Fox creating its own interlocking Marvel movie universe, though Hugh Jackman doesn't sound too thrilled about it
Yesterday’s news cycle was more crowded with Marvel characters than your average Spider-Man film—beginning with the trailer for Amazing Spider-Man 2, continuing with Bryan Singer’s confirmation that X-Men: Apocalypse would be a part of Fox’s increasingly widespread mutant movie slate, and ending with the news that Simon Kinberg, already working on Days Of Future Past and the Fantastic Four reboot, had signed on to orchestrate Fox’s own interlocking movie universe for its Marvel characters. Obviously, there’s no doubt that Fox and Sony are planning to wring all they can out of the Marvel properties they own—something made even more obvious by Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Sinister Six tease, and the recent confirmation that many more Spider-Man spinoffs are in the works.
