With such a huge purchase on the horizon, maybe the folks at Marvel decided now would be a great time to relaunch the team’s book; that way if Disney does acquire Fox, there will be a Fantastic Four series ideally going strong if the MCU decides to release its own Fantastic Four movie.
While Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski said that they’d been waiting for the right “creatives” to become available for this Fantastic Four series, let’s not forget that last December, it was announced that Disney intends to purchase 21st Century Fox, and if that deal is finalized, that would mean that Marvel would regain the cinematic rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four properties.
