That's just pure fan speculation and has zero basis in fact. Marvel supports the film, and it looks fine. The choice for no toys by hasbro was because of how much the movie was fast tracked at Fox(it was still being filmed up until last month, costumes weren't finalized until deep into the year, and the toy cycle is longer than that at hasbro compared to the far lower time for minimates), alongside the fact that there's already thor, cap, and MU on shelves, plus ironman staying on shelves. Marvel doesn't care, and disney doesn't either. They still get royalties from it either way (It still mirrors many Ultimate X-Men elements, and has its own universe designation anyway too). If they did care, they'd just buy the contract out from Fox, like they did the distro from Paramount after cap and thor. Even if they did though, they'd probably still keep Singer on board and have Vaughn direct so nothing would have changed. Besides, X-Men movies aren't the priority from Marvel right now. So if they bought the rights back, we wouldn't have one until possibly 2020 or so.

We may hopefully see some X-Men characters in MU around DVD time, I wouldn't expect them around the movie in theaters other than the giant size x-men box, and the two comic packs.

Hopefully a beast and Emma frost will come from it, but we'll see. The movie itself looks badass though with the newest trailers about havok, beast, mystique, and banshee.

As for Mystique being Nightcrawler's mom, that's unknown as yet(this isn't marvel-616, it's marvel-10005), but considering this movie has azazel which has been said to be Nightcrawlers father in the films too, as well as Mystique(which the films have only joked about being his mother in one offhanded remark), they may lay the groundwork for that with the sequel(s). Yes, XFC is setup to have a sequel, possibly even a trilogy before they go back to a real X4 movie. They also have plans for a new mutants movie still in the works. So the likelihood that Fox would give the rights back, or that marvel would want them back is zero. Marvel has too many films they are doing themselves as is, from avengers +sequels, to ironman +sequels, thor +sequels(maybe), cap +sequels, runaways (smallfaces), black panther, ironfist, luke cage, and even doctor strange. Other studios doing spider-man's universe and X-Men actually helps them since they can't do it themselves with the massive list they are working on bringing to the big screen.

There are no wave listings for waves 2011 wave 5+ (wave 16+). Not that it matters as the 2011 wave 3 (wave 14) won't hit until may/june followed by another revision wave or 2, then 2011 wave 4 (wave 15) in July/Aug/Sept. So a wave 5 won't be announced until SDCC, and won't hit shelves until probably around Sept/October/November. Which should be about the time this hits DVD.
