Their antagonism towards the MCU knows no bounds.

How is it news that a major media outlet is running advertising for a big movie? Aren't there ads for every movie that comes out all over every major media distribution channel?

Because Fox is not Warner Bros. - or is it?

Are you saying abc, nbc, fox, etc etc etc only run ads for internally owned properties? I should make a thread about seeing a justice league ad on ESPN because it's owned by Disney which owns marvel??

Justice League & X-Men crossover confirmed. Dr. Doom will be the villain.

What you are referencing is purchased ad space, which is different than a company using its own social channels to put out messages. Its a bit weird to have a competing social media account just throw up a post all willy nilly. That usually isnt done because usually the companies social media makes post geared toward its own products. It is like if Walt Disney World's facebook page made a post about a Universal studios theme park opening.It just isn't typical, because this may mean either a partnership between WB/Fox or something.
Still weird, but kinda makes sense
...unless they start doing with other members of the league =P

Eh, 20th Century Fox vs FOX. Production studios are weird beasts.

Justice League's post credits scene is gonna feature Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, isn't it?

20th Century Fox is the film studio, not the TV network.

I'm curious why you think social media is different than other ad space in this day and age.
I think you're missing something here, 20th Century Fox UK isn't a media outlet or TV channel selling ad slots.
They're a distributor and this is their official Twitter account. So promoting a film they're not distributing (and is actually their competition) is...odd.

Yup, twitter is the ad space, but not 20th Century Fox's account. It wouldn't be weird at all to promoted Tweets for Justice League on Twitter. They'd just be posted by a Justice League or Warner Bros account under any normal circumstance. I don't think this poster understands social media marketing.

Imagine WB or Marvel tweeting about Logan/Deadpool etc.
What did he mean by this?

Thatd be like a post credits scene for Xmen at the end of a Spiderman film

Fox buys stake in Wonder Woman for a crossover with Deadpool directed by James Cameron
It's like they're a Fox... on the run...
..because this is 20th Century Fox - the film studio - advertising a Warner Bros. Property/Production, on their social media feed. It's bizarre...and clearly (more than likely) an error.
Seems like they let the cat out of the bag too early and are now trying to cover their tracks.

In a perfect world, Apes 3 would have a Batman x Ceasar post credit scene.
Same social media dude, probably accidentally tweeted from the wrong account.
Most important post of this thread, imho.
Clearly an error that has been fixed. No matter how intertwined big media companies and their associated movie studios are - nobody promotes another movie studio's films

Wrong Fox.
Stop doubling down, you know the difference.
You need to sit down with Marvel, Capcom and Fox - Infinite needs you
