Sony would be the ones to have to do it. They are already in Version 2 of Spiderman and if the Sinister Six plot fails they would have ran threw a big portion of the Spiderman universe. Plus a cross over is easy with a single character, and Sony would benefit from the carryover it would have for their own movie.

As crappy as the Fantastic Four movies were, both grossed about 300 million each at the domestic box office.
A good Fantastic Four movie has the chance to gross 500+ mil. But they aren't going to lose the rights to make 200 million, because it would be better for another company to make 400 million.
As for cross-overs between studies, it's a little unlikely. The people who hold the rights want total creative control over their product. You either let some other studio do their own version of your character or you merge the universes into one canon. That other studio can then mess with the canon of your universe.
It's been done a few times with characters that don't rely on canon/storytelling (Ex. Roger Rabbit), but the comic book community is too critical.
