In terms of films being pulled so well unexpectedly, one can say that for most of the films with those characters, especially the ones that are generally lesser known and practically unknown outside of the US (like GotG, Ant-Man, and Dr. Strange). All we need now is Fox to give up their rights to it, and we might finally get a movie that has the Fantastic Four in it that is actually good.

As pointed out by Gail Simone on Twitter, it's pretty impressive how Marvel managed to make this whole franchise as successful as it has on their own, with the properties they had at the time, without access to their biggest ones (X-Men, and at the time Spider-Man).
