https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_in_film#Development

- Cannon originally bought the movie rights in 1985 for $250k
- Production and development issues stalled the movie for several years and Marvel nearly went bankrupt
- Columbia Pictures (Sony) finally bought the rights in 1999 after trying to for 10 years
- MGM disputed this saying they should have the rights through Cannon.
- They made some sort of trade agreement with Bond and Spider-Man and the matter was finally solved

Why are people hating on Sony? Why would they want to let Disney keep making Spider-Man movies at this point unless the money was right?

I've seen some articles that came out in the last 40ish minutes that indicated that a deal is still being reached and another quoting a Sony rep who said the dispute is over a producer credit and that negotiations are ongoing

Bottom line is nothing is official atm

IIRC weren't similar "talks have ended with nothing" articles written when Sony and Disney were first negotiating a deal?

This will probably be much ado about nothing in the end.

Nah bruh.

I dont care how bad Sonys Amazing movies have been. Id rather have the rights not under Disney and have merely the potential for the occasional Raimi-tier film or Spider-Verse, than have the rights with Disney and doom the IP to eternal mediocrity.

You asked why people are hating on Sony. We both gave you the reason. None of us care how much money Sony does or doesn't make from these movies.

Really Spidey succeeded because of Disney. Garfield version and Venom were bad movies, very bland.

Another Spider-Man reboot is going to be horrible. And Sony needs to do it to maintain rights.

I would've been really supportive of this if not for Far From Home, which I enjoyed. The first one, not so much. I think it would've been better if they had dialed down on the cameos just for the sake of having them. They're in the same universe, we get it.

>implying the MCU Spiderman movies were mediocre

Marvel should have the rights back though. Something like $4-6 billion. Star Wars went for $4 billion. Sony has some leverage.

Or they can play nice. But Spiderman leaving the MCU is only gonna be bad for his character tbh. He doesnt need ANOTHER reboot and his current character history is deeply rooted in the MCU. I mean, can they talk about the Blip in a Sony movie? Who knows if Happy can be in it. Tony cant be mentioned at all.

Like sure they have the cast on contract and all but to expect Sony to do a good Spiderman (live action) movie when they havent since 2004.

The merch is more valuable than the movies at this point. I can easily see Sony doing a trade Spider-Man for Star-Wars where Disney leases the rights to the Merch and Sony owns everything else (including video games)

The beauty is that both Sony and MCU have made multi-verses canon.

If Sony was worried about keeping Holland, they could easily just let the live action films rest for a few years, maybe do some animated stuff, and come back with an original Spider-Man movie unconnected to anything. And it doesnt have to be branded as a reboot, its got multiverse clout now, so long as they stay the heck away from the origin lol.

I think that would be a pretty bad deal for Disney.

The biggest issue for this stuff is that neither of them really need it all that much. It's the fans who miss out.

Except spider man 1 and 2 disproves this. Asm 1&2 were fine and if the marvel deal didn't happen would have continued on. And venom still make 700-800 mil.

Spiderman is better with the mcu, Sony has shown they can make movies.

And quite frankly with what Disney choose to do with spiderman its more important does their narrative to have spiderman than the other way around.

Spiderman being Tony's legacy is more important than spiderman. And the reception of multiverse and the appeal of Tom hardy leaves spiderman non mcu future fine.

Right now I agree. However if the interest in Star Wars movies continues to decline while marvel shows no signs of slowing down, it'll be worth considering.

Every Spider-Man movie they make is a guaranteed billion dollar payoff. This is not true of Star Wars. 7/8 made over a billion but not all of them.

I don't think it's fair that people don't count Spider-Verse because it's animated. It was still a proper theatrical release with a lot of big names behind it. I hope that movie did influence their future input with or without the MCU.

Should it be counted among the live action films? No. Nobody mentions Mask of the Phantasm, Lego Batman, or any of the other animated films when they talk about Batman movies.

Should it be counted as proof that Sony can draw money or make a popular Spider-Man film with the right people involved? Absolutely.

Spiderman 1 and 2 were the last live action movies they made that were good and are almost 20 years old now. ASM 1 and 2 were garbage. They were not good movies. Venom making money doesn't mean it was a good movie. Venom couldn't even decide what kind of movie it wanted to be. It jumped from a superhero movie to a comedy to a horror movie multiple times.

Essentially the same people will still be involved sans any MCU characters.

Well financially they did decently, which is all that really matters for the company making them. ASM2 was a disappointment, but it still made money, and it's certainly plausible that Sony could have made more money off a third ASM movie that they didn't have to share with Marvel than they made off of Homecoming.

I'm sure the movie would have been terrible but there's a good chance it would have made good money.

From Sony's perspective they want him and the MCU connections. That's it.

Disney wants 50/50 and control over the Spider-man movies. That's it.

Kevin Feige doesn't get to work on Spider-man without Disney's approval. From Disney's perspective he just inherited a whole bunch of new properties so why would they share him with Sony?

It's not a coincidence Disney is going hard ball after they bought 20th Century Fox.

Sony mentioned in their statement that they'll continue on the path Feige left. So they'll probably stick with Holland for a long time.

Despite Spider-man being the most popular Marvel character they're actually pretty lucky in the fact that he's not that critical to the MCU overarching plot or lore. He's a street level hero who can just be in his own little bubble. Even if circumstances change in the future they could bring him back with no real difficulty as long as there's no mega contradictions that happen between both series.
