Don't think there's anything Stan the Man can do.

Yeah, there's not a single thing Stan can do now.

Probably would depend on disney and if they wanted them and how much money it would take.

As with anything Stan says most of the time, it's just happy lip service. I love the man, but he's at best a figurehead/mascot at this point as far as any real role.

They got Spidey...so I'd say there's at least some hope. Also who the f*** knows what FOX will do with the FF..

I think F4 are a possibility but X-men is a no go.
I want Marvel to get F4 back mainly for Doom, Galactus & SS

Even if Stan had an active role in Marvel, he'd be able to do absolutely nothing.

Stan calls up Steve Ditko, believing the latter might have some helpful advice in getting back ownership and property to a rightful party that's being denied simply because of a contract drawn when they were at a weak position financially.
Ditko does not call him back.

For all of five minutes before Sony yanked that carpet out from under them again recently.

I understand why Sony is trying to keep Spider-Man. That's a proven moneymaking franchise. Same for Fox and the X-Men. But I still can't figure out why in the hell Fox won't just give up on the FF. I'm pretty sure as a license, they've spent more on Fantastic Four than they've made from it.

It would be nice to have them back, but isn't it better for the fans as a whole that Marvel didn't originally have those rights?
Since they didn't have Spider-man, they had to rely on Iron Man.
Since they didn't have the X-Men, they had to rely on the Avengers.
I can't see Guardians of the Galaxy getting a chance in the first three years if they had all their characters.

They'll probably get the FF back at some point. Unfortunately since the FF suck and I have no desire to see yet another movie about the most boring superhero team around.

FF are great. They just aren't doin em right. Make it a series that's a combination of Star Trek and Legends of Tomorrow and you'd have it. The only drawback there might be the budget. But if they did it kind of like Sherlock where each 'season' is 3-4 movie lenght episodes that would alleviate that.
Explore the Negative Zone, the Crossroads of Infinity, tangle with the Frightful Four, do Doom right, Inhumans Xover...just a myriad of great possibilities.
End one season with a cliffhanger about the coming of Galactus--that writes itself.

Pretty much, they bet the house with Ghostbusters being a mega hit only for it to flop and lose them 60 million dollars and letting go of half their workforce. Now they're praying that Emoji will keep them afloat which given the looks of it, they might as well get ready to file for bankruptcy

I think they were banking on the "controversy" behind Ghostbusters moving a lot more money than it did.

No thank you.
I think some should definitely be under the MCU, like with the way the MCU is going, having the FF back in their group makes sense right now but there are certain kinds of films that Disney/Marvel just won't do and letting companies like FOX or whomever do them will create more variety in the genre. If literally every Marvel character were under Disney it'd be TOO homogenized.
