Fantastic Four would fit right in, though. Once they retire Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, Reed Richards would be a great replacement for the void Tony leaves as scientist in chief.
Yeah, the Spider-Man deal was easy because Sony had yet to really establish a cinematic universe they had planned with the Sinister 6 and everything. That, plus only having an old trilogy and a failed trilogy that everyone was pretty eager to forget about made for an easy hard reboot.
It will be interesting to see how they incorporate the X-Men/Mutants into the MCU. There's no way they would make this deal if they didn't plan on bringing them in. The most recent X-Men film was pretty forgettable, and with the soft reboot that they did with Days of Future Past, I think this next movie will be set in the 80s. They're either going to merge the universes or find a way to just to a hard reset of mutants. Both options seem to have pretty significant challenges.
