You may need to put an asterisk on Deadpool. From the wikipedia:

Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel Entertainment in May 2000 to co-produce, finance, and distribute several films based on Marvel Comics characters, including Deadpool.

By February 2004, writer and director David S. Goyer and star Ryan Reynolds were working on a Deadpool film at New Line Cinema after working together on the Marvel film Blade: Trinity.


So, if Marvel was still shopping Deadpool around in 2000, it certainly implies he wasn't part of the FoX-Men package. (That package itself was actually very squishy and vague outside roughly two dozen "core and original" characters, with Marvel and Fox actually retaining shared custody.)

In fact, the only way I think the Fox deal would ever get neatly unwound is by a merger, because so much of that deal was built on the premise that Marvel itself didn't make movies. Once they started, it was an untenable arrangement that was destined for several rounds of litigation.

Who exactly owns Deadpool's film rights may become the next big "wait, what?!" moment in the ongoing hell of piecing together what Marvel's brass were doing in Hollywood for the last six decades.

Still need to work out the problem with the rights to Namor and the Hulk related characters. Also need to get full control of the Spiderman characters

@dracula - As long as Marvel can keep making solo Spidey films then I'm okay with it. It seems like the Marvel films will be utilizing less popular villains (Vulture and Mysterio for instance) and I think that's actually very cool. It keeps it fresh. I would be lying if I said I don't want Norman Osbourne and a proper Green Goblin in the MCU though. He could set up a big storyline with Dark Avengers....

Hulk and Namor can stay they way they are in my opinion. I've never been much of a Hulk fan. His solo comics can only do so much, mostly dealing with his dual personality and being on the run from the military. I think they have done a fine job of telling stories with him in other characters' films.

Namor. He's similar. I like him. But he's also a gigantic dick head in the comics. And to be honest, his solo comics have never been that great or interesting. He's also best used as either an ally to the FF and X-Men, or as a villain. The perfect way to use him would be to introduce him in a film that has him bringing Atlantis to the surface to battle a strong world power. That makes Black Panther and Wakanda a perfect target. I say introduce him in a Black Panther film. Have a war between Atlantis and Wakanda. Then maybe bring him into other big Infinity War-lkke stories. But he usually keeps to himself in Atlantis. He may have strong ties with the FF, but only so many films can be made. The FF have so many more characters/villains that we have been dying to see in the MCU that a Namor-centric FF film seems like a waste. Plus, any solo Namor film would come off as an Aquaman RIP off, even though Namor was created before Aquaman...

The problem with Spider-man is that Sony owns part of the actual character, as well as film rights.

@Battabing - Sony owns film and animation, marvel owns toys for spidey.

I don't know if people fully realize just how lucky Feige & Co. got thanks to this Fox deal.
I mean yeah, everybody keeps talking about X-Men and F4, but the BIGGEST thing that the MCU needed was big bad villains after Thanos.
And the timing of all of this is just...wow, perfect.
Now they're set for decades...shit, FOREVER!

We already have lots of rumors about what they're planning, i'm sure (or at least i hope) there's more, but for now, from what i heard, i have 0 interest in Nova, Kamala Khan, Power Pack, Eternals etc...
That's about to change tho. :3
