rated superhero movies - even though they have multiple distribution companies that produce R rated films. But any way you slice it, this is monumental and long overdue.

Well, said.

I saw a post that said Ripley is now a Disney princess.

reply

I'd make her the evil Queen. She sort of was in a movie.
