This is a cool idea. The MCU could use another story with Ultron, but I'm not sure it would warrant a movie or fit into any of the televisions shows.
This doesn't seem to have a place in MCU canon though, given the Hulk being as he is.
Isn't that Peter's costume from the Marvel attraction for Disneyland California?
I want six movies and six shows a year. It should be Marvel Time all year round.
Sony Pictures is estimated to be worth around $15 billion.
Thoughts? I think Sony would be nuts to sell Spidey, but who knows. I'm sure there's an amount of money they'd sell him for, but is that 5 billion?

If Disney is willing to pay Sony $5bn for the rights of Spider-Man, they should take it and run. Also, everyone at Disney who signed off on that offer should be fired immediately.
Wasn't there a rumor that Apple was interested in buying out Sony Pictures to bolster their Apple TV+ service? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for Disney to wait & see what happens with that, seeing as the Spider-Man film rights would default back to Disney in that scenario?
23. ASSIGNMENT.
23.a. SPE's Right to Assign. Subject to Section 23.b hereof, SPE shall be free to assign or license any or all of its rights hereunder, and/or to delegate any or all of its duties, obligations and liabilities, at any time and from time to time, to any person or entity. Upon such assignment, SPE shall be released and discharged of and from the delegated duties, obligations and liabilities if such assignment and/or delegation is to: (i) a person or entity into which SPE merges or is consolidated; or (ii) a person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of SPE's business and assets and which assumes such obligations in writing; or (iii) a financially responsible entity which is controlled by, under common control with, or controls SPE which assumes such obligations in writing; or (iv) a "Major Studio" (i.e., and expressly defined as limited to: Warner Bros., Fox, Disney, Paramount, Universal, or DreamWorks) or United States television network, which assumes such obligations in writing. Any purported assignment by SPE in violation of this Section 23 shall be void ab initio.
23.b. Limitations. SPE may not assign this Agreement in its entirety except to (i) a person or entity into which SPE merges or is consolidated, or (ii) a person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of SPE's business and assets and which assumes such obligations in writing, or (iii) a person or entity which is controlled by, under common control with, or controls SPE, or (iv) a Major Studio which assumes such obligations in writing. SPE may not assign its right to produce any Production to, or enter into a co-production agreement with, any entity except (i) any of the entities described in Section 23.b(i) - (iv) hereof, or (ii) in connection a transaction pursuant to which (A) SPE has creative control over the applicable Production, and (B) SPE initially controls all United States distribution rights with respect to the applicable Production and either controls or has the right to obtain (e.g., through the exercise of one or more options) such United States distribution rights for the entire term of copyright. Upon any assignment or delegation permitted under Section 23.b(i) - (iv) above, SPE shall be released and discharged of and from the delegated duties, obligations and liabilities.
23.c. Gardner v. Nike. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, SPE shall have the unrestricted right to assign or license to any person or entity, on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, or otherwise exploit, any or all rights, licenses or privileges with respect to each and every Production produced hereunder by such manner and means and on such terms and conditions as SPE deems appropriate, including without limitation the assignment or licensing of any exhibition, performance, broadcasting, or distribution rights to exhibitors, broadcasters, subdistributors, consumers, end-users and other Persons and the granting to other Persons of the right to further license or assign the rights granted to them by SPE. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit or restrict in any manner the full and unrestricted exercise by SPE (and its licensees) of the Productions as SPE deems appropriate, and this Section 23.c is intended by the parties to be a specific consent by Marvel to such licensing and assignment (and further licensing and assignment by SPE and its assignees and licensees) and to overcome any restrictions on such licensing or assignment arising under the case Gardner v. Nike.
Thanks for the correction. I guess that would explain Disney's potential desire to buy the rights wholesale.Unless it changed in 2015 or later then the rights are transferable. This FUD BS that the rights revert in the case of a sale is annoying. They even have a section for Gardner vs Nike to ensure that the rights transfer.
Excerpt from the 2011 contract:
I'm having a hell of a time getting excited for BW. I mean, unless otherwise, she dead.
I feel like a big part of it will be Natasha setting Yelena up to be the next Black WidowBecause, since it's an MCU film, and not just a prequel to a series of BW films, it can set up stuff, or shine a light on other things that were happening in the MCU between Civil War and Infinity War. Isn't that reason enough?
I feel like a big part of it will be Natasha handing off the title of Black Widow to Yelena, or at least training her to do it
Because, since it's an MCU film, and not just a prequel to a series of BW films, it can set up stuff, or shine a light on other things that were happening in the MCU between Civil War and Infinity War. Isn't that reason enough?
Prequels are a bit iffy for me, since I know the outcome. They could surprise me, though. I have an open mind.
I don't see why the BW movie has to set up stuff for the future of the MCU to be interesting. I mean, I get it, it's a big part of why the MCU thrives, but a movie should merit its own existence. Natasha may be dead, but a good movie about her is still a good movie. Regarding already knowing the outcome.. I mean, you could predict the outcomes of most MCU movies before seeing them. Doesn't make them any less engaging.
Tasky is the selling point for Black Widow for me honestly. I really hope he's done well - and more importantly not killed off. I can't really think where else he could pop up in the current MCU schedule mind..but still.
Maybe in one of the shows? Could work in Falcon/Winter Soldier?
edit - actually is Black Widow out before or after that? I'm sick atm and my brain can't fathom dates.
Good. Now go watch the rest of her filmography, cause she's the best there is.I just watched Midsommar, and I am now a fan of Florence Pugh.

What do you mean? She's great in The Little Drummer Girl show if you want me to recommend something specific, but she's great in her movies too. She's just amazing.

What you really should be doing, is watch her Instagram stories. It wasn't long ago she saved her cactus friend.
You should watch Fighting with my family, she's great in it.

Wait the girl who played Paige is playing Yelena? That's nuts. Good for her, though. I loved that movie.
She's great in it, now have a seat.
"Now I'm going with a Marvel movie. I'm going on to play a superhero, which is cool. I don't know what I can say about it, I'm scared to sort of even mention it," Harington said at first before detailing a play he wanted to join. "I'm trying to choose things as far away from Jon Snow as possible, but I'm playing a superhero and he's got a sword."
