Correction: Spider-man is Sony/Marvel not Disney. :
OK, so when Tom Holland’s in a Marvel movie like Avengers: Endgame as Spiderman, it’s a Disney production, but when he’s in a standalone Spiderman movie, it’s Sony?
That’s messed up.
Actually it’s DRASTICALLY more complicated than that. The easiest answer is: Disney uses him, Sony gets a good chunk of money. The nuts and bolts of it thought are why entertainment law is its own field.
What ever it was, it was a really fun movie. Really enjoyed it.
It’s all good.
I still love the MCU, even if many of it’s actors are loony leftists.
I think that’s the deal the studios worked out so Spider-man could be in the Avengers movies.
Disney bought Marvel, but before Disney bought the rights, there was a contract given to Sony and Universal to limited rights for certain characters like Spiderman. So until those contracts expire, Sony and Universal can still use those particular characters. (Disney can use them too in new movies)
Unless Disney wants to give a ton of money to their competitors and buy those contracts out. Which I doubt they do...they have to live with it.
I bet the next Spiderman movie will reveal he’s a tranny.
They’re doing it to Batgirl.
Yes but, Tom Holland’s Spiderman appeared in both Infinity War (where he got dusted) and Endgame, when he came back and played keep away with the Gauntlet.
So did they have to pay Sony for that?

In short this is the end of a 5 picture deal where Marvel Studios made the movie, it’s fully tied into the MCU, Disney gets the merch, but Sony gets the gate. And now we gotta see if the lawyers will keep a good thing going or kill the goose.
Probably.
That whole thing has been a bit of an odd legal pretzel for awhile.
Disney and Sony made a deal to include Spiderman into the MCU, but Sony will still have the rights to him and make stand-alone movies.
‘Tis the nature of contracts.
Well, duuuuuuuhhhhhhh! Fire whomever it was that scheduled the 5th.
Haven't wasted my money on this Hollyweird gay garbage.
The last few Marvel movies left me cold. Too contrived. Too many characters.
Marvel returns to the formula, here. One good guy. One bad guy. During it out.
Much more satisfying.
Sony let Disney use Spider-man, cause they needed the boost to make the reboot. This is the third reboot of the character, and they were worried about the Clooney effect. Disney let Robert Downey appear in the Sony movie, and use the storyline from the original Avengers movie. It strengthens both franchises for Spider-man to be in the same "world" as the rest of the franchise characters.
Haven't seen the new one. Who's the villain? Please tell me it's not the Green Goblin again.
Don't forget Jon Favreau. He played Happy Hogan, and was also the director of Ironman, and the producer of all the Avengers movies...
Must be loaded $$$!
It’s not Green Goblin.
It was done very well, I’ll say that much.
