As the video suggested its unclear if they have the right to do a cross-over. Licenses are very precise. Unless it stipulates what you want to do, you can't do it.
Fox already has the movie rights for the FF, the X-Men, and all characters and villains pertaining to those teams — like the (original) Skrulls, the Sh'ar, Annihilus, Kang, etc. Fox can produce a movie combining these characters, which I think may be their next move following Age of Apocalypse.
Fox let Daredevil go. Too much time lapsed and they decided to not make more DD films.
Universal still holds the distribution rights for the Hulk.
Sony has Spider-Man and all his characters, but they and Marvel worked something out so Spider-Man can have a cameo in Captain America: Civil War.

No Stan Lee cameo? Count me in!
When i was little and had only the cash to follow DC or Marvel comics i went with DC. Sure they had Batman and The Flash, etc. that i liked, but what turned it for me, at 11 years old, was DC didn't have Stan Lee's face spouting bollocks at the start of every comic (that's what it seemed like).
Now in every Marvel film there's that one bit where they point the camera at him and it immediately takes me out of the film. I can't wait till they stop doing that.

Just edited out comment, which could be construed as snarky. Sorry!

Beyond that, you gotta ask the question one of these reviewers said today - maybe FF should just not be a movie at all. Not EVERY comic book needs to become a movie. Right now it looks like those Tim Story directed FF are pretty basically entertaining next to this smudge colored narrative ennui, and the Story FF are not very good at all.
IMHO, the Fantastic Four are easily the most challenging superhero team book to make work. To be successful you have to nail both the family dynamic of the team and the sense of wonder/in way over their head adventures. In the comics there haven't been many creators who were able to do that once Stan Lee and Jack Kirby left. John Byrne did it, Mark Waid did it, and Walter Simonsson did it, and Chris Claremont was able to do it in the X-Men/Fantastic Four cross-over (the less said about his later run on the Fantastic Four the better). Not many other writers came close.
With respect to the films, I thought Tim Story did a mostly decent job portraying the family aspect of the team, but he completely dropped the ball with Doctor Doom and made Galactus a cloud. I do think it is possible to make a great Fantastic Four movie, if for no other reason than that a spectacular Fantastic Four movie has already been made. It is called The Incredibles.

Spot on. Totally. Every damned word.
