Method of Madness:
No Brie Larsen?
TheEvilDog:
Nope, Brie Larson will be making her debut in the MCU in 2019's Captain Marvel movie. She won't be in Infinity Wars until the second film.

I saw Thor: Ragnarok over the weekend and it was a fantastic movie. All the returning characters gave great performances and Cate Blanchett absolutely killed it as Hela. My biggest gripe in the movie was I wanted more scenes with her. I want an entire movie around her. Scourge was sadly, poorly used here. His primary role was to give Hela someone to talk to when we needed plot exposition from her. The storyline makes some rather large departures from both actual Norse myth and Marvel's version of Asgard. I wouldn't say it spoiled my enjoyment of the film, but I did spend a lot of time thinking 'wait, what?'.
Fight scenes, quite epic. People talking and bantering was often times funny, sometimes moving. There was a lot of humor in a movie about the destruction of Asgard... There was a lot of character growth for Thor obviously and a fair bit for Loki. Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie was great too.. though again, she is literally nothing like Brunhylde the Valkyrie from the Marvel books. I don't even think it was supposed to be her, but rather another Valkyrie.
If you're a fan of the MCU, I recommend seeing, as if you weren't going to anyway. If you aren't a fan and have no idea what this is on about... It's still a good movie, but I think a lot of stuff just won't make any sense. We're getting to a point where people watching are just assumed to know when characters, events and places are name dropped. If anyone were to start watching mid way at this point it would at best be mildly confusing that they keep talking about stuff that happened, but that's the price of an ongoing story like this.

Disney reportedly in talks to buy 21st Century Fox:

This would bring the Fantastic Four, and all associated with them, and the X-Men, and all associated with them, back to Marvel. The only thing outside of Marvel control then would be Spider-Man and his ancillary characters and villains.
Additionally, this would clear up some outstanding rights issues relating to the original Star Wars trilogy, and probably pave the way for a fully restored/remastered Blu-Ray release of the unedited films.
TheEvilDog:
Technically the Hulk is also out of Marvel's control. The Incredible Hulk was a special deal between Universal and Marvel, Universal own the rights to individual Hulk movies, but allows the character to be used in ensemble films.
But a couple of sources have said that the two companies aren't currently in talks. There have been some discussions, in particular about streaming services between Fox and Disney. In August it was reported that Disney might be pulling its material from Netflix as it looks to start its own streaming service.
Still, we'll have to see what comes about.
