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

Wait, so Disney didn't even want half of the profits for nothing? They also wanted to pay for half of the budget?
Sony just pulled out of being a part of the one of the biggest franchises on the planet.
Spider-Man may be huge but this decision is idiotic.

He's not really wrong.
But it really doesn't matter whose fault it was, the entire situation blows.

Remember when people kept saying this will never happen? And also told people what they were saying was not gonna happen? Well... Here we are
I mean Venom made 855 million, Spider-Man FFH made just over a Billion which Sony doesn't even get the full amount of. So would you rather get 100% of 855 million or whatever fraction of the other number they get paid?
Heh, maybe I'm still in shock but I really don't expect this to last. I'm certain they'll renew the agreement.
Anyways, I'm really confused now. The article states that both Holland and Watts are to return for two more films, but then said films will not be part of the MCU?
How does that work?

Endgame 2 is gonna be about jumping through time to stop Marvel from selling the rights to all their characters in the 1990s
My uneducated guess would be Disney, because they probably feel like they can win in the court of public opinion on this and force Sony's hand. Makes more sense than the other way around.
Yes Sony's money but Marvel studios made it for them.
jeez this is baseless speculation for the sake of your argument. What a strange thing to say.
Yeah, remember the original stories about Fox/DIsney, about how the two sides were no longer talking. Fast Forward 2 months and there was an agreement in place.
They asked Sony to pay for half of the production budget. Sony told them no and asked them to just take 5% of the revenue from the first day, like they do now. Disney said no. That's all we know. Maybe Feige called Vinciquerra a dickhead, who knows.
Because I had the audacity to relativize this discussion about IP rights lol
Anyone scratcing their heads at all the feelings in this thread should give this video a watch.
We know that Disney was going to co-fiance their films 50-50, but the article doesn't say anything about how much money they wanted in exchange.
And people who want good marvel films. I can't think of any Sony marvel films that lived up to Tobey Spidy 1-2 and X 1-2. Oh and Logan

Holy shit this is fucking pathetic. How vacuous of a person do you have to be to not notice that you are kicking and screaming like an incomprehensible child.
I don't really get the Disney is being greedy comments. They resurrected the character after stinkers killed, did all the work and made Sony nearl 1.5 billion in the process while only getting 5 percent of the direct loot. Isn't renegotiation reasonable? It might not have ended up 50 50 if Sony stayed to talk. Hopefully it is all just a power play
I wonder what the contracts look like. I can't imagine Tom Holland is obligated to appear since the terms of his contract will have been changed.

Oh fuck.
Tom Rothman.
Tom Rothman is responsible for making all the changes to XMen 3 (removing 90% of the Jean Grey storyline, slashing the budget in 1/3rds), Wolverine Origins (saying that Deadpool doesn't work as a character and having his mouth sewn shut), he also made all the changes to Fan4stic and Venom.
He is not the person you want having creative control over a comic book movie.

Everyone hates Disney for being a monopoly that buys and controls everything, until suddenly they don't.

I'd say there is no franchise. Black Panther next to Thor and Doctor Strange is not the Avengers people know.
He's just appealing to your distaste for console fanboys rather than making any meaningful argument.

Hopefully they'll still reach an agreement down the line, cutting out Spiderman from the MCU would really suck.
Yep. Disney wanted to split everything equally 50/50 while Marvel Studios still does all the work and Sony just had to toss some money to help fund it
It's free money.
There have been far worst cliffhangers without resolution in pop-culture.
Feige wanted control over the spin-offs as well?
The man was willing to sacrifice so much? Just for... us??
