Tom Holland's Last-Minute Appeal Helped Seal a 'Spider-Man' Deal OCTOBER 02, 2019 11:03AM by Tatiana Siegel, Borys Kit Sony Disney OA
SONY DISNEY OKAY, MAYBE ONE MORE SPIDER-MAN MOVIE..
When you figure out time travel and get yourself killed to save Spiderman but then he just disappears from the universe
y'KNOW THIS WHOLE LOVER'S QUARREL BETWEEN DISNEY AND SONY OVER THE MOVIE RIGHTS TO ME? HOW IT'S BASICALLY DISNEY TRYING TO MUSCLE IN ON SONY'S BOTTOM LINE? WELL I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THIS IS KARMA FOR SONY TRYING TO PULL THE SAME F------ STUNT ON NINTENDO ALL THOSE YEARS AGO...
ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MEcHANIc Follow @ashleylynch Just a reminder that the only reason Spider-Man isn't becoming a public domain character this year which would have allowed both Disney and Sony to utilize the character is because of lobbying against the copyright act by Disney. 10:05 AM - 21 Aug 2019 5,582 Retweets 20,418 Likes ti 5.6K 20K 121 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MEcHANIc @ashleylynch Aug 21 I'm always torn about the copyright thing, because while I agree on stuff entering the public domain, there's an argument that can be made about the current cultural relevance of a lot of these characters. 6 t 39 819 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRI:E MECHANIC @ashleylynch Aug 21 Basically the biggest, most popular films of the last decade have all built on characters that without changes to the copyright act, would today be owned by no one 4 t 43 674 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MEcHANIc @ashleylynch Aug 21 But one of the positive side effects of that, which we don't currently get to enjoy, is if half the Marvel and DC characters were public domain, they'd stop being so special and by extension, so profitable. Which would result in an emphasis on new stories and characters. 10 t53 836 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRI:E MEcHANIc @ashleylynch Aug 21 Part of the reason that we keep going back to the same well over and over and over and over again, the reason why we get 50 years of James Bond movies and 3 reboots of Spider-Man... is because this stuff was prevented from becoming public domain. ti 97 782 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MEcHANc @ashleylynch Aug 21 And it's not like making a character public domain destroys it. If it endures, it endures, and will do so in different forms. That's how we can have a Sherlock BBC series, an American Sherlock series and a couple Sherlock feature films all happening at the same time. 3 1.0K t127 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MECHANIC @ashleylynch Aug 21 Each of those series and movies are wildly different in their approach to Sherlock Holmes and each has their fanbases for various reasons. 1 38 622 @ashleylynch Aug 21 And because Sherlock Holmes is public domain, you don't have one movie studio ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRISE MEcHANIc rebooting Sherlock every 4 years into movies that people decreasingly want, just so they can hold onto the rights. 3 69 ロ 773 ASHLEY LYNCH THE sURPRIsE MEcHANIc @ashleylynch Aug 21 Because that's the history of Fantastic Four on film. Virtually every F4 movie was made so the film rights didn't revert back to the owner. It's a very expensive way to park a franchise just because it may be more valuable in the future. 652 3 t 45 ASHLEY LYNCH THE sURPRIsE MECHANIC @ashleylynch Aug 21 Notwithstanding that James Cameron would have made a Spider-man movie in the 90s if it weren't for the fact that several different companies claimed they were the rightful owners of the film rights to the character. It took nearly a decade to sort out who could make Spider-Man. 526 ti 29 2 ASHLEY LYNCH THE SURPRI:E MECHANIC @ashleylynch Aug 21 But on the flip side, being able to sell of film rights to their characters is the only thing that kept Marvel alive. Without the ability to do that, it's entirely likely Marvel Comics just wouldn't exist today. t37 13 580

Overview

Spider-Man Leaves the MCU refers to Disney, the owner of Marvel Comics, potentially failing to reach an agreement with Spider-Man film rights holder Sony to produce more Spider-Man installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.. If the agreement is not reached, Spider-Man will no longer appear in the MCU movies, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige no longer producing future Spider-Man films.

Background

On August 20th, 2019, Deadline reported that Disney, the parent company of Marvel Studios, and Sony Pictures, the owner of Spider-Man film rights, have failed to reach an agreement on the distribution of income from the future Marvel Studios-produced Spider-Man installations.[1][2] Disney reportedly requested 50/50 co-financing arrangement and a larger share of film box office instead of the current five percent of first-dollar gross, while Sony insisted on extending the current agreement.

Due to the inability to reach the agreement between studios, it has been announced that Marvel Studios' president Kevin Feige won't be producing any further Spider-Man films. Additionally, if the agreement is not reached, no more Spider-Man installments will be produced as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Notable Developments

On August 20th, 2019, Sony Pictures Twitter account posted a three-part response to the news, with the company putting the responsibility for Kevin Feige's departure from the franchise on Disney.

Sony Pictures @SonyPictures SONY ETRS Much of today's news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige's involvement in the franchise. 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. (1/3) 9:49 PM 20 Aug 2019
Sony Pictures @SonyPictures SONY We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him including all their newly added Marvel properties - do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own. (2/3) - 9:49 PM- 20 Aug 2019

Much of today’s news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige’s involvement in the franchise. 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.
We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him – including all their newly added Marvel properties – do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own.

Online Reactions

On the same day, multiple posts criticizing the companies, primarily Sony, for not achieving the agreement, were posted online. In multiple examples, users lamented Spider-Man films potentially no longer being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and expressed concerns that actor Tom Holland could potentially be replaced with another lead (examples shown below).

Yes, criticize Sony for not appeasing the dystopian omnicorp asking for more money despite already making literal billions.

I know Sony has a history of being greedy, but I feel that Disney is the one at greater fault here.
