afaik, Lady Death has always been an indie title. I'm not aware of the imprints being owned by either of the big houses.

And even if it was owned by Marvel, I doubt the licensing rights would have gone to any studio since she's a more obscure character.

Different character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(Marvel_Comics)

Oh. Considering there an *actual* character named Lady Death with her own solo comics, that's somewhat confusing. And considering that Death is used as a side-character mostly tied to Thanos, I would imagine the rights always stayed with Marvel/Disney because why wouldn't they?

And looking through the wiki, most of her usage seems to involve other properties Disney owns (Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, etc), so her rights are probably tied to those other franchises meaning Disney almost certainly owns the film rights. If Disney didn't, the company most likely to own the film rights might have been Fox since s/he's a cosmic entity.

I will mention that Fox had a Silver Surfer cartoon during the 90s which featured a lot of cosmic characters -- including Thanos (with "Lady Chaos" instead of Death), Ego the Living Planet, etc -- which Marvel apparently had the film rights to prior to the 21st Century Fox buyout.
