The FF, they are made for the MCU. Also I want to see Doom in the MCU. The real Doom. Doctor Doom, that is. Not that abomination that was movie Doom in the FF movies so far.
 
In order of priority:

1) Fantastic Four
2) X-Men
3) Spider-Man
4) Daredevil
5) Ghost Rider
6) Blade

While X-Men would be the biggest "get", the Fantastic Four bring far more to the table in terms of things they can add to the universe. I'm not entirely sure what they got sold off with, but at the very least we're talking Dr. Doom, Galactus, and the Silver Surfer. Those three, alone, make getting them back important. So in terms of adding to the universe that Marvel's trying to create in their movies, the Fantastic Four bring the most to the table.

After that, though, the X-Men would be major. They bring FAR more to the table than every single one of those other properties combined, but everything tied to them is mutant related, so it'd be in its own little ghetto separated from the rest of the Marvel Movie Universe. The only real crossover I can see there are Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Magneto. I have to say, though. Fox scored a MAJOR coup when they locked up the entire X-Men franchise. Really, the X-Men by themselves are easily the equal of the rest of Marvel and DC's entire lineups, not only in terms of heroes but of villains as well. It really is a franchise with an inexaustible amount of material, and there's no way Fox is ever going to give it up. Nor will they have to. There's so much material there, so many different heroes and villains, that they can mine the X-Men until the end of time and still have plenty left over.

After those two, the rest are pretty unimportant. Spider-Man would of course be nice, but he doesn't really add anything to the Marvel Movie Universe aside from Spider-Man himself. So unless he becomes an Avenger, there's really no point to his presence. His villains certainly aren't necessary either. Green Goblin, Sandman, Dr. Octopus, etc, don't really cross over to other heroes and make appearances as Avengers villains, so they're all pretty unimportant all around. The same goes double for Daredevil, who is himself only a tenth as interesting as Spider-Man, and his villains are likewise only a tenth as interesting.

As for Ghost Rider and Daredevil, they'd be useful if Marvel expands its supernatural lineup. Seeing them co-exist with Dr. Strange would be fantastic. But if Marvel doesn't put out a supernatural lineup then their presence is pretty unimportant, as well.
 
X-Men seems like an impossibility. Fox will have the rights forever. FOREVER.
I hate to be the *****ebag that says it, but how can we expect the rights to ever revert to Marvel when the stable of characters and movie possibilities is endless, therefore guaranteeing a half-assed movie every year or two.

I have my fingers crossed about FF, but it sounds like they are about to hit the ground running on that one.

My only hope now is DD, it's been 8 damned years since it came out, 6 since Elektra did, how the hell can they still be aloud to hold onto the rights?

It shouldn't be enough to just say "Oh hey, we got some people that might be doing it" GIVE IT BACK!!! He'd be such an asset to the AMAZING MCU we are being exposed to.

No worries. You're not being a *****ebag. It's just simple fact. Marvel effectively gave Fox the contents of an entire comics company line-up when they signed away the X-Men. Think about it:

Exodus (The Acolytes)
Apocalypse (The Four Horsemen/Dark Riders)
Magneto (The Brotherhood)
Zaladane (The Mutates)
Sebastian Shaw (The Hellfire Club)
Mister Sinister (The Marauders)
Stryfe (The Mutant Liberation Front)
William Stryker (The Purifiers)
Bolivar Trask/Bastion (The Sentinels)
Donald Pierce (The Reavers)
D'Ken Neramani/Deathbird (The Shi'ar Empire)
Mojo (The Wildways)
Krakoa
Arcade
Onslaught
Proteus
The Shadow King

Each and every single one of them is capable of carrying an X-Men movie as the villain. Some of them repeatedly. Now check this list out:

Sabretooth
Lady Deathstrike
Omega Red
Cyber
Silver Samurai
Romulus
Ogun
S.H.I.V.A.
Matsu'o Tsurayaba (The Hand)

Any one of those could carry a Wolverine movie. So assuming one X-Men or Wolverine movie every two years and Fox has enough villains to last them until 2063! So unless every single X-Men movie they make from here on out tanks hard, there's simply no way they're going to give up the license. And with the sheer quantity of characters they have their hands on, they could produce endless streams of movies and quite literally go decades without having to be worried about duplicating villains, or hell, X-Men team lineups! Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto would probably be the only three characters that they'd ever have to worry about recasting.
 
