Breaking: Spider-Man on the MCU: Marvel, Sony can not reach the agreement

According to Deadline, Marvel Studios will no longer produce Spider-Man movies in the Marvel film universe, due to the inability for Sony Pictures and Disney to reach new terms that would have allowed Disney to co-finance the future. The highest levels of the two companies have essentially resulted in Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige being excluded from future Spider-Man projects, according to Deadline. Disney had asked for a 50/50 co-financing agreement between the two studios on future Spider-Man movies. Still according to the sources of Deadline, Sony has declined the offer. Sony has proposed to keep the same arrangement as the terms governing the first two Spider-Man MCU movies, so that Disney would receive only 5% of the first gross dollar. Disney refused this market.

"First Raw Dollar" is a practice in the finance of filmmaking which means that a participant earns a percentage of the box office revenue from the film the first day of its release. Stars like Leonardo DiCaprio have used this practice on Inception, more than doubling his usual rate of acting because of the unexpected success of the film.

Deadline's sources say Disney CEO Bob Iger has spent months trying to negotiate a new deal for Marvel and Sony to continue their partnerships. The sources of Deadline also indicate that Sony has estimated that the studio will manage without Feige.

It's easy to understand why Sony could play hardball with Spider-Man. Spider-Man: In August, Far From Home became Sony's most profitable film, with worldwide sales of $ 1.109 billion, surpassing its previous record, the 2012 James Bond movie, Skyfall.

This is also potentially the reason why Marvel Studios has refused to announce a new Spider-Man movie at Comic Con 2019. Sony still holds the screen rights to Spider-Man's solo films and is also the distributor, dating back to Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider. -Man. Marvel, however, holds all the marketing rights of Spider-Man.

The sources of Deadline indicate that two more Spider-Man films are in preparation and that the actor Tom Holland and the director of Homecoming and Far From Home, Jon Watts, will still participate.

Disney completed its 21st Century Fox acquisition in May, spending $ 71.3 billion to take over the studio's intellectual property.
