The latest info comes from Comic Planet Culture For Life that also states X-Men: Apocalypse will be Bryan Singer's last X-Men movie.It's also again said an announcement will be forthcoming; the first rumor stated an announcement about the X-Men and Marvel Avengers movie would be made at this year's Comic-Con, which follows the May premiere of X-Men: Apocalypse. Whether the announcement comes this year (if it happens) remains to be seen, but Disney could always announce the Avengers and X-Men event in 2017 at their D23 Expo which just moved to the month of July (the month Comic-Con is normally held).Regarding any evidence that Fox is teaming with Marvel for Avengers and X-Men, back about two years ago Kevin Feige said "never say never" regarding Marvel teaming up with any of the other studios. Of course, now we know Marvel is working together with Sony on Spider-Man.Notable X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner is also close to Marvel's Kevin Feige, as the two worked together, and previously offered she would "love it" if the characters worked together with an enthusiastic "yeah, absolutely," when questioned about a potential X-Men and Marvel crossover.

Possible further evidence may lie with the recent smash hit Deadpool movie, which features Marvel's Avengers hellicarrier in the climactic scene. The Hellicarrier in Deadpool was confirmed by the concept artist: "[I] was asked to redesign the helicarrier so it looked as different as possible from the one in The Avengers. And it had to look like it had been taken apart in some places," Emmanuel Shiu said.It's also suggested the previous rift between Marvel Comics and Fox may be over as Marvel Comics is now producing various X-Men related comic books. Marvel Comics previously killed off various X-Men characters including Wolverine and blew up the cast of the Fantastic Four reboot in one of their books. There is also the fact Marvel and Fox are working together on the FX X-Men TV series Legion and Hellfire.Regarding Fantastic Four, no rumors have suggested the property may be going back to Marvel, but if the X-Men rumors pan out, more than likely Kevin Feige and Marvel will be coming in to save the day for FF as well.

Disney Inc. (DIS) isn’t the only company looking to cash in on “Star Wars’” long-awaited return to movie theaters on Thursday. Burgeoning apparel brand Under Armour Inc. (UA) and online retailer Fanatics Inc. each unveiled “Star Wars”-branded sportswear in the weeks ahead of “The Force Awakens’” release. “Stars Wars: The Force Awakens” has been well-received by critics at early screenings, and tracking numbers suggest it will generate a massive windfall at the box office. The film’s total haul could approach or surpass $2 billion, according to various estimates, with hundreds of millions more in sales of licensed merchandise. The massive consumer interest led several companies, including car manufacturer Dodge (FCAU) to footwear brand Crocs (CROX), to launch product tie-ins to coincide with “Star Wars’” release.Previously, Under Armour released a line of Marvel gear to coincide with the release of “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” last May. Star Wars and Under Armour.

A photo posted by Under Armour (@underarmour) on Dec 12, 2015 at 6:00am PST This sort of cross-promotion is rare in the sports apparel landscape, but a “smart move” by Under Armour, according to Matt Powell, vice president of NPD Group’s sports industry analysis division. “Under Armour was very successful with their comic hero series so I would expect Star Wars to be equally successful,” Powell said. “It’s only a small part of their total business so I do not expect a major lift from Star Wars, but it has created some publicity for the company.” Under Armour has developed a reputation for innovative products and marketing strategies amid rapid growth in recent years. The Maryland-based brand surpassed Adidas as the United States’ second best-selling sportswear company in late 2014 and set a financial target of $7.5 billion in revenue by 2018. Customers seem to be drawn to the Dark Side.

“Imperial Collection” apparel that features “Star Wars” villains, such as Darth Vader and the “Death Star” spacecraft, has sold particularly well, while certain men’s and boy’s products have sold out entirely, an Under Armour representative said. Click-through rates on Under Armour’s “Star Wars” marketing emails – a key measure of an e-commerce campaign’s success – are twice the normal rate. Under Armour declined to provide specific sales figures before the end of the holiday season. Fanatics, which sells more than $1 billion in apparel annually and touts itself as the largest online retailer of sports team merchandise, has experienced similar success. T-shirts featuring college sports logos and “Star Wars” characters have “seen a tremendous response from fans,” according to Jack Boyle, Fanatics’ President of Merchandising. “In just a few weeks, we’ve sold through the majority of the items, with T-shirts leading the way in popularity,” Boyle said.
