Constantin Film Produktion held the film rights for Fantastic Four starting in 1983. Their deal would expire in the early nineties if they didn't produce a movie.  By 1992 they hadn't made anything, so to keep the rights they produced a Fantastic Four movie that they finished in 94. It looked like this:



It's never officially been released, but they kept the rights throughout the 90's because of it. (Side note: this movie is awesome. I mean, it's awful.  But it's so awesome. if you have a chance to see it, see it)

Anyway, this new FF movie kind of strikes me as being they same way: Fox needs to keep making FF movies to keep the rights. So they'll make a new one at some point, i.e. when they have to.

I think they'll also be watching to see how the Spider-Man deal works out for Sony.  If that makes a bunch of money, then Fox may look for a similar deal with Disney.
