Spider-Man to leave Marvel universe after Disney split with Sony

Spider-Man will no longer appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Sony Pictures and Disney failed to agree on a co-financing deal when their previous deal expired. Sony bought exclusive rights to produce live-action Spider-Man movies from Marvel back in 1999. Spider-Man was left out of the MCU until Disney and Sony struck a deal, allowing Marvel Studios to reintroduce the character in “Captain America: Civil War.” The deal had Sony financing the production and keeping all the revenue in return for Marvel’s creative input. #SpiderMan #Marvel #Sony
