I typically don't like to see anything fail, but this is the sort of phuckery that we fans, need to stand up to, with our wallets, the only thing corporations give a crap about. And thus far, it looks like mission accomplished.

Honestly, putting the Fan4 rights and Marvel thing aside, they basically told us what little respect they were gonna treat the source material from the very beginning. It was always clear what this was going to be. They interviewed Kate Mara asking her more about the character of Sue Storm, and she sat there looking stupid not knowing shit. They got what they deserved and they should not be getting money for giving us garbage.
The cool thing (no pun intended) is that if you google Fantastic Four right now, the third result that pops up is an online petition to force Fox to sell the rights back to Marvel Studios. I signed the petition and for anyone wanting to see the FF and it's ensemble of characters done right; you should sign it too!

Question is if Marvel would buy it back, or just wait it out and get it for free now. The franchise has been destroyed, so I doubt anyone sane at Fox would green light a sequel or a reboot in the next 5-7 years.
On the other hand Marvel might not want to take the risk, and I doubt they would have to pay much for it considering the financial worth of the franchise is Nil right now.
They might go after the Thing to set up the New Avengers. They are not keeping the current cast for another faze, not after Downey Jr. leaves anyway. Although they might have some of the original group showing up for a cameo or two in later films.
PS: If they ever manage to get Wolverine from Fox to join the Thing, Spider-man and Luke Cage at least for one New Avengers movie DC won't be able to compete with that.

Fox rushing a project forward with no clear vision sounds familiar , but Trank also comes off as standoffish and uncooperative. And what's up with causing $100,000 worth of damage to the house you're staying in??
