    What’s your favourite Marvel movie?

    Disney should’ve buy Marvel in the 90’s and still give the rights to the characters to their numerous production companies, like Spider-Man should go with Disney, Blade should go with Mirimax, Punisher should go with Dimension Films, Daredevil should go with Touchstone, Hulk should go with Hollywood Pictures, and Iron Man of course as we know today, goes with Marvel Studios.

      @@raidenstark315 This video already done the timeline. I'm more interested in who owned who. Especially the characters who were never used. What Avengers could have been used if no rights were reverted? Did Fox ever own Squirrel Girl for being a mutant? Who else besides Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have split rights between two studios due to prominence in two Marvel franchises? What could Sony have done with Kingpin to differentiate him from the Daredevil villain? Why was Fox able to use Viper in The Wolverine when she was more of a Captain America villain? If Fox owned Kang for being a descendant of Reed, did they also own Ravonnah Renslayer for her relationship with Kang? And for the franchises that Marvel hadn't sold, would they have characters packaged with them if they did?

    7:05 This part is inaccurate. According to the documentary “Doomed: The untold story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four” and book “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios”, it was Avi Arad who struck a deal with Bernd Eichinger on cancelling the release of this film in exchange for the two producing a high budget adaptation of the team with 20th Century Fox eventually becoming the 2005 film starring Ioan Gruffudd and Chris Evans. Eichinger received top producer billing on said movie.

These are the different licensing deals between companies like Disney, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures.
