Disney's big Fox deal could change the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cinemablend's Sean O'Connell joins Cheddar with an explanation of how the acquisition could reshape the superhero landscape. He says characters from the X-Men and Fantastic 4 franchises will make welcome additions to Disney's slate.
O'Connell also reveals what the deal means for Disney's lucrative theme park market. We consider whether the media giant's new "Avatar"-themed experience may be a clue that this agreement was a long time in the making. He also tells us what this means for the long-awaited sequels to the highest-grossing movie of all time, "Avatar."
Finally, O'Connell tells us just how big "Star Wars: The Last Jedi's" opening night was. He warns that the sequel might bore some die-hard fans. The newest installment makes three new "Star Wars" movies in three years; O'Connell says this could cause fatigue among audiences.
