Nigga please
this blows all of them out of the water
this is god father part 2 x 100000000000
Sony pulls Spider-Man out of MCU!!!!
- Thread starter D'Evils
- Start date
this blows all of them out of the water
this is god father part 2 x 100000000000
if true - then why is Disney now getting 25% of gross instead of 5% like before?
but yeah Black Panther should be the new core - but they want it to be Captain Marvel
bet they make it Dr Strange instead
It’s how u build equity
since Disney has X-men , Sony might need a mutant or 2 for they spiderverse shit.
u feel me?
I ain’t read the last sentence tho
edit I did read the sentence.
captain marvel doesn’t deserve it at all, unless they flip and spend 5-10 years on lady led films.
Dr strange is key, but could be missed.
Everything revolves around Wakanda.
What’s that “What If” movie all about???
it's not a movie. it's an animated show based on the "What if" comic line. I.e. what if Black Panther was Starlord.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_If_(comics)
It will be voiced by Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher
That’s them big headed niggas Thanos was talking too
I have a feeling that in the next two movies,they're setting it up for him to be in Sony's universe.
I think so too. But fuck it. Close out his story. That would be better to know it's coming instead of it being abrupt after a cliffhanger.
Spidey never went anywhere; shit was just postering on both sides; no way either would not work at a deal; they had no choice but too.....
Spider-Man Back In Marvel Cinematic Universe After Sony, Marvel Reach New Deal
It seemed inevitable because it was. Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures announced this morning that Spider-Man will return to the MCU, after the studios reached a new deal to continue their partnership. Fans and investors around the world will rejoice at the news, as it ensures billion dollar business for the wall-crawler for years to come.
Today’s news comes after the studios sparred over who was responsible for negotiations breaking down and resulting in initial announcements that Spider-Man would no longer appear in the MCU, and future Spider-Man sequels would not include crossover with Marvel’s shared world of superheroes.
The new deal sees Marvel Studios producing the next installment of Spidey’s cinematic franchise, with Kevin Feige taking a lead role in production. Spider-Man will also appear in other MCU movies going forward, as he has previously. The third film in the modern series releases July 16, 2021.
Feige made an interesting remark during today’s announcement, and it’s hard to say whether it’s a throw-away line or a hint at something more substantive to come. When commenting on his pleasure at reaching a new deal with Sony, Feige said, “[A]s Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
Does that imply Sony’s planned series of connected Spider-Man spinoffs will somehow wind up merged into the MCU, possibly by having the spinoff characters – notably, Venom – appear in the solo Spider-Man movies? Does it mean Marvel is offering (again) to coproduce the spinoff films as well, even if they’re kept separate from the main Spider-Man series? Is it just a friendly endorsement of Sony’s other unrelated spinoffs?
My guess is, part of making the new deal happen included Marvel’s (and Feige’s) involvement in Sony’s spinoffs, and some plan to allow the MCU version of Spider-Man to cross over into those spinoffs – or for spinoff characters to appear in the solo Spidey releases.
Another option, which would definitely count as a welcome “surprise” for many people, would be an idea I previously suggested back in June. Marvel could have convinced Sony that the ideal scenario is not to use the Peter Parker iteration of Spidey for the planned “spider-verse” of spinoffs, but instead to use Miles Morales, thus giving Sony not one but TWO Spider-Man solo franchises – one within the MCU, and one as part of a separate shared “spider-verse.”
Down the road, such a separate second Spider-Man and his collection of shared-world spinoff characters could appear in a crossover event alongside the MCU Peter Parker version of the character, and perhaps some other MCU heroes as well. A multiverse setup of this sort would pay off huge – imagine a story starting in the Peter Parker MCU Spider-Man movies, continuing in a Miles Morales Spider-Man movie, and then culminating in a big crossover Avengers event with various multiverse characters.
Even lacking such an MCU-Spider-verse crossover event, the idea of Sony cultivating two different Spider-Man franchises within two different shared superhero worlds is pretty enticing, and any desire to just have Peter Parker’s MCU incarnation appear in Venom and other spinoffs should be dwarfed by the appeal of multiple Spider-Man franchises and playing in two different shared universes. Add in the dangled carrot of possible future MCU crossover events, and it’s hard to imagine Sony turning it down.
Whatever comes to pass, though, the big news today is that Spider-Man is back in the MCU – and truth be told, he never really left. It was always a game of brinksmanship, with too much money on the table and too much future potential for both sides to walk away forever. I said before that Spider-Man returning to the MCU was inevitable, because it was. The only question was whether the right people would see that “sooner” rather than “later” had the most financial benefits for all involved. Luckily, that’s precisely what happened, and it’s reason for everyone to be mindful next time a brinksmanship scenario of this sort plays ou

