I do believe 20th century fox has the rights to Deadpool.
Well, they haven't made a Deadpool film nor have they announced recently a Deadpool film in production (in fact, from what I've read, there was a test film shot in order to convince the heads of Fox to go forward with it, but there has not been any updates on it, and the closest thing to any information is a release year, and that's not even a guarantee that its in production, since a Deadpool movie has been in development hell for a while), and if they don't make a film with a Marvel character within a certain timeframe, the rights go back to Marvel. That's why Fox did The Amazing Spider-Man after Spider-Man 3, because the time was running out on the filmrights (this is also why you we're getting Days of Future's Past since there's been a while after the last X-Men related movie). Since Deadpool has a small fanbase in comparison to Spider-Man, the odds of there being a Deadpool film are slim, thus the film rights will eventually end up back in Marvel's hands soon.
Besides, according to the IMDb Trivia Section for The Avengers, the filmmakers secured the rights from Columbia Pictures to feature OsCorp Tower from The Amazing Spider-Man in New York. Unfortunately, by then digital rendering of the skyline was already complete and it could not appear. So, since Fox hasn't announced a Deadpool movie being worked on, there's nothing keeping Marvel from securing the rights for Deadpool from Fox for an appearance in an Avengers movie.
