But if Marvel is indeed in command then I doubt the movie will get released before 2013. So there is hope for a faithful adaptation. I believe Fox does not own the rights to Deadpool. The word is that Marvel is definitely thinking about it. Deadpool introduced in the movie Wolverine is very likely to get his own movie in a not-so-distant future. Fox doesn't need Marvel to save their franchise, and Marvel isn't making merchandise for X-Men movies, so neither company really cares if the other succeeds.The positive buzz around all things Marvel recently is a strong incentive for developing new spin-offs movies based on the Marvel universe. Even if, down the road, the Deadpool sequels bomb, Fox can just find another part of the X-Universe to mine for ideas.
MOUSTERPIECE CINEMA DEADPOOL SERIES
Meanwhile, Fox's X-Men series is in really great shape, and Deadpool made it even stronger. By having that one character appear in Marvel movies, it reinvigorates all of the side projects Sony was hoping to launch. Also, Spider-Man is the entire franchise. It made sense for both companies to work together. Second, Sony's Amazing Spider-Man reboot was failing to launch, especially after Amazing Spider-Man 2. First of all, Sony sold the merchandising rights to Disney, which is why there's a ton of Spider-Man merchandise. If Marvel was able to work a deal with Sony for Spider-Man, then they should be able to work out a similar deal with Fox, right? Well, that was a different situation. So really, Disney doesn't need to fight to get the film rights back, because we're all buying Deadpool t-shirts anyway.
As long as that merchandise features images from the comics, that profit is all Marvel's. So, as far as Marvel is concerned, successful movies mean people buy more merchandise. With the huge success of Deadpool, it seems like Disney has come around and started allowing X-Men merchandise to be released again, albeit as long as it's based on the comics. The thing is, Marvel only has to share the profits on merchandise based on the movies. It was never officially confirmed, but many believed that this was because of movie rights. Starting in late 2014 or so, fans started noticing that Marvel merchandise was strikingly devoid of X-Men and Fantastic Four characters. Regarding Deadpool merchandise, things once again get complicated. Films are expensive, and a lot of people need to get a cut. When it comes to making money, selling t-shirts and stickers can be way more profitable than making movies. It gets even more complicated than that though. Basically, we'll all be old and gray before the rights to Deadpool could even possibly revert back to Marvel. Not to mention the fact that it seems likely Deadpool will appear in movies like X-Force, further pushing back the countdown. Deadpool was so successful that a sequel is pretty much guaranteed, most likely to be released in late 2017 or early 2018, which resets the 7 year countdown. The exact time period for Deadpool has never been publicly confirmed by either party, but based on other franchises, it's generally believed that this period is 7 years. Fox doesn't own the rights forever, they have to have a film in production within a certain time period or else the rights revert back to Marvel. Right now, Disney's only hope of getting the rights is to wait for Fox's option to expire.
With a record breaking opening weekend in the middle of February, the price for the rights just skyrocketed. With the box office success of 2016's Deadpool, it's incredibly unlikely that Disney will ever be able to buy the film rights from Fox.
