The Fantastic Four is great - not even counting the whole "Marvel's First Family" and all that - the problem is Fox hires The Tweedles to write and produce movies for them. Their film rights revert back to Marvel every 10 years, so you get garbage released like that 2015 abomination in order for the rights to stay with Fox.
Now that Disney is buying Fox, they can bring the FF in (along with the X-Men franchise) to the MCU. It will be interesting how they manage that.
At this point once that deal is finalized, the only big ticket IP that Marvel still doesn't have the movie rights to will be Spider-Man, as it's still owned by Sony.
The Denis Villeneuve artistry was the best part of Sicario, but I am still very on board with a franchise that abandons artistry in favor of turning Benicio Del Toro into Narco John Wick.
There’s boring, there’s bad, and then there’s “Bright,” a movie so profoundly awful that Republicans will probably try to pass it into law over Christmas break. From the director of “Suicide Squad” and the writer of “Victor Frankenstein” comes a fresh slice of hell that somehow represents new lows for them both — a dull and painfully derivative ordeal that that often feels like it was made just to put those earlier misfires into perspective. The only thing more predictable than this high-concept police story is the idea that a year as punishing as 2017 would save the worst for last. At least “The Emoji Movie” owned up to the fact that it was just putting [expletive] on screen; at least “The Emoji Movie” had the courtesy to dress it up in a bowtie.

I liked the two Chris Evans-featuring instalments, honestly. It needs to be a bit camp, but it can work as a live-action property.

And Spider-Man Marvel can use him for the MCU since they currently have a deal worked out between the two studios.
