So, if you guys could wave a magic wand and the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four would go back to Marvel Studios and you were in charge of making the movies, what would you have them do?
My ideas:
Set the FF in the 60's, alongside the Howard Stark-era SHIELD (and possibly Hank Pym's Ant-Man?). I think that the FF should remain the first Marvel super-heroes, and that the 60's tone suits the story really well. (Much better than the X-Men, which I think of as a forward-looking story.) Imagine Mad Men meets the Incredibles. And, it should go without saying, that the characters are not all the same age. Reed and Ben are older (late 30's), Sue is in the middle (20's) and Johnny is a teen.
Then I'd set the X-Men in the current MCU. I'd go for less a silver-age, and more a bronze-age tone than the current MCU movies. (IE more like the current X-films, less like the Avengers, but not so different in tone that they clash.) I'd base the first movie off of the Dennis Hopeless/Jamie McKelvie X-Men Season 1 OGN, and have the original five X-Men still be the original five. Then, for the second movie, I'd bring the All-New All-Different X-Men, including introducing Wolverine by having him fight the Hulk. I'd also include Nightcrawler, Colossus (with a Russian accent), Storm (with some kind of exotic accent), and maybe Kitty? The new X-Men would rescue the original X-Men and then in future movies, they'd rotate in and out of the spotlight film by film. Having it set in the MCU would make it easier to do the real Phoenix/Dark Phoenix and other more far-out stuff that the current movies haven't approached.
I don't really know what I'd want done with Spidey, besides him being more involved with the street level Netflix guys, rather than the Avengers. I've never liked the whole Wolverine and Spider-Man join the Avengers thing.
