Spider-Man 🕸️ appears to be swinging out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Spider-Man: Far From Home is set to be the final time the character appears in the Marvel Cinematic UniverseAfter two successful solo outings and three team-up films in which he stood alongside The Avengers, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man appears to be swinging out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In news that has stunned and dismayed comic book fans, Sony has confirmed discussions with Marvel-owner Disney have reached an impasse, meaning a deal that allowed the wall-crawler to appear in films starring the likes of Iron Man and Captain America is now dead. Having one of the most recognisable superheroes in the world removed from the biggest franchise in box office history seems like an odd move, but the relationship between Peter Parker and the big screen is far from straightforward, with negotiations complex enough to warrant their own Brexit backstop.Why is Sony even involved in the making of Spider-Man films?
Spider-Man is the most beloved character in the Marvel pantheon, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962.But in 1999, during a period of financial uncertainty, Marvel sold the film rights to the superhero to Sony. The rights have remained there ever since and Sony has released a number of Spider-Man films, including a trilogy with Tobey Maguire starting in 2002 and a reboot starring Andrew Garfield in 2012.
