For example, Disney cannot portray mutants on film, because those rights still belong to someone else. They can't portray mutants. But they are fully capable of portraying witchbreed, the counterparts of mutants from the 1602 universe.

Witchbreed are simply people who were born with magic in their bloodline. Like Elsa (through Ingrid) or Zelena (through Cora, though she didn't have magic at that time) or even Red (through Anita and Granny). So they already exist in our Once-verse.

But yeah, Sony still has the rights to Spidey, while Fox (?) has the rights to the mutant X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, who are all mutates. Hulk's rights are also somewhat tied up. However, both Hulk and Spiderman are in/will be in the MCU due to clever negotiations, that allows MCU creative control, but the owning studio the profits.
