New Details On Just How Much Control Marvel Studios Has Over SPIDER-MAN
Some more details have now emerged about the involvement of Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man and the subsequent 2017 movie, and it's sounding more and more like the character will be safe both from them and the new Sony Pictures boss...
Yesterday's news about Tom Rothman (someone whose track record with superhero properties is not good thanks to his tenure at Fox) taking over from Amy Pascal worried a lot of Spider-Man fans. To put it bluntly, pretty much everyone was wondering, "Is he going to f**k up the deal with Marvel?!" Based on a report over at Latino-Review, probably not! They reiterate that Avi Arad and Matt Tolomach are producers in name only, adding: "We have information from a source suggesting there is no financial involvement whatsoever and no direct creative control over Spidey coming from the old guard. Amy Pascal still has a say in the Mom-and-Pop arrangement she has with Feige, but Disney didn’t want to unite Pearlmutter, Arad and Feige in earnest. This is the solution. What does that mean? It means Marvel might have a bit more control than we thought. It means the new Spider-Man has been insulated from BOTH Avi Arad and new Sony head, superhero property curse, Tom Rothman." This is obviously very good news, and backs up a lot of what we've been hearing over the past few weeks. Share your thoughts in the usual place!
