AGAIN? In my lifetime now I have seen… god how many 4 separate spiderman reboots? This is literally the definition of insanity. Take. The hint. Sony, we are tired of superheroes. They’re fun, but god can you give it 2 years without doing a spiderman film?
Sony made the deal in the late 1990s when Marvel was basically bankrupt. They didn’t predict that Disney would eventually own the whole thing and turn it into a behemoth.
To be fair, the fact that it is now a behemoth is probably a factor in why Sony continues to throw money at it instead of letting the rights lapse. The more people Disney gets into Marvel, the more potential for better return on a Sony-made movie in the same universe. At least that’s probably what the execs think.
I’m not tired of superheroes. I’m tired of the same superheroes being rebooted again and again, and then shitty, poorly written, poorly acted money grabs.

They literally can’t. If they go too long between spider man movies the rights revert back to Marvel.
Now that I didn’t know, and explains a lot. That seems like either a very smart deal by marvel, and/or a very stupid deal by sony

That doesn’t mean the best course of action is dumping a billion dollars into a movie that flops.
So our only hope is that they keep on making shit movies until they decide they’re only going to keep on losing money and hand it back to marvel
Or… They could just revive the Spectacular Spiderman series, right? Everyone loved that show.

The Uncle Ben must be sacrificed!
