Nah. They just bought insomniac and let's face it they're going to be on permanent Spider-Man duty.

If I were sony, I'd figure out how many movies I'd be prepared to make over the next 15 years, what their average return is expected to be, total it up and offer the rights back to Disney for ten times that much. (and prepare to accept half that number in negotiations.)

The ROI is insane, and all upfront. that's nowhere near what they're actually going to make, and it's still a number Disney is capable of accepting.


So probably a Spider-Man movie every 2-3 years. So maybe say 6 Spider-Man movies. Probably guaranteed at least 800 million at the box office.

Then you've also got at least two more Venom sequels. Probably also guaranteed at least 800 million each.

They're also working on Silver Sable and Black Cat movies. So perhaps 300-500 million for those.

That's the minimum. There's probably going to be more than that.

I can't be bothered calculating that but I don't think Disney would accept that at all.

Sony isn't going to sell because Disney isn't going to shell out billions for the movie rights to one property.

Spider-Man is the biggest safe bet Sony has. They're not letting that go.


I have a hard time believing if Disney threw out say a 5 billion dollar offer Sony would pass that up. Yeah, I know that more than they paid for Star Wars but not only can Disney afford it, the MCU is making more money. Weve seen Disney play second fiddle to no one, Sony be damned.

net, not gross. I was estimating 25 movies over 15 years. average net around 50M, so a final sale price of ~5B. that's a lot, sure. maybe even too much. but it has to be for Sony to give it up. and I think Disney'd be happy to overpay to gain control. especially after seeing how much fox shitting the bed actually hurt them.

Also a point to consider (although i might be over-estimating this) is that if Sony does pull Spiderman from the MCU there might be a backlash from fans who might straight up boycott any future Sony Spiderman movies.

It probably wouldn't amount to much, but it could blow up in their face.

I don't see it. They already made money off the merchandise and licensing. Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't really need him.

Also how would a third film even work now without the MCU. Like he is gonna need another spider suit now.

I think it would be pretty easy unfortunately. They probably could use the suit no problem. The cliffhanger gives them an excuse to have Peter abandoned by everyone.

The biggest awkward thing is Happy but he's not essential. They would also need to move on from Stark.

People should be mad at Disney imo

Would you give up 50% of the movie profits when Disney already owns 100% of the merchandising rights

When the raimi trilogy was hot, it was still a question whether if sony was gonna be able to pump out a movie every 3 years to keep the rights

But with Tom Holland, the rest of the actors, Amy Pascal and co. in place for 2 more movies, the Venom sequel, Kraven the Hunter, and the Into the Spider-verse sequels... there are plenty of movies to be made

Sony has plenty of reasons to be confident about the license going forward, they're hardballing for good reason

A Sony spiderverse would do gangbusters

Not when everything that made the MCU Spiderman so good is staying with Disney.

Sony is the bad guy, not Disney. Especially when Ive read multiple times that Sony sold Disney the merchandise rights back, so that isnt Disneys fault they have those rights.

I think you're underestimating the connection between the MCU continuity and box office sales. MCU movies also tend to be more successful when there's crossover with other MCU franchises and characters, something both Spiderman movies have benefited from.

Venom made 850 million dollars.

I mean I'm not really concerned how much money these movies make. I just want good movies. Neither company is the good guy here.

To be totally honest I'm more hyped for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and any Spider-Verse follow ups. Which aren't impacted by this deal.

If the next Tom Holland movie follows the stuff from Far From Home and does a good job I don't care if it isn't officially part of the MCU anymore. If anything I want this character to stand on his own more.

Neither Homecoming nor Far From Home have done that much better than other Spider-Man films

Certainly not enough for Sony to take some sort of 50/50 deal.

And Far From Home was also coming off Endgame hype, which won't be there next time.

And even though it made 400 million more, it's still not worth it for Sony to take a 50/50 deal.

What you're failing to grasp is that at a 50/50 split, Sony would only get 500 million of that (less, in fact)

Where as Amazing Spider-Man, at it's worst, still made 700 million.

So...it's not worth it in Sony's eyes to take that kind of deal.

The first Spiderman movie was also almost 20 years ago when no one was making hero movies, and only did less than 30 mil more in the US. It did significantly less world wide.
