My understanding of that was that they weren't really ready to make a film, and were mostly just churning it out to maintain the rights (see also, 2015 Fantastic Four) and to help set up the shared universe (which is what they were way more interested in). The goal was to justify Venom, Black Cat, Sinister Six, and potential other movies in the Spider-Man universe, because they figured they could make a ton off those (and then later pull the Avengers-style "Hey, look at all these characters team up now!" mega-movie that would make a shitton of money). It's why a lot of the movie feels like they were just starting from the point of "we need to establish potential origin stories for a dozen future characters", and then tried to build around that, rather than having an actual story worth telling. All other things considered, I will say that I kinda liked how ~~the Green Goblin became like a secret villain in the film, particularly give his last-second appearance~~ ParanoidObsessive posted... To be fair, if they did it as a movie, it would also likely be a one-shot film and the handling would be lousy, so it's not like you'd be getting much of an improvement. Meaning that you don't think it'd get a sequel? Because we have yet to see a Spidey film not get a sequel. Hell, Venom was kinda lousy and even that's getting a sequel. ParanoidObsessive posted... From what I understand of their deal, no. Sony basically retains all the rights to almost everything - mechanically, their deal was that Sony made the movie, and Disney provided extra financing and technical support via Kevin Feige (who was effectively rented out as a freelance contractor) in exchange for a cut of the profits. They probably won't be able to mention Tony or the Avengers, and Happy's out. But other than that, Spider-Man, the entire supporting cast, and all of the events of his solo movies are part of the canon that Sony controls, and can refer back to whenever they want. So even the actors' contracts are with Sony rather than Disney? Oo Damn, so I guess they could just continue shit. --- Gamefaqs cannot handle my #BrokenBrilliance <cite>Broken_Zeus posted [p:926588161] in Valley of ...
