Is it possible for Marvel to buy back Spider Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four
 
What are the chances of Disney/Marvel buying the movie rights to said film series?

Sure it's possible but there's very little chance that Fox or Sony would agree to sell the rights back.

Honestly, out of all the characters that Marvel doesn't own, I wish they could get rights to the Skrulls back from Fox. I'd love a Secret Invasion storyline down the road.

Of course it's POSSIBLE. But to be honest, I'm excited for what those companies are doing with each of those, so I can wait it out.

It's possible Sony will sell Spiderman back if the Sinister Six movie completely bombs. Sony is hurting financially and the dismal sales of the last two Spiderman movies haven't ensured confidence.

I doubt Fox will ever let go of X-men though.

Was just about to type something like that.

They are doing just fine. The past few Marvel movies have been really solid. And I'm only hearing great things about Guardians now.

I actually think Spider-Man could go back. The franchise is making less money with the last two installments, and I think Sony's worried about the franchise, with them pushing Sinister Six and 3 back.

But, honestly, I feel like Marvel wouldn't use Spider-Man for a while even if they had him. You know, to get people to forget about ASM2.

I wish they could buy back X Men, poor Cyclops hasn't been getting done Justice since movie 1 :P

Movie three he got killed off for crying out loud when the arc was supposed to give him a bigger part along with Jean Grey.

Don't know about Spider Man, I thought it was too soon for reboots.

It's possible, and it would benefit Disney/Marvel, as the big three is Wolverine, Spider-man and... Wolverine. Not Captain America, Iron Man and Thor as they try to push for.

But, without the rights to FF, Spider-Man and the X-Men, Disney/Marvel have to get creative with their movie license, hence why we even have a Guardians of the galaxy movie coming out.

Back when the first Avengers movie came out they stated that they have the rights for the Skrulls and its pretty proof positive they do considering guardians has the Kree and there called the Kree. Far as I know the only aliens they don't have rights to is Silver Surfer and Galactus. I think the the Shiar, Brood, and Technoarch as well as the Phalanx (Pretty sure I didn't spell any of those right) might also be tide up with Fox but I'm not sure.

I would absolutely love to see Spiderman go to Disney/Marvel. His inclusion in other Marvel films would be very cool to see. Spiderman deserves his team-ups ala the comics.
As for X-Men, I'm not in a big hurry for them to go anywhere. I'm quite happy with Bryan Singer and am content with the X-Men having their own little universe with Fox. They don't need to crossover with anyone as far as I'm concerned.

Sony should sell Spiderman back . It's costing them money.

I'd rather they not do that with Spidey. It's part of the reason he jumped the shark back in 2006-2007

Sony had to out the reboot out to keep the licensee. Sony and fox have to produce a movie every certain amount of years to keep the rights. Thats why ghost rider, Elektra, blade, the punisher and daredevil have all come back to Marvel Studios now.

Heres a great link for this topic...
