2) How much money have the MCU films made in total so far?

 they have made more than $18.2bn (£13.7bn) to date in total so far.

3) Why did Marvel create the Avengers films?

6) Who owns the rights to Spiderman and why is the character now appearing in Marvel films?


Long before Marvel Studios existed, Marvel Entertainment had sold the rights to some of its characters to other filmmakers.
Spider-Man was sold to Sony. The studio made a Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, and soon afterwards rebooted the franchise less successfully with Andrew Garfield as the webslinger.

7) Which company owns the rights to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men?

The Fantastic Four series and the X-Men were sold to 20th Century Fox, though Marvel Studios expect to regain the rights to both properties this year due to a merger between Disney and Fox. The merger means Marvel could introduce these characters into the MCU in future films.
