There is no way Marvel will settle for a few points on a television show they don't have to approve. They have ALL the leverage here. They can say no and Fox can't do anything about it.
Marvel/Disney has been very willing to forego "free money" when it comes to Fox for merchandising and comic book tie-ins. They are simply not doing any of this out of pure spite. Why would they suddenly be willing to let Fox walk for a small nominal fee now? That's absurd.
No, Fox is going to have to give to have a hope of getting. And the one thing they have that Marvel wants is the ENTIRE F4 franchise; which thankfully happens to be completely valueless to Fox. In fact it's less than valueless its costly since it's estimated that they will lose $60M on this film! That's worse than Lone Ranger and John Carter!!!
Oh and don't believe the "leaked info" that Fox is still planning on making the F4 sequel. That's just bluster while it's still in theaters and a last minute attempt to keep M/D from completely barreling over them on the negotiating table. They would be beyond mad to attempt a sequel to the most hated film of the new century that they lost $60M on.
