SPIDER-MAN Could Return To The MCU One Day, But "For The Moment The Door Is Closed"

Spider-Man is now officially out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it doesn't look like he'll be swinging back in any time soon.

Although fans were led to believe that Sony Pictures and Disney/Marvel could still return to the table, Sony chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra told Variety that "the door is closed” when it comes to the possibility of Peter Parker showing up in The MCU - for the foreseeable future, at least. However, he did add that “it’s a long life,” which could suggest that both parties will renegotiate... eventually!

In the meantime, The Web-Head will forge a new path in Sony's "Spider-Verse," and Vinciquerra seems very confident that the character will continue his success without the help of Kevin Feige. “Spiderman was fine before the event movies, did better with the event movies, and now that we have our own universe, he will play off the other characters as well,” he said. “I think we’re pretty capable of doing what we have to do here.”

Vinciquerra also maintains that there's “no ill will” between Sony and Marvel, so perhaps when Spidey is done playing with Venom, Morbius and co. we will see another team-up with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

@billnye69 - It’s a TRAP!

Sony’s comments door is closed “for now” and “life is long” is just them trying not to completely alienate the MCU fan base.

That is all.

Sony still wants the millions of MCU fans to go and checkout Venom 2 because those fans will still be hoping that Spidey will come back.

Similar to how they played the 1st Venom movie being in a gray area with Amy Pascal inferring he may be part of the MCU despite Kevin Feige’s chagrin.

Very interesting. Sounds like Kevin Feige is also the victim, aside from the fans of course.

@billnye69 - Even tho I don't like this whiney cookie puss version of Spidey, it actually fits perfectly in the MCU with all the kiddie jokes. I think it will affect more than just shareholders.

WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THOSE CHILDREN?

Spider-man is not going back to the MCU.

This experiment has proven to be a disaster for the MCU. They tied massive segments of plot into the idea of Spider-man being in the MCU.

Mysterio is the worlds greatest hero. A hero has been framed for attempted mass murder.

They should be going straight from this into Dark Reign, Seige, Thunderbolts, Masters Of Evil, Dark Avengers... basically everything that focuses around the idea of a distrust in heroes. Instead they are ignoring that because the set-up they left was never something they intended to follow-up on, similar to how the first movie ended.

MCU Spider-man is a series that is filled with a lack of consequences, he gets the girl, he gets money, he gets suits, he gets fame and anytime consequences do occur they are in a cliffhanger that is never dealt with or a minor hurdle that he immediately overcomes.

I dont want Spider-man back in the MCU if they are going to continue treating the character as a stepping stone or a wannabee Iron Man.

@FleischerSupes - Yes, it's a lot more than "disappointment" for a lot of fans. Since this news broke (not the idea that they're taking him back, I always expected that, but that they would cut off his story again before a third movie) it's changed my view of Disney, Sony, and my general interest in pop culture. I don't come to this site nearly as much. I haven't watched any of the D23 trailers. I'm rethinking cancelling my netflix for disneyplus. And I've seen every Spidey movie on opening night, but I'd stick a screwdriver in my ear before I'd contribute a cent to any more Venomverse crap. Feels so much like a Fox-men move, heartlessly butchering any continuity because it's just a job and there's no real passion for the material. Screw all this fat-cat gluttony and greed.

Like you say, I'm just as glad to go read more of the books/comics I've been missing out on.

The Sony boss bullishly expressed his belief that the character will do “just fine” outside of the MCU, pointing to the success of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and the Sony-Amazon series “The Boys” as evidence that Sony is fully capable of hitting the mark on the superhero front.


I know Sony did Breaking Bad for amc, but I didn't know about this. I guess those Spidey shows might be Prime Exclusive?

@tmp3 - Technically Disney own's the TV rights to Spider-Man, not Sony from what I understand (Sony only fully own's the film rights). Sony can do a 'TV show' only in the sense that each episode has to if I'm not mistaken be more than 45 - 50 or so minutes, while if Disney on the other hand wanted to say do a MCU Spider-Man show on DisneyPlus, they could also do it. The only issue on Disney's part would be that it'd be expensive as hell, and I'm not entirely sure they could use Tom Holland.

Idk Sony. Into the Spider-Verse was very good but Venom......

I mean, there is a reason why Sony agreed to do the Marvel deal to begin with! Oh well...

....does the Sony executive not know how Spider-Man got into the MCU in the first place or is he just that bad of a liar

If they were fully capable I don’t think he would’ve ever been in the mcu. If you asked me this was always the plan. Why else would they develop a spider verse with no Spider-Man?

The reason I don’t think they’re capable is because they only have one(established) character that’s actually interesting on his own and I don’t have faith they can make other lesser characters interesting. Tom hardy and Michelle Williams couldn't do that. But we’ll see. I like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. I think he’s number 1 live action and 2 all time

Just interested to see if and how they reference what he’s done in the mcu.. can he even name drop? The whole sitch sucks.. I just hope Sony doesn’t “Sony “ it up.. and by that I mean let avi arad produce it or have anything to do with it..

I won’t ever pay to watch a Sony Spider-Man movie. I’ll go see a MCU Marvel Studios Spider-Man movie. I refused to pay to go see Venom. My wife rented it later on and we nearly threw up at how bad it was - like Fox F4 bad. Sony is gambling on theirselves at this point and with their shareholders money nonetheless. Worse off they nearly destroyed the beloved franchise with those god awful MacGuire and Garfield movies, and trust me they’re doing it again with this latest move and all out of some misguided egotistical inability to let go of Spider-Man. The act as if they invented and own the character. They don’t. They have a silly film licensing agreement that goes on a three year timer and the last time the clock ran down they begged Kevin Feige to rescue them. I say let them crash and burn this time. I want Spidey films back in tbe hands of its creator Marvel with Disney at the helm. It’s high time aspidey be taken out of the hands of the Avi zealots at Sony.

It's come to the point where I'm more invested in Spider-Verse than Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Love ya Tom, but Miles blew my mind.

You act like because Disney wanted to renegotiate that it was the reason the deal fell apart. This was always Sony's plan to take him back Amy Pascal even hinted as much multiple times. All Disney did was give Sony a media talking point so they could escape the deal and blame Disney for ruining it.

Also not sure why you always bring up Disney having the merch rights because they've had those rights since well before this was even thought of. Why would Disney offer Sony a cut of that money when Sony was already destroying the brand?

this energy will trickle into other avenues with spidey? Will they succeed without the MCU i doubt it unless they used Kevin Feige for the blueprint and kicked him out to use his ideas with an Avid Arad Twist. PS5 will now flop because fans will be disgruntled. This is coming from an PlayStation fan from the Jump. Mark my words you heard it here first. They will reap a heap of negative press from this. Just watch.

The last 3 live action movies that Sony has done primarily featuring Spiderman pre-MCU deal ranged from exceedingly mediocre to god awful pieces of shit.

But sure, they totally know what they're doing now.

I still haven't talked to a single person who thought Venom was great. Yes, there were people who were relatively surprised by it being alright (how so many indications pointed to it being a trainwreck), it SOMEHOW made a shit load of money and that's the only reason they're building on it.

in other words, they'll sort it out in the 2/3 years is gonna take them make another one of these anyways.
I mean, come on, am I the only one who doesn't believe any of this sh*t at this point? they have to know they're f*cking themselves up by doing this, they can't possibly be THAT stupid.
so how is this going to be the same Peter Parker but not inhabit the same world he previously did? good luck figuring that out guys.
