Prior to the big superhero movie craze, the rights to the individual properties were sold seperately. Before special effects caught up, it was really dificult to make a good superhero movie.
A lot of the rights were purchased a lont time ago too. Spiderman was purchased by Sony in 1985. X-men was purchased in 1994.
If Marvel were to redo it now, you can bet they'd want them all under one umbrella and we'd be seeing cameos and cross marketing everywhere.
