Spider-Man Is Out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Etonline.com: Spider-Man's time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be coming to an end -- and it seems Sony, the studio behind Spidey's solo films, is as "disappointed" as everyone else about the news.

"Much of today’s news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige’s involvement in the franchise," the studio said in a statement on Tuesday. "We are disappointed, but respect Disney’s decision not to have him continue as a lead producer of our next live action Spider-Man film."

Sony Pictures has owned the movie rights to everyone's favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man since before Marvel Studios was its own studio. Following the less-than-stellar performance of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony and Marvel Studios' parent company, Disney, struck an unprecedented deal that would essentially allow them to share Spidey.

As such, Feige became a plead roducer on Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home -- both starring Tom Holland as the eponymous superhero -- and Holland's Peter Parker was allowed to appear in three MCU films, including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and this year's Avengers: Endgame.

Deadline first reported that talks to extend the deal between Sony and Disney fell apart when the latter pushed for a larger cut of the Spider-Man profits, a point on which Sony has reportedly been unwilling to budge.
