The characters are all owned by Marvel. Marvel is owned by Disney.
Sony doesnt “own” the Spider-man franchise. Sony has an exclusive license from Marvel to use Spider-man in movies; that means only they can produce Spider-man movies. The license is from before Marvel had their own movie studio.
Fox also has a similar license for the X-Men/Fantastic Four.
For any characters where Marvel hasn’t given anyone else an exclusive movie license, they can use those characters in their own movies.
