Spider-Man May Be out of<br />the Marvel Cinematic Universe<br />.<br />In a series of tweets posted on their official<br />Twitter account, Sony addressed the recent<br />reports of their conflict with Disney.<br />According to Sony, it was Disney’s decision to pull<br />producer Kevin Feige from the “Spider-Man” franchise. .<br />Much of today’s news about Spider-Man has<br />mischaracterized recent discussions about<br />Kevin Feige’s involvement in the franchise. We<br />are disappointed, but respect Disney’s decision<br />not to have him continue as a lead producer<br />of our next live action Spider-Man film, Sony Films, via statement.<br />Sony also claimed that Feige’s departure<br />is due to his busy schedule with Disney. .<br />[We] understand that the many new<br />responsibilities that Disney has given<br />him – including all their newly added Marvel<br />properties – do not allow time for him to<br />work on IP they do not own, Sony Films, via statement.<br />The statement contradicts initial reports that said<br />Feige was forced out by Sony, due to the two<br />studios inability to negotiate financial terms. .<br />Feige served as a lead producer on both the<br />standalone "Spider-Man" movies and “Avengers”<br />movies that Spider-Man appeared in.<br />Without a working deal in place between Sony and<br />Disney, Spider-Man will no longer crossover into the MCU.<br />The “Spider-Man” franchise is currently Sony’s most<br />valuable brand, with two more movies scheduled<br />for future release, regardless of Feige’s involvement.
