Breaking: Spider-Man Out of the MCU: Marvel, Sony Can't Reach Deal - IGN
I'm disappointed. Such a short run. Sony seems confident they can go it alone, but I'm not so sure. The current Spider-Man had an entire cinematic universe surrounding him. Do they pretend it never existed?
According to Deadline, Marvel Studios will not produce any further Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, due to an inability between Sony Pictures and Disney to reach new terms that would have given Disney a co-financing stake moving forward.
A dispute at the top levels of both companies has essentially resulted in Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige being nixed from future Spider-Man projects, according to Deadline. Disney had asked for a 50/50 co-financing agreement between the two studios on future Spider-Man films. Again according to Deadline's sources, Sony turned that offer down. Sony proposed keeping the arrangement similar to the terms that dictated the first two Spider-Man MCU films, such that Disney would only receive 5 percent of first dollar gross. Disney refused that deal.