I'm everyone else on this one, Fantastic Four and X-Men would be the ones id want the most with Marvel. FF would open up a lot of possibilities for the cosmic side of Marvel, and X-Men would be just amazing if done right, but as stated before its gonna milked til the very end, but maybe they'd be willing to let it go for the right price, although with the good first impressions first class is getting, that might not be the case. A man can hope.
 
It would be funny if Fox had all of the X-Men but Marvel had Wolverine. Neither would ever be able to be used quite in the way they want that would bring maximum commercial success.
 
Wolverine is part of the X-men package...so there is no way they'd be separated
 
Wolverine's and Spider-Man being Avengers members is kinda like Michael Jordan in the MLB, yeah it happened, but that's not what people remember them for.
 
I don't mind Spidey being an Avenger.

But Wolverine is a cold blooded killer with an incredibly short fuse. He shouldn't be on a team that is in the public eye like the Avengers. He's only there because of $$$. At least with Spidey there is some actual plausible reasoning.

Wolverine on the Secret Avengers? Maybe.
 
Yeah, but I think Spidey works best as a solo hero with occasional collaborations with other heroes when the job calls for it.

Cold blooded...I think not?
Wolverine is quick to kill nowadays but he kills those who deserve it...he doesnt just go out killing everyone in sight
 
I understand that. But the main Avengers team, that is in the public eye, shouldn't be about that. Wolverine is kill first, ask questions later, even today. Plus it isn't just kill, it's stab to death or eviscerate.

You throw Wolverine into a room of bad guys, what does he do? He completely eviscerates everyone in there like it's nothing.

You throw Captain America into a room of bad guys, what does he do? He just beats the crap out of them.

EXACTLY!!! I love Wolvie as a character, but he definitely should not be on the Avengers.

Agreed totally with this and your analogy. The only reason the two are on that team is because Marvel and Bendis wanted to put the two most popular characters on their biggest team book to boost sales. But both seem out of place.

Wolverine more so than Spider-Man. If Spider-Man had accepted the Avengers' offer to join them back in the 60s (can't remember the issue... anyone?), then he would've been a long-established member, and might've fitted in. Now, he's been a loner for so long that he seems forced.
 
Don't forget that they can also reboot any of these series whenever they start losing their edge.

But I'm not as heartbroken about the X-Men being separated from the rest of the MCU as I am with Spidey, DD, GR and the FF.

Even when collecting comics I sort of ignored all the X-teams and mutant stuff because it felt like it was in its own world for the most part.

Are you thinking of Spider-Man Annual #3?
Spidey was also in Avengers #11 [I think], but I do not recall if he was offered membership then...
 
Since Fox owned the Silver Surfer long before they got the FF, I wonder if the FF returning to Marvel would include the Surfer as well, or if that would have to be it's own deal?

I'll take a Daredevil movie that doesn't make me want to stab my eyes with a fork, thank you.

Ditto on a Fantastic Four movie.
 

That's something I'd love to see. But not the movie Fantastic Four Dr Doom version. That would end up as one corporate type against another, which is what Doom should never have been.

I would love to see a proper time travelling tale taking both Iron Man and Doom back to the time of Camelot, meeting King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay. That would be awesome and a pretty unique superhero movie, since that kind of thing has never been done before (everything has all been pretty standard superhero tales).
 
The directors cut of DD was pretty enjoyable save for a couple of scenes and modifications, I'd have to say it was one of my favourite Affleck performances.
