Thursday... and it's Tuesday with you guys, right?
This whole thing could lead to an MCU Alpha Flight movie. That's all I want. :)
Well it’s official. The mouse takes one step closer to owning everything haha
X-Men (Alpha Flight) & FF return to Marvel!
I am so happy!
I can't wait to see Alpha Flight on the big screen and Marvel can stop trying to make the Inhumans like the X-Men.

It isn't necessarily a good thing.
We'll have to see how it goes.
We now have confirmation from the head of Disney himself, CEO Bob Iger, that Deadpool can remain R-rated at Disney. In fact, if Iger's comments are any indication, this acquisition and, more specifically, gaining Deadpool indicate a willingness by Disney to branch out into the R-rated film business.

At last! A good Fantastic Four movie.
That's got to happen. :D
Thanks for keeping watch, Sas17.
(Also, possibly an Alpha Flight movie, but that's not as inevitable as a Fantastic Four movie.)

I like the possibilities for Alpha Flight now, but still keeping my expectations low....
From here, anything is possible. I keep reminding myself that Guardians Of The Galaxy got a movie (and a thumpin' good'un, too!)
Then again, it's possible we'll get a bad Alpha Flight movie. Or worse, a great movie that's called Alpha Flight, but... isn't.
Still, I'm holding out hope. I'm certainly glad we're now unlikely to get a Fox Alpha Flight movie. I'm one of the few hold-outs who still likes the X-Men movies, but I don't think their style is suited to Alpha Flight.
