It took 5 Spidey films to make 4 Billion.
It took 7 X-Men films to make 3 billion.
Avengers made 1.5 billion by itself.
While the last two X flicks were critical and financial successes, they are actually making less money than Sony's Spidey and the MCU.
Why not tap into that revenue stream, especially if you can retain the film rights and creative control?
They don't have to do it at this point. They have plenty of characters between the X-Men and the FF, but we know cash rules.
I don't think anything is imminent. If I were the people at Fox, I'd sit back in the cut and see how the Spidey/MCU collaboration works, then consider picking up the phone if the results are good.
