Long story short, Kevin Feige was able to convince his Disney overlords to move Marvel Studios away from Marvel Entertainment (& Ike Perlmutter) and become a separate entity within Disney. Now Feige only has to answer to said Disney overlords, & Ike Perlmutter has no say in what goes on over at Marvel Studios. The only control Perlmutter now has over the MCU is the TV side of things. Not too long after this happened, we've seen signs of improvement concerning Marvel-Fox relations.
Also on a slightly unrelated note, Marvel Studios & Fox did a trade. Fox gave Marvel Studios Ego the Living Planet to use in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, & Marvel Studios gave Fox Negasonic Teenage Warhead to use in Deadpool in exchange.
As mentioned before, it all depends on when Marvel's stance changed & if Capcom got the deal inked in time for this change-of-heart. If Marvel ironed things out with Fox before Capcom reached out to Marvel, they're in the clear. If the rumor is true that the change won't take root until sometime in 2017, then Capcom may be screwed until possibly DLC.As a 90s X-Men fan first and a Marvel fan a distant second...I'm gonna have a real bad time no matter what happens with this, aren't I?
...Being real?
I'd honestly prefer this, at this point. A more focused product that could get as wild as it wants because it'd be all Marvel (and brings it back to 1 v 1 and Gems) would make me happier.
Besides, barring DMC and Monster Hunter, most of what Capcom could offer for their side likely won't set my soul ablaze anyway, so I wouldn't miss seeing Ryu and Chun-li fight Wolverine, Captain America and etc. for the umpteenth time.
It's likely fake, but I'd love for it to be real.
wow fantastic 4 is coming soon?
Maybe I was wrong, but ... I would not expect FOX related characters

Not all hope is lost for the Fox characters, my friend. It may be dire at the current time, but not impossible. And remember, this is me saying this.
I would prefer this too. The Capcom side roster is really boring at this point. MvC3 did a decent job by bringing characters like Arthur and Frank West, and Zero (instead of Mega Man), but hot damn, I'm so fed up of Ryu, Chun Li, and Morrigan, it's not even funny. C. Viper was probably the highlight of the Street Fighter cast there...

If Jim Lee era X-Men is what you want then the only hope you have is costume DLC.

X-Men.Which characters are fox related?
That has to be fake right.... right?

Make Gambit happen Capcom. I know you can do it.
I agree and disagree. I think Capcom's roster is still really huge and diverse but with series that has as many awesome and dynamic characters as Street Fighter and Darkstalkers it sucks that we see the same boring ones every time. Obviously there's no way you can cut them but I really wish there was more room to show off other characters (Hsien-Ko was awesome in 3).

Of the ones in UMvC3...Which characters are fox related?
Ehhhh... You've got a point. I agree that Capcom has diverse IP set to pull from... But I wish they did away with generic people like Ryu and Chun Li.
Off topic: your username is awesome.
It's too bad that he's a X-Men character.
Gambit has a movie in the works. If Fox/marvel finally agree on something it would be in their best interest to push their IP, Gambit, onto this platform. I am sure Rocket will be back.But Marvel won't.
Put Asura in this motherfucker already
No source after 15 mins. Gotta be fake.
Yeah. It's probably a play on that MGR2 picture that I posted above.

Ryu is their icon. He has been for decades.
