Thought about this while reading about the Avengers.....
Does marvel have any say who appears in movies not made by their own studio? For example now that their is a Marvel Studios (or w/e its called) couldnt they just decline the rights of other characters being in movies made by fox/sony/etc.....
Spiderman is being remade, so couldnt Marvel just be like, um you are only allowed to use the bad guys you have already used. No new ones? Or do all the bad guys fall under the umbrella of the named franchise?
Like with the X-men, Cable has never been used (same with Bishop)... So could Marvel just tell Fox, sorry guys those characters are off the table, and make a movie themselves with those characters?
