But what if Donald Glover is in the animated show as a character. Voiced by someone else obviously. Hes not a voice actor.

Besides Spider-Man, he's doing Sinba in the new Lion King

 

[richiek]

Im excited but confused. Fox only owns the film rights for Deadpool, or am I wrong? Does this mean Marvel has to give the okay for this?

EDIT - Ah I see the article mentions it's a collaboration between FX and ABC.

Fox has to get permission from Marvel/Disney to make any TV series based on the X-Men. That's why Legion, The Gifted and Deadpool are Fox/Marvel co-produtions.

This is why I'm hopeful this that cooperation is a sign that Marvel will get the Fantastic Four rights from Fox.

Stupid question, but is that guy Danny Glover's son?

This seems to be separate from the current line of Marvel cartoons (Avengers Assemble, Guardians of the Galaxy, & whatever Spider-Man cartoon is coming up).

Why?

It still begs the question on why they went with FXX for this. I'm presuming part of the reason is because it's adult in nature, something that DisneyXD and Freeform wouldn't carry and ABC doesn't do cartoons, and they want Marvel products everywhere, but they could have gone with netflix, hulu, amazon, etc. I wonder if there's more to this.

Overall this is good news though, Marvel started addressing their Live TV side and is expanding on that, they are addressing their game side, and - I hope - they are now addressing their animation and animated feature movies side, which has been sorely lacking.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

He's not related to Danny Glover

 

[Prompto]

Sweet. Sucks it's on FXX and not FX though.

Also I wonder since it's not live action if there can be some cross over with other Marvel characters besides the X-Men.

I think that's true for Live TV, but not for cartoons. Do you have a source saying otherwise?

It's true for cartoons too. TV rights are TV rights.

This is part of the reason people are hopeful for the F4 in the MCU. It seems unlikely Marvel did a complete 180 with Fox for nothing in return.

Wasn't deadpool in the Spider-Man cartoon?

Well according to the press release, Marvel Television, not Marvel Animation, is coproducing Deadpool.

 

[kewlmyc]

I guess the network is looking to replace Archer soon and need something to fill that niche? Looking forward to it.

 

[metsallica]

Neat. Hope it's better than the GotG cartoon. Though that's aimed at kids, and this most certainly won't be.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Wasn't deadpool in the Spider-Man cartoon?

Yeah. Because Marvel owned (owns?) the TV rights to all Fox characters. Hence the current convo on what they received in return for allowing Fox to make TV shows with these characters now.

 

[JBourne]

Wasn't deadpool in the Spider-Man cartoon?

He was! One of the few good episodes of the current show.

As long as this doesn't the same horrible animation as the other Marvel animated shows on right now, I'm down. Donald Glover is a funny dude, I have faith.

Not really, IIRC Disney bought the animation tv rights to spiderman from Sony, but according to the leaked emails from 2014, sony still had some rights to live action TV for spiderman.

It also doesn't seem unlikely that they gave up something for pretty nothing. See the 2015 Sony deal.

That doesn't mean they don't own the animation rights.

[Baroquemantic]

Damn. What isn't Donald Glover doing? Hope this is good.

What 2015 Sony deal? The one where Spider-Man is now in the MCU?

 

[Yazuka]

I really hope they get Ryan Reynolds to voice Deadpool. Can't stand Nolan North's version of Deadpool.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Damn that sounds dope hope they get Ryan Reynolds back

 

[Not]

Cool. Hope RR is on board

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So on board for this. Deadpool and not made for kids. Can't get much better then that.

 

[Johndoey]

Think they will get Reynolds to voice him?

Hopefully they get Nolan North.

 

[hydruxo]

Why not, is the real question

 

[Choppasmith]

Wow, this came out of nowhere! It's great to see Fox and Marvel working so well together! Maybe there really IS a secret "F4 is back with Marvel" megaton announcement in the works.

I wonder if it'll be like the movie and just focus on the movie's characters + some X-Men here and there or if because it's TV and animated, they get to have characters from all of Marvel.

 

[TuXx]

Ha! Knew this was gonna happen, minus Donald Glover being involved.

Let the Deadpool over consumption comence!

 

[Immaculate]

slay me young glover

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Stupid question, but is that guy Danny Glover's son?

Nah. Crispin.

 

[WarRock]

Put the Atlanta crew to dub this please.

 

[Grazzt]

Awesome news!!!

 

[Lkr]

He's not related to Danny Glover

Lmao well his real name is Childish Gambino anyway

 

[Falchion]

So excited about this. I need a miracle so that Ryan will do the voiceover.

 

[Wag]

Is it too much to ask this is at least TV-14?
