Whatever they have, they've had it for way too long.
The only thing that makes sense is that when Marvel Studios started and they made that distribution deal with Paramount, they also had to re-negotiate with Universal because they wanted to use Hulk. If that negotiation, which took place some time prior to 2008, essentially reset the clock on all their Marvel properties, then I could see a somewhat reasonable scenario for them having this extended time of rights ownership.
But it's already been about 10 years since those talks should have happened and contracts signed. How much longer could they have it?
