Fox Crossing Over its Marvel Film Franchises? (Source)

According to Twitter poster "Poni_boy" who regularly posts scoops, pics, and appears to be involved in the film business; Fox is going the Marvel Studio route for its new set of films starting with X-Men: First Class. They will cross over all of their Marvel franchises into one movieverse, that is independent of Marvel Studio's Marvel movieverse.

The franchises that Fox will crossover are:
X-Men
Fantastic Four
Daredevil

Exactly how this will work remains to be seen, but could we be seeing Matt Murdock or Reed Richards in X-Men: First Class? Or better yet could Dr. Doom become the ultimate mastermind he was in the comics? Could Dr. Doom, Magneto, and Kingpin team up on screen? Could be cool.

I'm always skeptical but this guy has provided good information in the past, so we'll see. This would make sense considering Fox's new reboot approach to its Marvel franchises, and based upon Marvel's success with the concept.

Here are the tweets in question:

".... BUT it will be completely independant from anything Marvel Studios is doing. So now we'll have two Marvel movie universes

"FOX has already begun casting for Fantastic Four and are looking at several A-list actors; it may be a direct sequel and not a total reboot

terrible idea, they have know business being together. marvel is doing it because there characters come together in the avengers.

I always wondered what would've happened had Ben Affleck's Daredevil met Gruffudd, Alba, Evans and Chiklis' Fantastic Four like in the comics and on the '90s Fantastic Four animated series ("And A Blind Man Shall Lead Them")?

Terrible, terrible news.
Hope the plans crashes and burns.
Fox will only dilute and damage the Marvel brand. Seriously, to hell with Fox.

Hold Brillan!

Yeah, that just seems like an awful idea. those franchises really don't seem to mesh well. X-men vs. doom maybe, but just seems confusing how they would cross them over unless they went the onslaught route.

So far the only source we have is a twitterer, and what´s Poni Boy´s source?
I´ll wait until I have this confirmed from more sources. Until then I´ll have to be sceptical.

Besides, FUX would only screw it up.

Will you join the resistance?
