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.
I have some questions and things I am looking forward to in 2014 in the world of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. It is going to be a big year and some of these can't come soon enough. My interests in movies and television has led to the following list of things I will be watching closely in 2014.
