I believe the purchase will clear the way for a Unified MCU!!!
Feige and the MCU "powers that be" will likely reconfigure Phase 4 after Avengers Part 2 of Infinity War!
Add that X-Men: Dark Phoenix is likely (ok... possibly) the ending of the X-Men Cinematic Universe, then a merging of Marvel under one Cinematic Universe ... and we can look forward to Deadpool, Silver Surfer, The X-Men and the Avengers battling Galactus and Dr. Doom!
Add a dozen plus Television shows on Multiple platforms and my childhood dream of Marvel Heroes being everyday programs... becomes a reality!!!!

Dreams do come true!!!
Of course Dreams come true like F4 appearing in the MCU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do disagree with citing Spiderman and Deadpool as examples, since Marvel never stopped publishing their books as a response to their respective film rights. The Fantastic Four situation has always been treated differently.
The point I was making is that there are articles out there that claim the various trades made between Marvel Studios and Sony (Spiderman) and Fox (Deadpool, Guardians) would not have been made under Perlmutter, and only happened after Feige was free of him. Under Perlmutter, Marvel Studios was not interested in working with anyone, and trying to regain control of the cinematic rights by any means necessary.
This was in regard to statements made in this thread (and elsewhere) that stated or implied that the choices made regarding Marvel licensing were Disney choices. They do not seem to be Disney choices, rather Marvel Entertainment choices driven by the desire to regain control of cinematic rights. Since in a real sense they are never going to regain that control under Disney, it is possible that Marvel Studios would be allowed to work deals with Fox on the presumption that the Disney/Fox acquisition will happen, because if it doesn't happen they could still make deals to keep projects alive.
In other words, Marvel Studios doesn't necessarily have to wait a year or more for the deal to go through. If Feige *thinks* it will go through and the head of Fox studios thinks it will go through, they could theoretically start handshake negotiations tomorrow, and Disney would not likely discourage this from happening.
...and I made it more confusing by using Marvel and Disney casually and interchangeably (and incorrectly)...I see what you are saying about a change in attitude in regards to the film rights after Perlmutter.
