Hollywood recently has new films exposed, which seems very lively! But in terms of breaking news, Spider-Man's return to Marvel can be said to be the biggest news in Hollywood in recent days!
On August 20, Disney and Sony talked about the future of Spider-Man cooperation, and Spider-Man's withdrawal from MCU caused a sensation. However, no one thought that less than 6 weeks later, on September 28, the two sides reached a new round of agreement, Spider-Man will remain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The reversal of
came so fast that many Marvel fans were caught off guard, and many people lamented "I was crying for nothing."
After the two parties have announced an agreement, they will cooperate to complete the third Spider-Man movie, which will be released on July 16, 2021. After the news of
came out, the Dutch brother, in line with his always "sexy" nature, immediately sent a video of Xiao Lizi's response, "I said I will definitely be back"!
So what is the force that made the two parties reach an agreement, apart from the commercial interests, it turns out that there is the credit of the Dutch brother Tom Holland. It is because of his many mediations between the two sides that the long-awaited wishes of many fans have become reality.
According to insiders, the Dutch brother communicated with Disney boss Bob Iger and Sony Pictures boss Thomas Rothman many times during the talk, and it finally worked. The root cause of the collapse of the two parties' talks is of course money. According to insiders, what Disney initially sought was a 50-50 joint financing agreement. In January of this year, a more moderate 25-25 share agreement was proposed, but Sony has not responded to this in the past six months.
So in June, Disney's joint boss Alan Horn suddenly interrupted the negotiation. In the box office of "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition", both sides did not give in.
After the Dutch brother showed the support of a large number of fans, the "cold war" between the two sides gradually thaw. The new agreement stipulates that in return for the participation of Marvel Pictures CEO Kevin Fitch in the production, Disney and Marvel will obtain 25% of the profits from the Spider-Man movie, and Disney reserves the right to sell derivatives. The final new agreement of
is good for each other.
For Disney, you can develop the fourth stage of the MCU movie without any worries. After the initial superheroes gradually withdrew, Spider-Man has long been regarded as the successor of Iron Man by many people, and C is the best superhero. Candidate.
The appearance of Iron Man in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" shows that Marvel did have this intention. However, the biggest drawback is that the copyright of Spider-Man is not in Marvel's hands. Since the old rival Sony bought the copyright of Spider-Man After going, this became a problem for Marvel.
If Marvel is still as impoverished as before, the key is that with the support of 23 movies in 2011 at the box office of 22.3 billion, the current Marvel can be regarded as rich and powerful, and the future movie universe plan is extremely huge. If there is no Spider-Man, the most popular character in Marvel comics, in this universe, it can't be justified.
is undoubtedly the best choice for co-development with Sony when the copyright is not available. In this way, even if a portion of the income is to be allocated, with Disney’s marketing capabilities, the income from oneself is much greater than this.
For Sony, the revenue from Spider-Man movies is one aspect. On the other hand, with the help of Spider-Man’s popularity, Sony’s subsequent 7-8 years of Spider-Man derivative film and television works will certainly benefit greatly.
Anyway, we will continue to see Marvel's Spider-Man on the big screen. This is a great event, thank you Dutch brother!
