There's a chance Spider-Man will finally be included in the Marvel movie universe where he belongs. The Register is reporting that Sony is looking to sell off some of their movie properties, including Spider-Man and Resident Evil. Apparently, Sony Pictures is going through some financial issues. This is basically a cost cutting measure in order to put more work and effort into the company's electronics division. This is the direct quote form the site:
"Sony has said that it will consider a proposal from activist investor Daniel Loeb that the group should sell off parts of its music and movies business, which includes popular franchises Spider-Man and Resident Evil and the weepy ballads of Brit crooner Adele."
Sony Chief executive Kazuo Hirai, confirms the news and says the board is actually considering the proposal saying,
"Third Point’s proposal involves the way we manage a core business of the Sony group and the direction of our management. So the Sony board will give it thorough consideration before replying to Mr Loeb."
Nothing is set in stone yet, but it looks like there's a chance Spider-Man could go back to Marvel if they want it. And why wouldn't they? I'm curious to see how this all plays out. But in all honesty I don't see why Sony would get rid of one of their biggest most profitable properties, it's hard to believe that they would be willing to do that, and I doubt that they will.

So there's no truth to this news at all. Harry from AICN contacted Sony's Amy Pascal and she said that they would "Never ever ever" let go of SPIDER-MAN.
The reports says that "She feels the property is directly tied to her legacy and time at SONY. Not just that, she is really thrilled by the work on the new film."
So as expected there it is. Marvel will never get Spider-Man back, and that's a shame. |
