Kinda confused if Comcast gets this deal would they own the rights to Avatar?
I think just distribution rights. Cameron’s company owns the creative license.Kinda confused if Comcast gets this deal would they own the rights to Avatar?
Wow that’s crazy I hope this deal goes through. More IP Universal can use for their parks.I think just distribution rights. Cameron’s company owns the creative license.
I guess Universal getting a cut every time someone buys a shoulder banshee in DAK is no weirder than Disney getting money every time someone buys a Hulk toy at IOA.

RIP fans who wanted Wolverine in the MCU.
They don't need to though to keep their rights to the Hulk character - at least as long as Marvel is using Hulk in the MCU. As long as Hulk appears on-screen, Universal's rights are safe from what I have heard.To be fair, what has Universal done with Hulk?

And honestly, who wants a Hulk movie that isn't connected to the MCU anyway? It would sort be like a meaningless bootleg at this point.

If Universal/Comcast does end up getting the Fox deal done, they will make a Deadpool attraction of some kind. I’d bet serious money on it.
Also, will this effect Park 4 at all? Or will Universal continue to finalize the plans for the park while waiting on the Fox deal?

Disney has no reason to do a Hulk movie through distribution with Universal though when they have been portraying the character on-screen in the MCU without Universal since 2012 (not counting the Edward Norton version in 2008, which was Universal distributed).If anything, the question should be directed towards Disney/Marvel rather than Universal which has no power to do anything with the green character.

Marvel has also managed to do a lot story-wise with Banner/Hulk despite not having distribution rights. They just chose to do it over the course of a few movies rather than work with Universal because again, there's no reason for them to. Hulk is best used the way we see him in the MCU anyway which is as a side character. Otherwise, he's pretty one-dimensional by himself.
Comcast acquiring Fox would be even worse than Disney because that leaves a major hole in the film industry. At least Disney intends on operating Fox similarly to how they're operating now; Universal has no benefit from having 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight, so they'll essentially be shuttered. Theaters will be playing less movies as a result. It's a bad deal regardless, but outside of Sky, Comcast gains very little from this.I'm actually really excited about the possibility of Comcast acquiring Fox instead of Disney. Monopoly or not, Disney acquires a bit too much companies/IPs that the general public already know, so Comcast really needs to have a share of some other companies/IPs too. After all, competition breeds quality, as we here recall the fact WWOHP blew Universal out of the water and helped the company in direct competition with the House of Mouse, which in return struck back with Star Wars Land. Comcast acquiring Fox would deliver a serious blow to Disney's own streaming service, as well as boosting Comcast's assets to its portfolio.

It's speculation, but realistically, why would Comcast continue operating them? There's no need for two major studios and two independent branches. Maybe they'd operate like New Line does at WB?Have they said this? Or is this speculation? It seems like the latter.
