Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ascended to noticeable quality and greater storylines from Marvel Comics have become possibly the most important factor, Marvel has endeavored to locate some shared view with Fox, so that there could be character swaps between the two organizations.

In any case, that extension building has never truly worked out, and in the growing pressure, there have been some extreme moves, with things like 'Fantastic Four' and 'X-Men' comics set aside for later, keeping in mind the end goal to further characters and properties that advantage the MCU.

Regardless of the considerable rumors all along, it's found out that Fox Studios and Marvel Studios clearly get alongside, or possibly have an adequate relationship to swap characters. "Kurt Russell's Ego the Living Planet in the new Guardians movie was the character that Fox swapped with Marvel to [change] Negasonic Teenage Warhead powers," offered Paul Wernick, Deadpool screenwriters, and executive producer. 

Comic-book fans most likely saw that Negasonic Teenage Warhead's forces were somewhat extraordinary in the 'Deadpool' motion picture than in the comics; with a specific end goal to change her capacities and utilize the character's name, Fox needed to get an endorsement from Marvel Studios. Luckily for them, Marvel needed to utilize Ego the Living Planet in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'. However, Fox had the rights to that character, likely as a feature of their Fantastic Four bundle.

This isn't the first run through of a character swap amongst Fox and Marvel has gotten to be known, as per reports, Marvel needed to exchange the rights to Daredevil for Silver Surfer and Galactus. Fox clearly said no, and Daredevil's rights did a reversal to Marvel and turned into the Netflix TV arrangement.

Putting with or without the agreement wrangling, however, what this eventually means is that we get Kurt Russell as Peter Quill's father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and a more engaged powerset for Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool: two things that most fans are looking forward to.