Tom Holland, who portrays Spider-Man and his secret identity Peter Parker, expressed his reaction to the news with a clip from Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
Everyone else appears to be mining the same strain of co-parenting/children of divorce humor over the news, in large part because Holland’s Spider-Man is a precious, innocent Queens boy whose safety we all want to fiercely protect.
No one, it appears, is rooting for Sony to retain sole control of the character so that they could ask Holland to (say) pilot Spider-Man’s 60-meter-tall giant robot Leopardon or his machine gun- and missile-equipped flying car, the Spider Machine GP-7, from the very loose 1970s adaptation of the comic produced by Toei Company for Tokyo Channel 12 in Japan. Sad. A wasted opportunity.

Under the new deal, Variety reports that Disney/Marvel will co-finance 25 percent of a Spider-Man film to follow the ongoing exploits of the MCU’s version of the character as he has appeared in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, several Avengers movies, and related media. Disney, in turn will take 25 percent of the film’s profits, a considerably better deal than what they were offering over the summer, when Sony balked at a 50/50 split that would have cost them half the profits of their major tentpole franchise. (This summer Far from Home became Sony’s highest grossing film of all time, beating the James Bond entry Skyfall’s $1.1 billion in worldwide receipts with returns of $1.13 billion.)
As per their previous agreements, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will continue lending his producing skills to this future Spider-Man film and Disney will retain merchandising rights to the character

Spider-Man Will Stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
By BRENT LANG
After briefly breaking up, Sony Pictures and Marvel have found a way to get back in the Spider-Man business together.
On Friday, the two companies jointly announced that Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will produce the third film in the “Spider-Man: Homecoming” series. It will once again feature Tom Holland reprising his role as the titular hero. The rumor mill roared back to life this week with hints that the two companies were close to brokering a new agreement.
Over the summer, news broke that the Disney, Marvel’s parent company, and Sony had reached an impasse over a new financing deal. Disney wanted the film to be financed on a 50/50 basis, with Feige remaining in a consulting producer capacity. Sony is believed to have proposed keeping the arrangement under the current terms, which stipulate that Marvel receives about 5% of first-dollar gross and all merchandising revenues.
The film is scheduled for release on July 16, 2021. Amy Pascal will also produce through Pascal Pictures, as she has on the first two Holland-led films.
“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” Feige said in a statement. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
Pascal was equally euphoric in her statement. “This is terrific,” she said. “Peter Parker’s story took a dramatic turn in ‘Far From Home’ and I could not be happier we will all be working together as we see where his journey goes.”
Marvel has licensed the rights to Spider-Man to Sony for nearly two decades, an agreement they forged prior to Disney’s $4 billion acquisition of the comics company in 2009. Sony achieved critical and financial acclaim with its first round of Spider-Man movies, which were directed by Sam Raimi and starred Tobey Maguire. Its second effort, starring Andrew Garfield and directed by Marc Webb, were far less successful, sending the studio back to the drawing board.
By bringing Marvel and Feige back into the fold with 2017’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the studio was able to recapture the creative mojo of the first series. It also got a boost from having Holland’s web-spinner appear in Avengers movies, with Spidey becoming a key member of the super-team. Sony said it was pleased that a deal had been reached
“We have had a great collaboration over the last four years, and our mutual desire to continue was equal to that of the many fans,” said Robert Lawson, chief communications officer for Sony Pictures Entertainment. “We are delighted to be moving forward together.”

The new deal was signed late on Thursday night. Negotiations involved top players from both studios, including Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman, Feige and Walt Disney Studios co-chairs Alan Horn and Alan Bergman.
In exchange for lending Feige’s producing prowess, Marvel and Disney will receive roughly 25% of the profits, according to insiders.
Disney will retain its merchandising rights and will put up roughly a quarter of the financing.

Marvel and Sony have cut a deal to keep Spider-Man in the MCU
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will co-produce the third Tom Holland Spider-Man movie.

