Khaldoon Bekou writes:What do you guys mean when you say that 20th Century Fox has to make more Fantastic Four movies otherwise the rights will revert back to Marvel? I mean why do a certain studio has to continue to make movies on a certain franchise in order to keep the rights to that franchise, thanks and keep up the good work.
