Avengers: End of the game Director Joe Russo said that removing Spider-Man from the Marvel film universe was a "tragic mistake".
Russo's comments follow the failure of the agreement between Disney and Sony on the financing of the franchise, which led to the removal of Tom Holland's superhero from the MCU.
"It was a fragile and frail union throughout the process," he told the Toronto Sun, describing the agreement between Disney and Sony.

"But I will say, taking a step back and trying to be as objective as possible, that I think it's a tragic mistake on the part of Sony to think that they can reproduce [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin [Feige]Penchant for telling incredible stories and the incredible success he has known over the years.
"I think it's a big mistake."
1/23 The Iron Man 2
23 Iron Man 2 is barely holding. Rather than follow the surprising Iron Man success, Marvel Studios have decided to overload the film with universal references (Black Widow, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson of SHIELD making all their appearances) and villains in two dimensions ( played by Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke). The result is a film without any direction that serves as a Trojan for the Avengers.
Marvel / Disney
2/23 Thor: The World of Darkness
22 When the Thor franchise lost its director, Kenneth Branagh, between the first and second films, she also had to bid farewell to Shakespearean theatrics, which had given her a crazy charm. Led by Alan Taylor of Game of Thrones, The Dark World gives priority to its VFX effects. It's a little boring: Christopher Eccleston's Malekith is (by far) Marvel's worst villain, a bunch of prosthetics without any personality, while Chris Hemsworth's Thor completes one of London Tube's most unrealistic journeys in the whole cinematographic history.
Marvel / Disney
3/23 The incredible Hulk
21 Edward Norton's version of the shattering Hulk is often forgotten by Marvel fans – and for good reason. While Mark Ruffalo's clumsy interpretation of the character has an appealing charm, Norton's snotty monster is devoid of any charisma. While Liv Tyler calls Betty Ross in her performance as a love interest, the film falls flat emotionally and serves as a story of origin by numbers.
Marvel / Disney
4/23 Avengers: the era of Ultron
20 Just in case we would have forgotten that Disney is a devastating titan that owns half of Hollywood, the following of the 2012 Avengers decided to slip into a small business synergy: when Iron Man creates accidentally a sensitive robot (voiced by James Spader) who decides that the only salvation of the Earth goes through the destruction of humanity, he announces his sinister plans with the accompaniment of a small quote from the classic "I'm not Got No Strings "from 1940, Pinocchio. This is a moment that illustrates Ultron's feeling as a cold, calculated operation of Marvel Studios. It's simply a checklist that forces us to move on to the next chapter of the MCU.
Marvel / Disney
5/23 Thor
19 Although Kenneth Branagh's launching lineup for Marvel's God of Thunder went perfectly well, this version has suffered tremendously from the dramatic sense of the MCU's progression over the years. Tom Hiddleston's Loki is undoubtedly a strong and well-crafted character, and his plot against his adoptive father (Anthony Hopkins) is exquisitely exacerbated. However, he must have waited for Thor: Ragnarok for Chris Hemsworth's hero to develop a sense of character far beyond the original "fish out of the water" trope.
Marvel / Disney
6/23 Strange doctor
18 A rich, egocentric white man ventures into a distant land and realizes his potential as a superhero – does that tell you anything? This is because Doctor Strange and Iron Man are basically the same story, except that one uses magic and other explosives. Benedict Cumberbatch's Marveldebut impresses with its kaleidoscope visual, but lacks the heart of Robert Downey Jr's hero, leading to a film that spoils the talents of Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen.
Marvel / Disney
7/23 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
17 The first Guardians of the Galaxy was a risky adventure inspired by Star Wars, following a group of holes that make an unlikely familiar connection. For the second film, James Gunn has decided to take everything back to eleven, chaining half a dozen stories intertwined, which has the effect of setting aside the skinny star Lord Chris Pratt. The sequel, however, introduced the now cherished phrase "I'm Mary Poppins, you too," yelled Yondu as he fell gracefully from the sky. A wonderfully comical moment in a film that is still missing half a dozen punches.
