Disney Bought 21st Century Fox, Here Are the Franchises They Got (And BETTER Not Wreck!)
Could be worse?
I don't know. First Disney bought the Star Wars franchise, now they've bought 21st Century Fox.
So which franchise are under Mickey's umbrella now?
*deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath*
"X-Men", "The Fantastic Four", "The Simpsons", "Family Guy", "Planet of the Apes", "Avatar", "Die Hard", "Predator", "Independence Day", "The Maze Runner", "Percy Jackson", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Night at the Museum","Ice Age","Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Home Alone", "24", "American Horror Story", "Empire", "Homeland", "The X-Files", "This Is Us", "Wolverine"...and "Deadpool".
Those last two are especially worrisome. Why? They're R-rated franchises and Disney doesn't do R-rated movies. A PG-13 Deadpool is a lame Deadpool.
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is taking the news in stride...
The Simpsons had a more aggressive reaction...
And then Mickey struck back...
It also turns out that The Simpsons predicted this predicament 20 years ago.
Just don't ruin Deadpool, Disney.
