Marvel Studios will no longer be producing films featuring Spider-Man. Sony and Disney did not agree on the future of the famous superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, in the next few years, Marve still has to present two of Spider-Man’s premieres. Should fans wait for the tragic fate of the superhero as the end of his existence in the universe? Spider-Man to die odds predict one of the possible endings of the last two movies. 

Social networks actively discuss what will happen to the character if he goes to the copyright holder again. Fans criticize Sony for previous films about the hero and worry about the likely departure of the beloved character from the Marvel franchise. Besides, everyone is worried that the disagreement between the film studios will lead to the death of Spider-Man in one of the last films. 

Sony and Disney terminated the contract because of the monetary dispute

On the 20th of August, Marvel President Kevin Feige announced that he would no longer be producing films featuring Spider-Man superhero. The reason for this was the monetary dispute, which lasted for several months. Disney proposed that Sony equally divides both the financing of future blockbusters and the profit from them. In turn, Sony insisted on maintaining the old arrangements, according to which Disney has only five percent of the profit.

Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man and leases it to Marvel for their movie universe. Besides, under the agreement, Disney received money mainly from merchandise sales, and the rest went to Sony. “Spider-Man: Far from home” was the most successful project in the history of the studio. Moreover, it raised more than 1.1 billion dollars. After this, the old conditions have become unfavorable for Marvel. Online gambling sites in the US offer bets on the future fate of the hero. 

Spider-Man to die odds are increasing in the next two movies

The head of Sony Pictures Tony Vinciquerra confirmed the information that Spider-Man is no longer connected with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit in L.A, he stated: “This door has been closed so far”. But Peter Parker may remain in the Marvel universe. Sony representatives told that the dispute with Disney, in their opinion, only concerned Kevin Feige as a producer.
