99% negotiating tactic. The Franklin/Valeria rumor apparently got them nothing from Marvel so they try this. There was an article after FFINO from the Hollywood Reporter IIRC where they pointed out that doing a reboot after the kind of loss Fox suffered has never happened before. And Rupert Murdoch did not become a billionaire by doing stupid things that no one else has ever done.
True, and while they may not have made a "Doctor Doom" film yet, he was featured in all three of the previous, disappointing films.
I think that's going to be a hard sell to Fox management particularly with the response from people like us since the announcement.
Nobody can point to us and say: "See! They may not want an FF film, but they really want a Doctor Doom film!"
