Disney-Sony Standoff Ends Marvel Studios & Kevin Feige’s Involvement In ‘Spider-Man’

I actually didn't know Sony wanted to shove Iron Man into Homecoming.
Not that I actually mind that Iron Man is in the films, I don't mind the MCU cross-pollination that much, but it's funny how the "Iron Man Jr." that people square the blame on was less of a Disney choice if true.
I don't think it's preposterous. So if a known member on Era starts tweeting out racist shit, he shouldn't be banned because it happened offsite? Lol what? He knew exactly what he was posting. What are you defending?
Screw that MCU baggage, looking forward to Spidey focusing on being Spidey without snap/post snap, Stark backed rubbish.
Having Spider-Man in the film would not have saved it, unless it happened to be a Spider-Man film where the villain, not the main protagonist was Venom.
It's better than the last five live action films Sony has done based on the character's universe. They've made a total of two good live action Spider-Man movies.
What the heck. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse not withstanding, I wasn't the biggest Tom Holland / recent Spider-man movies, but if they go this route they need to give the series a decent rest, I'm tired of all the reboots/origin stories.
I get that it would diminish it, since it was neatly tied together in the end, but I would love to see more Miles. Or at least more animated super hero films from the same team even if completely separate from the previous plot.
Fair point; honestly I think the whole balance of it depends on whether or not Disney splits further costs such as marketing 50-50. If so, then it comes out to 50-50 on profit as well and on a film with a profit like Homecoming, Sony is essentially no worse off. It all depends on the nature of the co-financing agreement, and my limited understanding of a co-financing agreement is in fact that such costs are often split. Unfortunately we just don't know the details currently.
Gotta hand it to Sony, they made one Spider-Man movie that was actually good and it makes everyone think they're a plucky underdog and not a monolithic megacorp in their own right.
Off site stupidity should not be his saving grace here. The staff has banned multiple sources and sites and he should be one
It's inexcusable for a 41 year old man to behave like this and doesn't deserve to be part of this community 🤷♂️
No ones mad
I joined this site because I was told staff handled toxic clowns like this accordingly
Maybe for blatant racism, but saying that XBS will be better than PS5 is not racism.
There's no "allowed." Sony owns the film rights to Spider-Man and Holland is under contract with Sony.
Sony can literally do whatever they want with both, there's no "allowed" that comes into play here.
... Sony currently shoulders ALL the costs for Spider-Man/verse movies. The change is splitting those costs 50/50 with Disney for exchange of a 50/50 share of the revenue which understandably Sony would be balk at but it would probably also mean Disney/Marvel being involved with those other Sony produced Marvel based movies and probably taking creative control over them like they did Spider-Man and possibly making the live action ones actually connected to the MCU.
Alright, mistake on my part. (And while I didn't refer to the movies being produced in relation to the deal in question, no, I wasn't thinking or including Venom on that part.
*That's N. Tyranno )
Wait, Marvel has the game rights? Hmmm
Disney tries to negotiate with Sony
Sony won't play ball
Marvel tries withholding Spider-Man rights as a chip, threatens the sequel as a multiplat/Xbox exclusive
Sony buys Insomniac so defang the threat

I don't actually think this was what happened
Where in his post did you get the idea that he somehow stans for Sony?
I mean is it stupid he's being emotional? Sure I guess but I also wouldn't consider a blanket tweet about defending Tim Rothman toxic.
Also you can't get banned for tweeting jfc.
As it stands, Sony WANTS their solo Spider-Man stuff in the MCU, but with Disney getting no input on their individual films.
But sure, they're getting the raw end here.
Uhh, off-site stupidity does not (necessarily) equate to off-site racism. One does not require the same response/action as the other.
Yes!!!
Make her origin be that she went from our Earth to the MCU after hearing this news :v
That's fair, but still no reason for some MCU fans to lose their mind over it.
Lots of Spiderverse love but why is nobody going to bat for the actual best Spider-Man movie, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2.
If you started permabanning people by trawling off-site posts for console (or comic book) fanboyism this place would be a ghost town.
It's not okay to shit on people. If someone deleted their embarrassing tweet, maybe it's because they were embarrassed by it. For someone to then repost that tweet with the express intent to further mock its author... Like, you don't know what that person is going through. It's not okay and it is never okay. Surely it doesn't take someone admitting publicly that they're struggling with mental health issues for you to see any merit in sparing them public humiliation.
Sony is a conglomerate and each division is a separate company
Also why are people defending the dog piling of a dude not even involved in this thread because he's an Xbox fanboy? Who cares, why is it ok just because he has an era account?
Tobey Spider Man comeback?????
Seriously though, did Disney have to fuck it up? They were doing so well.
Weird to blame it on Disney. This seems like Sony wanted to keep getting more of the cake and Disney weren't taking their crap.
Completely understandable, good luck sony and spiderman lmao.
-Sony is making a Morbius movie with Jared Leto.
-Sony leaks originally wanted a hip Peter Parker who was into EDM and Tough Mudder
-Tom Rothman tried to sabotage X-men 1, didn't want to make Deadpool, and just generally resents superheroes
That should give you a hint of the minds that would be handling Spider-Man 3.

With how much people seemingly love Raimi's Spider-Man films, I'm starting to get an itch to rewatch them for the first time since their theatrical releases.
I'm guessing Disney won't bend much on the 50/50 thing. Like I said I didn't expect them to come this aggressive, but given that they did, they want the license fully back in house sooner rather than later. And again I think the 50/50 is co financing and co ownership of the license.
I doubt they said co finance and you keep all the profits. That's a good way for your stock to take a nosedive. My guess is 50/50 finance, 50/50 profit, 50/50 ownership of the license, Sony still distributor (i.e. 8-9% of the gross) and creative control. Sony still controls when and which movies get released.
I think the article is wrong on that. As early as FY 2018 Disney specified that they pay a percentage of the gross to Sony. This is from the 2011 contract, which got amended to reduce the amount in 2015.
