With Sony's Amazing Spider-Man franchise in need of saving and Marvel Film trying to create a
movie that would benefit from having Spider-Man, Sony and Marvel are in the talks for a Spider-
Man crossover.
"The character is of course an integral part of the comic-book version of that story."
"In an Oct. 30 e-mail, Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad tells about a potential scenario that would see Marvel produce a new trilogy of Spider-Man movies while Sony retains 'creative control, marketing, and distribution."
In the Marvel Civil War story line, Spider-Man plays an essential role, because of his disputes with
other Marvel characters, like Tony Stark. Sony's last hope to save the Spider-Man franchise is
the Amazing Spider-Man spin-off series. Therefore, it would benefit both studios to come to an
agreement over a Spider-Man crossover. The ownership of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise is a
good example for showcasing how important ownership really is, especially with films like these,
with intricate story lines that require cross-overs. Companies will have to learn how to settle these
disputes and come to an agreement that can benefit them, and their audiences.
