WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - XMEN97 FINALE out now

There is a lot of webbing here, but it all comes down to money, and it’s easy to understand why both sides refused to give ground. Disney asked that future Spider-Man films be a 50/50 co-financing arrangement between the studios, and there were discussions that this might extend to other films in the Spider-Man universe. Sony turned that offer down flat, and I don’t believe they even came back to the table to figure out a compromise. Led by Tom Rothman and Tony Vinciquerra, Sony just simply didn’t want to share its biggest franchise. Sony proposed keeping the arrangement going under the current terms where Marvel receives in the range of 5% of first dollar gross, sources said. Disney refused.

Sources said Disney’s top brass for the past several months has sought new terms for Feige and the Marvel cross-pollination to continue. As the Spider-Man relationship grew, Feige and Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman spoke about the possibility of a wider involvement in the Sony-controlled Spider-man universe, which contains 900 characters. I’m told that Feige lent an unofficial hand with the blockbuster Venom, but I’ve also been told that that film was far from the polished product that grossed $856 million worldwide, until Rothman himself spent a good long time in the editing room helping to get it there.

It is understandable that the fiscally shrewd Rothman would balk at giving up half of Sony’s biggest franchise to Marvel. After all, Marvel already owns the merchandising on Spider-Man. Does the Mouse really need half of the movie universe also? Sony so far has decided that as valuable as Feige is, Disney is asking too high a price.

Sources said that Sony reasoned that they will be fine, without Feige. The creative template has been set on the Spider-Man films, and Watt and Holland are in place along with Amy Pascal, who became producer with Feige after she exited the executive suite after presiding over the previous Spider-man iterations directed by Sam Raimi and Marc Webb as Sony Pictures chief.
 
Sony is a business with their own set of shareholders. With their success of Venom, Spider-Verse, etc. they felt like they can do **** on their own.

Listen we got Spider-man in 5 movies so far? Wish we had a trilogy but whatever.

Either way Sony can go to hell, especially the Amy Pascal chick
 
So, how’s the current deal with the mcu.. are there no more mcu spideys coming or are they contracted for a number more?


looks like two more movies are moving forward but without feige... how they separate from the mcu is all up int he air or if theyll do their thing while still in the mcu and taint the product... we shall see... or they might just scrap it and force holland to be in the venomverse

Sources said there are two more Spider-Man films in the works that are meant to have director Jon Watts and Tom Holland front and center. Unless something dramatic happens, Feige won’t be the lead creative producer of those pictures.
 
i feel dumb about this

can someone explain what happens going forward?

basically they’ll be spider-man movies but they’ll have nothing to do with past and future mcu characters?

no more happy hogan too right?

reports are saying they'll continue on with holland and follow up HC and FFH:


Nevertheless, Sony is reportedly optimistic about the future of the Spider-Manfranchise, even without the helping hand of Marvel, as the studio believes it's already set a solid foundation to build off of with Homecoming and Far From Home.


I think the deal is still on the table and FFH does lend itself to move on its own without the rest of MCU i guess... its probably still the same deal money-wise its just that Feige wont be involved at all and he wont give them permission to use anything MCU related
 
Spiderman Gone! You can't have Sony freelancing with their own ideas with Feige in the producer role. This is going to be interesting moving forward, I'd imagine the MCU has all of his current costumes trademarked.

How exactly does SONY plan to explain Peter Parker without Happy Hogan or Stark Tech?
 
Like I said in the Spider-Man thread, I'm still surprised and happy the deal happened in the first place.

I get it from Sony's side, they have a prized asset and have to protect it, especially after the recent successes for the franchise. They have to figure that the reset was the most important part and they can continue on the story and vision from here without Marvel. Disney was being Disney and wanted more and more, but it'll be a disappointment not to have Spider-Man in the MCU anymore.
 
SOMEBODY HELP ME, I’M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK
