But with a license, Marvel doesn't have to do anything except sit back and collect the checks. Fox and Sony have to do all the work of making and promoting the film(s).

True, Marvel could potentially make more money if those properties were under their control again. But imagine how much money Disney would have to shell out to make and promote 4-6 films a year instead of the two they're doing this year.

That's not even mentioning how much work would be involved in making all those films. I would hazard a guess that the production schedule would slow down dramatically if Marvel Studios became the only one to produce Marvel films. Then again, maybe they need to, given that article in the NY Post.
