| − | Although a considerable number of Marvel characters are apart of the MCU, there are still a few that are not, due to rights being owned by other studios. Among them is ''X-Men'', which 20th Century Fox owns the rights. Another is ''Fantastic Four'', also owned by 20th Century Fox. In addition, the film rights to ''Spider-Man'', despite the inclusion of the character in the MCU with the release of 2016's ''Captain America: Civil War'', continue to be owned and controlled by Sony Pictures. On November 6, 2017, Disney was in talks to purchase 20th Century Fox, which would mean the rights of ''X-Men'' and ''Fantastic Four'' would revert to Marvel. <ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/11/06/disney-has-been-talks-buy-parts-21st-century-fox-reports-say/836737001/</ref> | + | Although a considerable number of Marvel characters are apart of the MCU, there are still a few that are not, due to rights being owned by other studios.
