Dec.12.14 – by Kellvin Chavez
We previously reported on the potential deal between Marvel and Sony to share the rights to Spider-Man at a 60/40 split, and that deal seems to be the one that will potentially be jump-started if Sony Pictures Entertainment continues to stumble in their handling of the Spider-Man franchise.
Sony is understandably preoccupied with the consequences of a massive hack that includes leaked films, downed intranet services and the leak of documents and e-mails, but should this deal move forward, we've learned some more details about what Spider-Man's potential return to Marvel would entail.
The 60/40 split still looks to be the divide with Sony handling distribution. However, Marvel's not inclined to give Sony creative control over the character, nor planning on honoring the contracts with Sony's Spider-Stars. More poking into the origins of the Aunt May solo film and Female Spider movie rumors revealed that these were actual Sony Picture Entertainment plans that Marvel knew about and severely disliked. Now that Marvel can have the rights to the character back, they plan to wipe the slate with the Amazing Spider-Man universe.
IF the Marvel/Sony deal were to go forward, Andrew Garfield would no longer be Peter Parker and any baggage from existing films, Raimi or Webb, would be non-canonical, Marvel doesn't want any part of those films. The idea is that the Spider-Man romance movie has been played out over five installments, so any new Spider-Man films would focus on the difficulties of being a teenager and a superhero with a romance side-story, not the film's focus. Marvel also thinks that the origin story is well-trodden territory, so any Spider-Man movies under this deal would begin with Peter Parker already leading a dual life. Spider-Man making his debut in Captain America: Civil War is still a distinct possibility and would serve as the character's introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But as of now Spider-Man will NOT be in Civil War. I was told that they have a script nailed down.
Marvel's desire to remove Andrew Garfield from the role was a major point of contention with Sony's Amy Pascal, traditionally a stalwart defender of the talent in her films. However, current events leave her positioned slightly weakened.

How you gonna tell Marvel how to put out their own star ? Aunt May movie ? Spidergirl ? SMMFH, Sony not even original just lazy w/ their ideas and doing anything they think will make money for their broke asses SMMFH. Of course Disney Marvel gonna step in and call their bullshit.
If I were Disney Marvel, if they didn't comply (and 60/40 is a GOOD fuckin deal considering it still allows Sony to use Spiderman), I'd just shut them down entirely from using Spiderman altogether. If they won't respect him why should I honor our arrangement ? FOH I can guaran-fuckin-tee Disney Marvel will put out the BEST Spiderman movie ever. Same goes for X-Men. Iuno how Sony fucked up Wolverine or the X-men, you'd have to be a real claffy to fuck that up SMMFH.
