10 Worst Marvel Movie Decisions

1. Letting Their Properties Go In The First Place

Remember when the Civil War trailer broke the internet? That little 'hey, everyone' confirmed that Spider-Man was finally coming to the MCU and the world went mad. How about the news of the Disney/Fox merger, after all these years bringing the X-Men and Fantastic Four under the Marvel Studios umbrella?

There were celebrations when each of these properties came back to Marvel from Sony and Fox, but just imagine if they never left in the first place.

Throughout the 1990s, Marvel was struggling to stay afloat and resorted to selling the film rights to a number of key characters and properties in order to make some quick cash. In fairness, this obviously helped see the company through a rough patch and make it to the other side of the 20th century intact.

At the time Marvel had no idea just how big the MCU would become, and just how much the fact that there were movies in separate universes would mean to their fans. If Marvel could have just held on to these rights all those years ago, Hulk could have fought Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, there would be no need for two different Quicksilvers, and we could have had something incredible like Avengers Vs X-Men instead of Age of Ultron.
