Marvel Legacy Movies.


That seems to be the official name for pre-MCU Marvel movies now.



Disney+ Has called their Fox-Marvel movies "Marvel Legacy Movies".

I hesitate to abbreviate it to MLM, cuz it also stands for "multi-level marketing", which is a bland inoffensive legalese term for pyramid scheme!

ANYOO!

So Disney owns the Fox movies, but Disney+ can't show R rated movies, so that cuts out Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan.
But all the other Fox-Men movies, plus the Fantastic Fours, and Daredevil and Elektra can go.

And New Mutants is a hard PG-13, but PG-13 is still allowed, so when the time comes for that to go to streaming, that'll go in.

So, the above graphic is what you can access on Disney.

Universal still has Hulk for solo movies, and Sony's hanging onto Spidey.
The rights for Ghost Rider have reverted back to Marvel, thus Disney, but Sony still owns the movies they made (via Columbia).
Ditto Blade and New Line.

BUT, for lack of something else to call these other movies, as a fan, I suggest going right ahead and calling those "Marvel Legacy Movies", too.
Cuz why the Hell not?

BUT, I have a feeling in my bones that Dr. Strange 2, and Spidey 3 will merge the MLM and Sony-verse (SPUMC) into the MCU so it'll all retroactively be MCU anyway.

And they'll think of a clever trick to shoehorn Hulk and Ghost Rider in there if they've already gone to that much trouble.

So...stay tuned.
