Bleeding Cool reports that Fox is jumping on the superhero overload bandwagon and is planning on bringing two Marvel superhero groups together into one movie franchise. Currently
The Fantastic Four is being developed for a reboot and
The X-Men is in the middle of a series of movies including
Days of Future Past (May 23, 2014) and
Apocalypse (2016).
The report comes from an investors news piece and is not any official announcement so who knows if it is true.

It would seem that superhero movies are starting to become more epic and while DC is looking at combining all their new franchises into a
Justice League franchise, Marvel already is sitting pretty with
The Avengers and all their upcoming movies. Fox no doubt wants to capitalize with their products which leaves Sony (
The Amazing Spiderman) out in the cold but one cannot rule out a team-up of not only superheroes but of film studios to get their biggest bang for their buck.
With the next TV season almost upon us we see a lot of exciting match-ups in this ongoing and fun battle between Marvel and DC. The tides seem to be slightly changing due to a horrible outing by Fantastic Four but until Deadpool and Batman Vs Superman come out next year, all we really have is what is on TV and that is certainly exciting. This time around I also look at what I think are the most important events for either side in the following year or so.
Marvel hass struck another blow in the Marvel vs. DC battle with Ant-Man. Could Fox be thinking about amping up their own Marvel universe? Besides a couple of TV promotions, DC is sitting this period out I guess. And what's up with X-Men -Apocalypse?
