Depends what the line of the contract will say.Pratham wrote:I think this is a fluff talk to be honest.

Sony stands to gain, but they also stand to lose.the two studios will also be working to integrate other characters from the MCU into the future Spider-Man films.
You can see it this way: Sony needs to behave if it wants to have other Marvel characters in their (because it theirs still) Spider-Man movie
Or, this way: as part of the deal you bringing Spidey to our universe, and for the sake of continuity/shared universe, we will put some of ours in your movie.
Neither Sony or Marvel are kind of flexible when in comes to their property, and if their vision clashes things will not go as smoothly as these articles sound to be.
I think this might be a publicity stunt for both studios. Marvel adds Spidey to their universe (but the movie isn't theirs - remember Spider-Man in 2007 will be a standalone movie, still a Sony made one in the Marvel Universe) and Sony will take part of that success that is Marvel right now (and get on the good side of fans). So basically you'll have Spidey pop up in some Marvel movies (shaking hands and winking to the fans ), and the movie Spider-Man will have "it takes place in the MCU" stamp on it. Might be more than that but right now this is how I see it.
Spider-Man is a cash cow and Sony isn't stupid to let it fall in Marvel's hands. They will put their control on it. This is, from Sony's part, an attempt to wash up what they've done before, get on the good side of the fans, and most importantly, get hold of that good delicious money making pie that is Marvel right now.
And what will happen to Sininster Six, their hope for a universe/franchise of their own? Sony knows it has to build something out of Spidey if they want to stay in the game. If it's a big event in the Spider-Man universe (like Sinister Six popping out for example) than this has to have an effect in the MCU now. Sony can do something like that because they have creative control. That's what I said in my previous post.
