I understand that the first time that the Watcher shows up in the comics is in the Fantastic Four to warn about Galactus, but he is involved throughout several events in the Marvel Universe (such as Civil War). There is also the running gag that Stan Lee is secretly playing that character since he is playing some sort of non-important character in every movie.
That all being said, with Galactus, the Silver Surfer and the Fantastic Four being owned by another studio, and the Watcher often being tied to those properties, which studio owns the rights to Uatu?

Updated answer:
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,
we see Stan Lee conversing with three Watchers. His character is credited as "Watcher Informant," confirming who the characters are meant to be.
This means that Marvel Studios likely either already held the rights to the race, or made a deal similar to the one they used to acquire Ego's rights from Fox.
