Accusing Revolution Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment of copyright infringement and unfair competition, Marvel Enterprises and 20th Century Fox have filed suit against Sony and Revolution, claiming that the upcoming Sony/Revolution sci-fi comedy "Zoom" uses key elements from the "X-Men" franchise. The suit further contends that after Fox announced plans to release X3 on May 26, 2006, Sony moved the release of Zoom, originally planned for August 2006 release, to May 12, 2006, in an unfair attempt by Sony and Revolution to manipulate the market and trade off the time, energy, resources and effort Marvel and Fox have invested in 'X-Men.
