I'm with Spencerz. FF has the most chance of going back. Spider-Man is far too big of a cash cow for Sony to give up the rights, and they're struggling to find a new blockbuster franchise that could replace it. The only candidate? James Bond. And even HE won't be able to save the company without Spider-Man there. Fox, on the other hand, has a bajillion franchises to play with, including two of the biggest animation companies ever (Dreamworks and Blue Sky), X-Men, distribution until 2020 for Star Wars, and soon to come - Avatar. They won't be suffering any loss if FF gets sold back to Disney.
