Why would such a thing even exist? Because if they don't make another one, the rights revert back to Marvel. And while you and I might think that would be for the best, obviously the studio suits have a different opinion. This is why Fox is also talking about rebooting Daredevil and Fantastic Four.
First the bad news: Nicholas Cage is probably going to be back. (But that isn't set in stone yet.)
The good news: they've wisely kicked Mark Steven Johnson to the curb and handed the directorial reigns to the guys who made Crank, Crank 2 and Gamer. So hopefully we can count on this being awesomely ridiculous.
