UPDATE: This story has now been debunked by Fox.
After the disastrous reception that greeted Fox’s Fantastic Four this summer, the superhero team is set to return home to Marvel in time for a 2020 reboot, according to a report in Den of Geek.

The report suggests that Fox passed the rights to Marvel’s first family back to its home company in exchange for the deal that is allowing Fox to make a pair of X-Men television series.
This revelation comes soon after the announcement of three more untitled Marvel movies, with Den of Geek’s source claiming that one of those movies will be a Fantastic Four outing.
If true, this news is remarkable and will raise hopes that, after two false starts, the super-powered foursome will finally get the big screen story that they deserve.
UPDATE: Apparently, the deal also includes Doctor Doom, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
