Theyre not as invested and so my question is, originally Sony paid Marvel a fee every time they made a Spider-Man movie. So now you negotiated the characters. Is it just, can you talk about what it is exactlywhat is that business relationship?
FEIGE: No, I cant, because Im not the lawyer or the business affairs person. But I do know that its relatively simple in that it is a Sony picture and Sony paid for it and Sony the money from it. And Marvel and Disney owned Spider-Man and all of the accoutrements that would come with that.
Merchandise.
PASCAL: Yes, all the merch.
FEIGE: Yeah, but my focus was always, and remains always, on can I do a Spider-Man movie? It puts Spider-Man in an Avengers movie? Thats it.
PASCAL: And to be honest, thats how it happened. It happened because Kevin came to me and said, you know I love Spider-Man and I really want to make the Spider-Man movie and I have an idea for what we should do. Thats how it happened.
Was it always gonna be Vulture?
PASCAL: Yes.
FEIGE: Yeah.
PASCAL: It was always gonna be Vulture. We liked the costume and the stuff he did.
FEIGE: I went to see Amy four or five times over the course of this process and I think every single thing we talked about from the fun-Spidey, to the Vulture, to of course, MCU, Tony giving him the suit, all the way to the title Homecoming was from those initial discussions.
PASCAL: Yes, it actually was, in that first lunch we talked about Homecoming.
Thats crazy.
PASCAL: I know. Kevins really smart, thats why.
Yeah, hes landed on his feet. So you said Plan A for this movie with Iron Man. Was Plan B still Vulture?
