    X-Men (Coming to Fox)

    YES, THIS IS FOR A TV SHOW
    Now TV Insider has confirmed that negotiations are definitely underway to develop the series, with Fox chairman Gary Newman saying that the current challenge to overcome is getting permission from Marvel to make the series, since Fox only owns the movie rights to X-Men and not the TV rights. Newman says that he’s “cautiously optimistic” after having “a good meeting” with Marvel, but warns that the series “will not be on a fast track creatively.”

    THR has more details to offer on the story, with sources claiming that the series is being penned by Patrick McKay and JD Payne (the initial Star Trek 3 script draft), and that 24 producers Evan Katz and Manny Coto will serve as showrunners. Earlier descriptions of the show have said that it will be like a version of Fringe set in the X-Men universe, and have claimed that X-Factor leader Jamie Madrox a.k.a. Multiple Man will definitely be in it. There has also been talk of Quicksilver (Evan Peters) being part of the cast, but obviously it’s still early days.

    Marvel has got to be getting something from Fox besides money.

    First they took over literature. Then they took over film. Now they're taking over television.
