i hope to high heaven this fails, and i like deadpool too, but it's more important that in a fiscal year, fox will have new fantastic four fail, and then have deadpool fail, maybe then they'll sell back the rights to disney/marvel.
No, it needs to do well. Then sequals need to bury it. If they make it and it fails outright, they will take it as a sign off the character doesn't work on film and no one will want to obtain the license. See ghost rider.
It was glossed over with the news about Deadpool movie, but the Fantastic Four reboot is getting bumped back, 7 weeks. Hardly the end of the world, but it's still a bump.
