They have a huge opportunity to show that although the movies are separate, the characters exist in the same universe. It seems like they're only using the two characters as a way of telling Marvel "Hey, you can't have them. But if you really want them, then we'll get them first."

It truly is lame and childish.

Well, unless I'm missing something, there's nothing barring Marvel from casting the same actor in the role of Quicksilver... I mean, I can't think of a situation where terms disallowing you from working for someone else after your obligations are up would be deemed reasonable...?

It won't happen, Whedon will cast someone else

A crossover is very unlikely at this point. As much as we'd like it, it wouldn't make sense from a business standpoint. Marvel and Fox are competing with one another. The only way I see it working out is if a third party offers a monetary incentive or both studios work out a mutually-beneficial deal. The only hope I had left for a crossover was Fox's right to the X-Men characters eventually expiring. I guess that will never happen.

Disney will eventually buy all the rights back from everyone. But thats not going to happen until superhero movies are not super-red-hot anymore, which doesn't look like it will be anytime soon.

Disney could probably do it now if they wanted

i have no hope for this film.. they couldn't do a coherent story for the first ones, what chance do they have when they're messing with time lines too, pity Joss Whedon wasn't doing it...

I would up for a Whedon X-Men film but sadly it will never happen :(

I bet Marvel/Disney are regretting that the rights have been sold to FOX. Imagine if Marvel still had the rights to all characters film-wise. Though I guess this is the only way we'll be able to have plenty of movies based off of Marvel characters.

Though, completely off topic, I'm not really a fan of Robert Liefeld :p

I find it VERY hard to believe that Fox has the X-Men rights forever... LOL Everything expires at some point, and it would be ridiculous to sign a deal that didn't...

They will expire one day but not for the forseeable future

That logo is pretty awesome. I really hope that the Sentinel action is LOADS better than what we saw in X3, lol. Everyone had high hopes for the Sentinels in that movie.

I second that... LOL

It's going to be tough waiting for this movie. Especially with all these teasers... LOL

^Exactly what I mean, haha. All we got to see is a head that didn't even look like a proper sentinel.

I second that... LOL

It's going to be tough waiting for this movie. Especially with all these teasers... LOL

I REALLY hope they're not going to give too much away with all the teasers. I know that I won't see all the teasers anyway, just like with "Man of Steel" etc. I feel like they spoil half of the movie these days with all the teasers, trailers and tv spots.

Mavels old, or should I say, original deal with studios, Fox, Sony, were that they keep the rights as long as they make a new movie within 5 years. That's why we get a spiderman reboot from Sony so quick and why Fox is going to do any X-men related films they can think of. Whoever worked out this deal for Marvel was an idiot at the time because not only is it hard to get them back right now but Marvel also gets such a small cut from the profits that it's pretty much a joke.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
