Disney owns the film rights to Marvel's Fantastic Four now, but the company would be wise not to rush it straight to theaters.
It's unknown how Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige plans to utilize the characters, but after several theatrical disappointments over a 15-year period, the Fantastic Four could be difficult to sell to audiences.
While that's a daunting responsibility, at least"X-Men" — and its self-aware spin-off"Deadpool" — has been lucrative."Fantastic Four" is a different story.Created in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four are regarded as"Marvel's First Family." The team includes Reed Richards , his wife Susan Storm , her brother Johnny , and Reed's best friend Ben Grimm , who are given superpowers after being exposed to cosmic radiation.
Fox has made three"Fantastic Four" movies since 2005, none of which were resounding success stories. Meanwhile, Fox's"X-Men" franchise went through some very low lows , but it also hit some epic highs , and ushered in the modern age of superhero movies back in 2000.