Marvel / Disney
8/23 The Avengers
16 Marvel's first crossover film was an unprecedented film event – an event that has likely changed Hollywood cinema forever, now that all major studios seem to be attempting to approach "franchises" with a "shared universe". Although the MCU has refined the model ever since, The Avengers continued to emphasize the humor, character and heart that would define the success story of Marvel Studios. It is a blockbuster that feels on all fronts, offering thrills not only in the finale of the "Battle of New York", but also in creating a team of perfectly balanced and complementary characters.
Marvel / Disney
9/23 Captain America: Civil War
15 Despite Captain America: Civil War (AKA Avengers 2.5) with Iron Man, Black Widow and Ant-Man (as well as the introduction of Black Panther and Spider-Man), the film remains primarily devoted to Captain America. And maybe that's why the stuffed blockbuster works: without the central focus, the civil war could have fallen into the trap of other Marvel suites by being too complicated. The Russo brothers also make one of the best action scenes in Marvel history so far, the airport scene, which seems to come straight from a comic book.
Marvel / Disney
10/23 Ant-Man and the wasp
14 While the first Ant Man was a mirror image of his star Paul Rudd, essentially delivering a studio comedy dressed in spandex, the latter found a new trick in his bag in the form of Hope van Dyne 's. Evangeline Lilly – an intelligent and capable heroine who did not exist simply to serve as a guardian for male characters.
Marvel / Disney
11/23 Spider-Man: far from home
13 What comes after the end? This is the issue that has been a concern for the Marvel film universe since the release of Avengers: Endgame has been sold to us as the ultimate and cumulative chapter of a series of 22 interconnected films. And yet, while Far From Home is a distinct middle-level Marvel product, there's a lot to be said about it not being crushed under the weight of its own ambitions. This sounds quite like the end of a chapter, the beginning of a new one, an epilogue and a cleanser for the palate. It also works perfectly as a movie on Spider-Man.

12/23 The ant man
12 Ant-Man should not have worked as a movie. Just look at the title! It is ridiculous to think that a film about a man with ant powers should work – not to mention a resounding success and part of the larger film universe underway. Yet, despite production problems (Edgar Wright was originally to direct the film), Peyton Reed is making this hilarious film out of the blue, taking the Marvel world a bit less seriously than others.
Marvel / Disney
13/23 Avengers: war in the infinite
11 In 2018, Marvel redefined cinematographic narratives, creating a unique highlight for a decade of films. While this is a total nonsense for anyone new to the franchise (if that's possible), it was an emotional release for fans that was second to none. The Russo brothers had the monumental task of ensuring that every cross – from the Guardians of the Galaxy to the Wakanda Kingdom – works in a natural way, while bringing the biggest villain of the MCU, Thanos, into the front of the scene. Epic at once in terms of scale and stakes, Infinity War also stages one of the most memorable finals in the history of blockbusters.
Marvel / Disney
14/23 Captain America: the first avenger
ten. With or without the beard, Steve Rogers aka Captain America has now become the nerve center of the Avengers, but there was once a time when he was completely turned to heroism. Director Joe Johnston remained faithful to the film in the 1940s in a film that embraces the news of early comics history, as Steve strikes the Nazis and the military military officer Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), although her character is fortunately never relegated to the role of damsel in distress.
Marvel / Disney
15/23 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
9 Although centered on a super powerful American nationalist, Captain America's trilogy has the most consistent quality in the MCU. The winter soldier, his coronation, is an adrenaline-filled conspiracy thriller that offers a dramatic twist and raises questions about modern surveillance. However, since the Russo brothers are rooting the rest of the film in realism, CGI's breathtaking end is fraught with meaning.
Marvel / Disney
16/23 Captain Marvel
8 Brie Larson gives an overkill performance in the role of Carol Danvers, the actor playing a hero at once relatable and ambitious, strong but vulnerable. Although Captain Marvel may not revolutionize the studio's formula, the superhero's first release provides a platform to show his powers that annihilate Thanos. Through a smart script, it also offers one of the best character developments in the MCU.
