Can there be an MCU Galactus?

[ImprobableQuestion]

I can see why the Fantastic Four are closer to Galactus than some because of the early stories, but nowadays he's a much more universal entity. So does Sony own Galactus, or can he appear in the MCU in a more traditionally large-hatted fashion?

No, Fox owns him.

Right. Fox not Sony. I forgot. That kind of sucks though.

Though as a consolation, they seem to be pushing the Celestials in the movies as the big cosmic dudes. And I think a few of the heralds are useable. Which is still cool and opens up a lot of things I never expected to see in a movie.

I think it's well-established that Galactus is part of the Fantastic Four catalog of properties so he can't show up in the MCU. But it might be one of those characters like Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch in that it could use both. If a director really wanted to use Galactus and had the same clout as Joss Whedon, I think they might be able to get away with it. But absent that kind of influence, I don't think he'll be showing up in the MCU anytime soon. That's a shame too. Would love to see him in a future Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
