Simply once you thought that the entire points surrounding Sony and Marvel Studios negotiating over Spider-based heroes was nicely and really over, a brand new rumor has popped as much as point out that which may not be the case. The web was despatched right into a frenzy final summer time when the rival studios’ character-sharing settlement over Spider-Man led to acrimonious divorce, earlier than the 2 sides ultimately kissed and made up, with Tom Holland’s web-slinger set to stay a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the foreseeable future.
Now we discover ourselves within the distinctive scenario the place there are two separate comedian e-book franchises beneath two completely different banners, with the one frequent theme being Spider-Man. Whereas Spidey is certainly not the glue holding the MCU collectively, he’s being constructed up as one of many franchise’s marquee names within the absence of Captain America and Iron Man, whereas Sony are counting on him to drop by frequently in an effort to bump up the field workplace numbers for their very own Marvel universe, with a watch to having him take a distinguished function within the eventual Sinister Six film.
Now, hypothesis hints that Kevin Feige is eager to convey Spider-Woman into the MCU, despite the fact that Sony are reportedly within the early levels of creating a solo film that includes the character, with Tomb Raider’s Alicia Vikander stated to be one of many names into consideration to play Jessica Drew. Tipster Charles Murphy, who has an honest observe file with these sort of scoops, hinted that the 2 events have been contemplating a brand new deal on a latest episode of his podcast, saying:
“The final that I heard, they have been at the very least having conversations with Sony about making an attempt to make it a co-opt. I do know that Feige is at the very least all in favour of making a Jessica Drew film with Sony.”
Like many Marvel superheroes, the rights points surrounding Spider-Woman are fairly sophisticated. Though she has ties to names and organizations owned by Disney, as a minor Spider-Man character she seemingly belongs to Sony. So in concept, Feige might make a Jessica Drew film if he wished to, however most likely couldn’t name her Spider-Woman. With Sony engaged on a solo movie already, it might actually make sense for the 2 sides to broaden their settlement, particularly with Marvel Studios having a a lot better observe file of profitable comedian e-book franchises than their Sony counterparts.
