Marvel Enterprises: The Movie's Just Started

Sony still controls SpiderMan movie rights, as does Fox with X-Men. Those rights will likely never revert to Marvel (they'd basically only revert back if they weren't worth anything anymore; like with Universal giving Hulk back). Spidey licensing rights (so not the movie, but the rights to license out SpiderMan for toys and t-shirts and video games and whatnot) reside in a JV with Sony (SpiderMan Merchandising LP). X-Men licensing rights (again, not the movie but the rights to license the characters for toys, video games and stuff) primarily reside with Marvel.
