Why not all Marvel movies are Marvel Movies

all these properites are liscenced by different studios, so

Fantastic Four are Fox
Spider Man is Sony
XMen is Columbia

Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant Man, Dr. Strange, Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter and Captain America are Marvel Studios with Paramount as a distributor (because Marvel wasn't making that much money licensing through other studios.)

and now Disney owns Marvel Entertainment, so after the Paramount contracted ended with Avengers, these films are distributed through Disney.
Though Universal still owns distribution rights with the Hulk.

Which answers the question why you won't see Fantastic Four, Spider Man or XMen crossovers with Avengers.

Which is odd, because The Avengers is introducing Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who are supposed to be Magneto's kids. Hmmm ...

yeah, but they have two different actors playing Quicksilver, and I guess they don't mention in the new avengers film that they are Magneto's kids.
