What happened?

Disney wanted more money and Sony said no. So no more Spidey in the MCU.

It's not like the MCU needed him or really benefited from having him. I'd say it was more of a loss than a gain for both Disney and Spider-Man.

I'm looking forward to Spider-Man 4. I don't quite forgive what they did to Venom, but it'll be nice to have a Spider-Man movie where he's not in high school.

I honestly don't understand why people are mad at Sony. Disney was the one who tried to break the status quo no? Things were sailing smoothly until they wanted more money. Like they didn't have enough as it is. They've got the whole fucking MCU to make bank off of.

Does Sony actually do anything for the movies other than letting them use the license?

Nah.

I'll say it again. Disney didn't need Spider-Man and he hasn't been a blessing to them. Financially, sure. At this point, Disney can piss in a cup and expect to make half a billion from it. Creatively, I'd say Spider-Man appeared too late in the game.

They already had heroes in love, heroes with wit, and heroes who were badasses. So what hey saw fit to do with him was stick him in the classroom as a 15 year old and give him a budding romance and a father figure in the MCU's favored son, Iron Man.

I'd rather have Amazing Spider-Man where he's not in anybody's shadow. Another reboot isn't exactly what he needs, but I think Sony's Spider-Man 4 is gonna outdo Homecoming and Far From Home. Sam Raimi wants it. I can't imagine Tobey and Kirsten saying no either.

Sony was getting 100% of the profits of the Spider-Man movies while Marvel did all the creative heavy lifting

Disney/Marvel isnt wrong for trying to renegotiate a better partnership. Marvel came to them hat in hand and put their reputation on the line. They negotiated this absolutely shit deal for themselves because they had such ambition for the character, it was the right time for him to come back and they knew they could weave him into the MCU perfectly. It was a huge gamble and I think we know how it worked out.

Sony is a bunch of fucking idiots for walking away after such critical and financial success. Theyre absolutely in the wrong here and I hope the backlash buries them

Well that's kinda false. Disney got 5% along with merchandising profits. To say Sony was getting it all without doing anything is overblowing things. Especially if what @Darmik was saying holds true. They aren't entirely out of their rights to want to stick with the status quo. There would have been no harm continuing as they had been

https://archive.is/20170630163601/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/spider-man-a-175-million-commercial-for-disney-toys-1498815005#selection-2351.0-2351.357
In a 2011 renegotiation designed to resolve years of behind-the-scenes legal disputes and provide Sony with much-needed cash, the Japanese company gave up its share of merchandise rights and Marvel, now owned by Disney, agreed to forego its 5% of film revenue, as well as making a one-time payment of $175 million and up to $35 million for each future film.

Now that it kept all the profit from Spider-Man merchandise, Disney cared more deeply that business, which declined as the movies lost momentum. U.S. toy sales of Spider-Man fell to $200 million around the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014, from $385 million in the year around the release of 2004s Spider-Man 2, according to NPD Group.


No money changed hands under the deal. The only tweak to the prior arrangement was that in exchange for its producing services, Marvel gets to reduce the $35 million it would owe on Homecoming if the movie grosses more than $750 million, said people with knowledge of the arrangement.


The narrative that Disney is some nice guy company who did this out of the goodness of their heats weirds me out. They both want to make money.

Sony sounds like a reversal of Disney's Aladdin for Sega Genesis.

Disney demanded so much of the profits that Sega got very little out of the games being sold. On the other hand, Sega still profited in that console sales rose due to people buying a Genesis specifically to play Aladdin.

Ah, so they're set in the same continuity but incidentally won't feature any MCU characters. I guess that's fine. I mean, it's no worse off than he would've been with Disney.

It's just a shame they're still going with kid Parker and Not Mary Jane.

Curt Connors becomes Peter Parker's new mentor and benefactor.

Oh, hell, like 80% to 90% of Spider-Man's villains use high tech in one form or another. It could be most anybody.

I guess it depends on what they are or aren't allowed to do.

Sequels have changed to different production studios in the past and they were allowed to reference past events right? Can Disney copyright name-dropping Iron Man? I think they might be able to.

They will need to completely drop SHIELD and Happy though.

Forget whatever nonsense happens in the Sony movies.

Spider-Man will have to be completely removed from the future MCU movies.

Motherfucker died and helped influence Tony in saving everybody, and welp, he came back for 8 months and is gone again. That's worse than the fuckery with Wolverine/Professor X in DoFP and Logan.

Ffm already sets it up. It's literally the point. Replace stark tech with ostech and spiderman is fine without the mcu. The only real loss is happy.

Disney made spiderman critical to its story and hasn't had the post Tony movie which needs spiderman to be told.

Yes Fuck Disney and fuck anyone who is stopping the deal from happening due to greed.

It is not Disney who is helping these movies succeed. It is Kevin Feige and whoever else from Marvel Studios who works with him on their movies. Considering he gets credit as a creative consultant I'm sure Sony is already paying him for his work on their movies.

Disney wants a 50/50 cut and I'm sure that's on top of getting 100% profit of any crossover movie that has Spider-man in it. It also sounds like they want every future Spider-man movie to be co-produced with them. This is on top of having full merchandise profit from any Spider-man movie.

So yeah the fact that this is falling through is likely on Disney.

No, fuck Sony.

These companies got a fucking deal of a life time because Marvel was on their knees and sold it really cheap.

For the most part, they all fucked up through the 90s and 2000s save for a few gems. Along comes Disney and buys Marvel and wants their shit back, but these fuckers have just been constantly rebooting their crap so they can exploit a loophole to keep the rights.

The MCU would not exist if Fox and Sony didn't take a chance on superhero movies 20 years ago.
