RIP: MCU Spider-Man.... for now
Aug. 21st, 2019 09:52 amDisney and Sony can't come to terms over profit-sharing over Spider-Man movies, which means no more Tom Holland Spidey within the MCU realm. Which is sad. Sony made five Spidey movies which, for me, sucked. I saw a couple, was not impressed, and stopped watching them - but I freely admit I was never a big Spider-Man fan. I loved the latest Sony: Into The Multiverse, and Sony made a lot of bucks with it. I also loved Tom's appearances in the MCU. And Tom is under contract for two more Spidey films, but they won't be able to use any of the MCU characters in it, which will be interesting.
It's all about the Benjamins: Disney wanted a 50/50 split, which is patently ridiculous. They were getting 5% of first day dollars, which is absolutely huge, plus lots of the merchandising, and probably the streaming rights. And they want 50/50? Ridiculous. Now Ars has an update to their story about Feige not being available due to his increased corporate duties. While that may be true, sounds a little like providing cover.
I expect there will be a reconciliation. After all, Spider-Man drifted in and out of the Avengers over the years. And there's just too much money for both Sony and The Giant Rat for them not to reach a mutually satisfying agreement.
