I'm beginning to think I'm bad at this...
So. Here's the update for Tuesday, March 25th:

You know what would be awesome? If the folks at Sony or Fox secretly struck a deal with Disney/Marvel and had either Spider-Man or some X-Men (respectively) show up in or around Avengers 2.
It won't happen, of course. At least, definately not with Sony. That's why they rushed out the godawful Amazing Spider-Man reboot, so they could hold on to the liscences and not have a very popular character revert back to Marvel.
But. And don't get me wrong, this is completely based off of my assumptions and we all know what assuming does. But. We MAY see some leeway on the x-men issue with fox.
Already announced for Avengers 2 are two characters named Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch. Canonically, in the comics, these two are the son and daughter (respectively) of Magneto, the main villain from most of the X-Men stuff. Which would make them mutants, and Mutants are SQUARELY in the Fox wheelhouse. Now, Disney could easily hand wave the two's origin as "We were born this way, don't ask questions." Or they could rewrite it from the ground up, but I'm hoping they don't.
I'm hoping that somewhere in the back rooms of the movie business, a deal was struck between the house of mouse and the murdochskateers for some continuity. Wouldn't it be just AWESOME if the after credits shot from Captain America 2 was Steve Rogers runs into an old ww2 buddy? Nobody sees who Rogers is looking at, but he just looks startled and says "Logan?" before a fade to black.
It would be almost as big a 'HOLY SHIT' moment as the very first "Avengers Initiative" after credits teaser in Iron Man 1, and it would go a LONG way towards recreating the buzz about a feature of the Marvel movies that has kinda become expected at this point.
A man can dream, can't he?
See you later today, lovelies.
