Don't those rights run out soon though? Read something about that.
Even if they don't no way will they not hammer out a deal. It's a cash cow waiting to be milked.

They've not hammered anything out regarding X-Men or Fantastic Four. Fox is adamant(ium) on keeping them.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote about the complicated rights issues concerning the original films. They do say that there’s a chance Fox and Disney could reach some kind of deal concerning the first two trilogies, but most of the problems surround Episode IV, which they hold ” in perpetuity in all media worldwide.” A deal that Lucas likely signed just to try and get the movie released back in the late 1970s.
In 2020, the rights for the rest of the films will revert back to LucasFilm. (Now AKA Disney.) Fox still plans on releasing Episode II and III in 3D as scheduled.

Besides, Disney only purchased Lucasfilm for 4 billion. The studio made OVER 7 BILLION this year alone. Just this year. If they want to make a deal with Fox, they'll make a deal with Fox. And Fox would be an idiot asshole not to make a shared deal, similar to Marvel and Sony made for Spider-Man.

I have to imagine they know what kind of money they're leaving on the table. They've seen the Marvel stuff and they keep telling Marvel to stuff it and keep making bad Fantastic Four and X-Men movies because they don't care.

Could be. Or it could be that they needed a precedent. Or it could be a deal that they like hasn't been offered yet. I'm not in the room where i happens. I imagine you'll see a deal for FF WAY before X-Men, though. The X-Men franchise makes money and has a million directions it can go in. Logan will probably revitalize the property (which is ironic since it'll be the last Huge Jacketman Wolverine). But everything I'm hearing about the New Mutants sounds promising.
FF, on the other... has never been lucrative. It's a train wreck. IF they were going to strike a deal, it would be there, I'd think. But again, I'm just sitting a keyboard far far away from these fat cats and their studio sunshine. What the fuck do I know about anything?
In July 2008, Jason Statham expressed interest in appearing as Daredevil in the future. Statham requested "just give me the chance, I would love to be Daredevil." Frank Miller commented in agreement "I think he should be Daredevil too."[69] In October 2008, 20th Century Fox executive Tom Rothman said "a Daredevil reboot is something we are thinking very seriously about." Rothman added that "what it really needs is, it needs a visionary at the level that Chris Nolan was. It needs someone, it needs a director, honestly, who has a genuine vision."[70] By February 2010, 20th Century Fox and New Regency were looking to develop the reboot with News Corp., with Peter Chernin producing and David Scarpa writing the script.[71] On March 15, 2011, it was announced that filmmaker David Slade would be directing the reboot,[72] but he later had to drop out due to other obligations. Fringe writer and producer Brad Caleb Kane was hired to pen the Slade-directed film.[73] On September 3, 2012, Duncan died, precluding him from reprising his role as Kingpin.[74][75]
Later, it was announced that should a sequel or reboot not start filming by October 10, 2012, the rights to the Daredevil franchise would revert from Fox back to Marvel. In early August 2012, Fox scrambled to find a replacement for David Slade, who dropped out of the director's chair due to scheduling conflicts. The studio briefly met with Joe Carnahan, for the job—however, Carnahan said on Twitter that his pitch, described as a hard-boiled '70s thriller, had gone up in smoke. Several sources commented that Fox had given up on the reboot, and were prepared to let the rights revert to Marvel and their parent company, The Walt Disney Company.[76] On April 23, 2013, Kevin Feige confirmed that the rights for Daredevil returned to Marvel Studios and Disney, opening the possibility of including the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[77] That speculation was confirmed with the announcement of an original Netflix Daredevil television series, which premiered on the streaming service in April 2015, with English actor Charlie Cox in the title role.[78]
