As you may, or may not, be aware, Spider-Man’s movie rights are owned by Sony, while much of the rest of the Marvel universe is owned by the Rodent Borg, aka Disney.<\/div>\n

There has been some coordination between the two studios to sync the characters to fit into the Marvel universe, but now, some sort of corporate dispute will cleave the two apart.<\/p>\n

Some people are losing their sh%$, but I think that this would be a good thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man has always been one of the most solitary of super-heroes out of marvel, and unlike the normal run of Marvel spandex clad warriors, more of a working-class bloke from Queens.<\/p>\n

The occasional cross over is one thing, but his playing Skywalker to Tony Stark’s Yoda has never rung true to me.<\/p>\n

I really do like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man’s interpretation of the role too:<\/p>\n

Interviews with the filmmakers behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe almost always get around to what seems to be the studio\u2019s core creative ethos: paint yourself into a corner, then find a creative way to get out of it. That mission statement inspired the snap in Avengers: Infinity War<\/a> and the big secret-identity reveal<\/a> that ends Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/a>. And while creative inspiration probably wasn\u2019t at the top of anyone\u2019s mind during the business impasse that reportedly dissolved<\/a> the partnership between Sony (which owns the current film rights to Spider-Man and his rogues\u2019 gallery) and the Disney-owned Marvel Studios, that unexpected split could inadvertently inspire Sony to adopt exactly the sort of creative problem-solving that has fueled some of the MCU\u2019s greatest moments. <\/p>\n

First things first: No, this doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re in for another Spider-Man reboot. According to current reports, Sony is planning to make more Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland, with conflicting reports saying that he\u2019s currently contracted for either one or two more solo films. The only difference is that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige won\u2019t produce those films. The deal will also likely prevent Holland\u2019s Spider-Man from appearing in future MCU movies, although that aspect seems to be slightly more in flux. (It\u2019s also possible this whole deal could change, especially as both companies examine the public reaction to their confrontation. Entertainment Weekly reports<\/a> that negotiations are still ongoing.)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
