List of unproduced 20th Century Fox projects based on Marvel Comics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of unmade and unreleased projects based on Marvel Comics produced by 20th Century Fox. Fox formerly held the film production rights to the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Elektra and Deadpool. Between 2000 and 2020, multiple films and television series were produced as part of the X-Men film series, in addition to a Daredevil and Elektra film (2003-05), two Deadpool films (2016-18) and three Fantastic Four films (2005-07; 2015).
In October 2012, the Daredevil film rights reverted to Disney after several unsuccessful attempts to reboot the film franchise, thereby giving Marvel Studios creative control over the character and associated characters such as Elektra.[1] An unrelated Daredevil television series was produced by Marvel Television between 2015 and 2018, set in the studio's Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise.[2] In March 2019, The Walt Disney Company closed its merger with 21st Century Fox, acquiring multiple entertainment licenses formerly held by the firm, including the film rights to the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, which likewise reverted to Marvel Studios.[3] Various Marvel-based films at various stages of development were placed "on hold" and eventually canceled altogether by Disney following the acquisition,[4] with any future projects featuring the characters set to be produced by Marvel Studios and integrated into the MCU where applicable.[5]
