I didn't say that Fox MUST lose the rights for the X-Men to join the MCU, I'm saying that as long as the movies continue to be successful they won't share them with Marvel, because they won't need to. Besides, one thing being more successful than another doesn't automatically make the less successful one a failure. That's like arguing that Avengers: Age of Ultron was a failure because it didn't earn as much as Jurassic World, or that when Star Wars: The Force Awakens earns more than it then that will make Jurassic World a failure.

It's the same with movies that aren't blockbusters. Just because a movie like Whiplash or The Theory of Everything doesn't make the kind of money that Transformers: Age of Extinction makes does not make it a failure. As long as there is continued success, that is all that matters to these studios.

Hell, we have no idea if the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Defenders will ever team up, so that is totally irrelevant.