Marvel / Disney
17/23 Spider-Man: Homecoming
seven. While the miraculous arrival of Spider-Man within the MCU came with Captain America: Civil War, it was not until the Homecoming that we actually knew Peter Parker. The incarnation of Tom Holland goes beyond the version of Andrew Garfield, thanks to the story of the film starring minor stakes, allowing intimate moments with the character. In addition to great comic performances (Jacob Batalon as Ned stands out), Michael Keaton's vulture is a terrifying villain, and the turn is superbly done.
Marvel / Disney
18/23 Iron Man 3
6 Even if it divides Marvel's fans, Shane Black's superhero outing – with the sharp and acute dialogue of the author / director – ends Tony Stark's story (or what should have been its end) with humor and heart to spare. While the genius of a billionaire, Robert Downey Jr., deals with PTSD and struggles with his robotic creations, we see an actor give everything he has. As Civil War and The Avengers brought him back into action, his fingers crossed. Avengers: Endgame will give the character an emotionally satisfying send.
Marvel / Disney
19/23 Avengers: End of the game
5 It is a difficult film to place in the canon of MCU, simply because the majority of its emotional repercussions only work thanks to the preparatory work done by more than a decade of cinema. Avengers: Endgame deals less with individual storytelling than with the collective experience of cinema itself. It exists to be consumed in the dark, surrounded by loved ones, like all of you, cheering, panting and crying in unison. After-sales service at work can sometimes seem a little outrageous at how bold it is, but Endgame earns the right to indulge. It is above all a celebration of these films and their impact on the world.
AP
20/23 Thor: Ragnarok
4 Completely transforming the Thor franchise into one effortless move, director Taika Waititi injected new energy into the MCU. Ragnarok is perfectly balanced both as a standard Marvel film, with all the heroic rights and builders of the world intact, and as a work owned exclusively by Waititi, filled with the humor and charm that goes with it. He had previously deployed in What We Do in the Shadow and Wilderpeople Hunt. By finding a way to incorporate individual voices into his imposing franchise machine, Marvel discovered the secret of true long-term success.
Marvel / Disney
21/23 Iron Man
3 Where it all began Iron Man diverted expectations by not only reintroducing Robert Downey Jr to the world, but also showing that a relatively unknown B character could be at the center of a blockbuster. Other cinematic universes fail because they try to introduce too much (an error committed in Iron Man 2). The first Iron Man, however, had an autonomous story that only suggested a larger world – a world that would eventually become a multi-billion dollar franchise.
Marvel / Disney
22/23 Guardians of the Galaxy
2 Exploding the Marvel Universe into space for an adventure with a truly fragmented heroic group, including both a talking raccoon and a sacred creature, Guardians of the Galaxy is arguably the biggest risk that the franchise has taken. And that paid off dramatically, with director James Gunn giving the superhero genre a light layer of joy for the B-movie. He has also turned Chris Pratt, the star of Parks and Recreation, into a big box office draw he's in today.
Marvel / Disney
23/23 Black Panther
1. Although Black Panther always conscientiously fulfills all the requirements of a Marvel movie, bridging past and future movies and ending with a cinematic battle filled with CGI trickery, Ryan Coogler has managed, as a director, to use a story in traditional cinema. In the dispute between T'Challa of Chadman Boseman, the leader of Wakanda, and Killmonger of Michael B Jordan, he provides a nuanced and layered commentary on colonialism and black identity. It is a film that triumphs at once in its kind by bringing new perspectives to the history of superheroes and outside of it, satisfying only as a narrative play.

The Russo brothers presented the latest version of Spider-Man in their 2016 film Captain America: Civil War.
"We had a wonderful experience with that and I think the public really enjoyed this wedding," said Anthony Russo.
"But we know how difficult this wedding was to be, so the fact that the marriage collapsed is not really surprising to me and Joe."
Disney and Sony were unable to reach a financial deal in August after Disney demanded that any future movie starring Spider-Man be a "50/50 co-financing agreement," which Sony refused.
Earlier this month, Sony's boss, Toy Vinciquerra, said the "door is closed" on Spider-Man coming back to the MCU.
