Disney also own Marvel, so I guess they could do whatever the fuck they want with any Marvel property.

Actually no that probably isn't true, as not even Marvel can do anything with any other Marvel properties without legal BS.
For example, take X-MEN and Avengers. In last summer's X-Men, the character of "Quicksilver"'s relations are implied but never outright stated in the film due to copyright issues. Quicksilver is also in the upcoming Avengers : Age of Ultron but this was problematic too because of copyright issues. (They couldn't resolve them in time for Avengers 2012). The catch? No reference to Quicksilver's membership in the Avengers can be made in an "X-Men" film, and no allusion to his relations to the X-Men or Magneto, and they must be played by different actors.
