This has been a whirlwind week for fans of the MCU's Spider-Man. There have been all sorts of rumors swirling around as to why the two companies split from their partnership, and both sides came off as spoiled, petulant children.
Now it seems that the foot stomping and breath holding has stopped and they are back to negotiating on a new agreement. The word is that they are discussing a 7 movie deal that would bring Tom Holland's Peter Parker back into the MCU for the third movie of his trilogy, two new Avenger movies, and a second trilogy that would follow Peter Parker through college. I'm guessing that the seventh movie would involve a crossover appearance for another character. The two Avenger movies is alleged to be when Spidey meets Johnny Storm for the first time. It's also being said that those two would team up with Firestar a well, a la Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, with the Human Torch taking the place of Iceman, but who knows? Maybe Iceman will show up instead, since the X-Men are now a part of the MCU.
Another one of the details is that Venom could be incorporated into the MCU as well, which kind of makes sense. It's not well known, but Sony went to Feige for help in putting the final cut of the movie together, because there was no flow or continuity to what they had. The movie became a surprise hit for Sony because of this.
The last part of the deal is that Disney would allow Sony to move forward with Spider-verse live-action television show, which they wouldn't have been able to do since Disney owned the television rights to Spidey.
They are trying to get this deal finalized before the start of tomorrow's D23 panel for the announcement, so expect to hear more later in the day...if any of this turns out to be true. Let's all hope that it is!