It’s like he never left: Spider-Man is back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced that they have brokered a deal to keep the webslinger in the MCU, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige producing the upcoming third Spider-Man film — slated to arrive in theaters on July 16, 2021.
“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” Feige said in a statement obtained by Variety. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
In late August, a source told Deadline that Sony and Marvel had come to an impasse over the continuing MCU presence of Spider-Man, as played by Tom Holland. Going forward, Marvel — which had sold Spider-Man’s film rights to Sony after filing for bankruptcy in 1996 — reportedly wanted a larger cut of the gross revenue percentage made by the studios’ co-produced films than Sony was said to be offering. (The studios’ two collaborations so far, 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and this year’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, were both very successful.) Sony then seemed to double-down on the report in its own statement on the matter, suggesting that Feige was too busy with other projects to fully commit to Spider-Man.
The broken partnership came as a shock to Marvel fans, who have taken to Holland’s portrayal of the webslinger and how successfully Marvel wove the character into its filmic universe. And the most recent Spider-Man film, Far From Home, earned widespread acclaim in July.
But to many industry observers, the leaked report about Sony and Marvel’s rocky negotiations never raised concern that Spider-Man’s existence in the MCU was in any real danger — even though there were some words from Feige to Entertainment Weekly, saying the Spider-Man deal had always been temporary.
Marvel had structured its recent movies around Spider-Man’s relationship with Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, and put both heroes front and center in Avengers: Endgame. Meanwhile, Far From Home is Sony’s biggest movie to date (having earned $1.1 billion worldwide), most likely benefitting from its Avengers connection as the first Marvel-related film to arrive after Endgame.
Both studios gain a lot from having Spider-Man in the MCU. And for now, they will continue to do so.

'Spider-Man' Shocker: Disney, Sony Striking a Deal for One More Movie
SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 8:05AM by Aaron Couch, Borys Kit
The two studios are once again working together, with Tom Holland's hero set to star in a Sony film produced by Marvel's Kevin Feige, as well as in an MCU film.
Spider-Man is back in action. After publicly parting ways over a deal gone south, Disney/Marvel and Sony are back at the table and have struck a deal that would see Marvel produce another Spider-Man film for Sony. The new film even has a release date: July 16, 2021. Jon Watts, the filmmaker behind the previous two Spider-Man films, is in talks to direct.
"I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” said Marvel topper Kevin Feige. "Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
Also as part of the arrangement, Spider-Man will appear in a future Marvel movie.
In 2015, Marvel and Sony unveiled an unprecedented intra-studio partnership that produced not only two well-regarded and massive hits with Spider-Man: Homecoming and this summer’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, but it also took the character, whose movie rights are owned by Sony, and put him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe where the hero became one of its key players.
But the co-parenting deal fell apart not too long after the release of Far From Home, spilling into the open in August.
Terms of the new deal were not revealed, but it will allow Marvel and its chief Feige to produce and run creative point on one more movie that would star Tom Holland, the actor who is the current incarnation of the web-slinging superhero. Depending on how things go, more movies could be in the offing.
The partnership between Sony and Marvel has been fruitful at the box office. Homecoming made $880.1 million and featured Marvel character Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), while Spider-Man was a key part of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War and had a small but powerful role in this year's Avengers: Endgame. Both films grossed more than $2 billion, with Endgame standing as the top film of all time, not adjusted for inflation. Far From Home was also a billion-dollar player — grossing $1.1 billion — and is Sony's highest grossing film ever.
There was plenty of incentive to drive the two sides to return. Shared revenue of box office receipts notwithstanding, the success of Spider-Man also drives other lanes. Sony, for example, has a slate of Spider-Man-centric characters that are in the early stages of getting their own movies, with Venom already a hit and a sequel to start shooting in November. Morbius, another title based on a Marvel character, is in post-production with a release set for 2020. The slate has benefitted from Spider-Man’s popularity. There is also Sony’s Spider-Man video game franchise, which is one of the more popular games currently in circulation.
Marvel, meanwhile, gets to capitalize on merchandizing. But perhaps more importantly, it gets to keep creative control over its most popular character, something it did not have during the years that saw the studio — then run by Amy Pascal — make critically maligned movies, and thus protect the brand.

Sony and Marvel Have Officially Agreed to Co-Parent Spider-Man
By Zoe Haylock@zoe_alliyah

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have finally decided to put aside their irreconcilable differences for the sake of their child, Spider-Man. The two companies announced that Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will continue to produce the Spider-Man: Homecoming series. That means innocent bystanders Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Marisa Tomei will be back for a third Spider-Man, set for release on July 16, 2021, according to statements obtained by Variety. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is also set to make an appearance in a separate Marvel film. In August of this year, reports that Disney and Sony were unable to reach an agreement regarding financing led to the rumor that Disney would pull its producing team, including Feige. Disney was out for a 50/50 financing deal, whereas Sony wanted to keep the original deal, where Disney receives 5 percent of first-dollar gross and all of the merchandising profits. “I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” said Feige in a statement. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have finally decided to put aside their irreconcilable differences for the sake of their child, Spider-Man. The two companies announced that Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will continue to produce the Spider-Man: Homecoming series. That means innocent bystanders Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Marisa Tomei will be back for a third Spider-Man, set for release on July 16, 2021, according to statements obtained by Variety. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is also set to make an appearance in a separate Marvel film. In August of this year, reports that Disney and Sony were unable to reach an agreement regarding financing led to the rumor that Disney would pull its producing team, including Feige. Disney was out for a 50/50 financing deal, whereas Sony wanted to keep the original deal, where Disney receives 5 percent of first-dollar gross and all of the merchandising profits. “I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” said Feige in a statement. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
Jaden Smith might be trying to spam Feige's and Pascal's e-mails saying he wants to play Miles Morales 
Ryan Reynolds probably somewhere like
since people want a Spider-Man/Deadpool movie to happen

You kid but i could see Jaden trying hard to get his fan base to support that
I think it was because of so many ways Sony has messed up in the past...
People had legit reason to believe the WORST was possible.
But apparently the new Sony boss is doing this right.
Cause Venom and Spiderverse were HUGE successes. The later was a huge critical success too.
I'm still curious to see if the details we getting are ACCURATE. Cause the only source is Variety.

Based on what we know so far, who got the better of this apparent new deal?

Tom Holland doesn’t just play a hero in the Spider-Man movies. Turns out he actually is a hero in real life as well. At least, he’s a hero to Marvel fans who were gutted when it was announced that Holland’s Peter Parker was no longer going to be featured in the MCU after Disney and Sony couldn’t reach a deal.
When Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, he confirmed that after weeks of a standoff, it was actually Holland that saved the Disney/Sony deal, allowing Spider-Man to remain in the MCU. A third Spider-Man movie starring Holland, the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home, will hit theaters July 16, 2021, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige returning to produce the new film and Amy Pascal once again producing as well. And the cherry on top: as part of Disney and Sony’s arrangement, Holland’s Spider-Man is also confirmed to appear in a future film in the MCU.
So how did Holland play the hero without having to suit up?
“We had an event called D23, which is a big Disney fan event; Tom was there because he’s a voice in a new Pixar movie called Onward with Chris Pratt,” Iger says. “And he said something onstage and it was clear that the fans wanted Tom back as Spider-Man made by Marvel and our Marvel production team.” The executive is of course referring to Holland’s emotional message to fans gathered at the convention, “I love you 3,000.”
“After D23, Tom reached out to folks who worked for me, ‘Could I please have Bob’s email address or phone number?’ Of course I’m very protected and they were very careful,” Iger continues. “I said, ‘Sure, have him contact me.’ And he did. We spoke. Basically he made a… he cried on the phone.”
To which Jimmy Kimmel replies in shock, “Really?!”
And Iger quickly responds with a laugh, “No, not really. But it was clear that he cared so much and actually we care a lot about him. He’s a great Spider-Man. I actually felt for him, and it was clear that the fans wanted this to happen. So after I got off the phone with him I made a couple of phone calls to our team at Disney Studios and then I decided to call the head of Sony and I said, ‘We gotta figure out a way to get this done.’ For Tom and for the fans. And we did. That’s how it happened. He called me and I called them.”
Iger adds, “You know what happens sometimes companies when they are negotiating or people when they’re negotiating with one another, they kind of forget that there are other folks out there who actually matter, and that was the case here. There’s a whole Parker family out there.”
News of the new Disney/Sony Spider-Man deal broke at the end of Sept. with both Holland and his costar Zendaya celebrating with memes on social media. Meanwhile, the producers each released statements.
“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” Feige said. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
“This is terrific. Peter Parker’s story took a dramatic turn in Far From Home and I could not be happier we will all be working together as we see where his journey goes,” Pascal said. “This has been a winning partnership for the studios, the franchise and the fans and I’m overjoyed it will continue.”
We can all thank Holland for that.
