‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Producer Hints at End of Sony-Marvel Collaboration After Next Movie

Homecoming Co-producer Amy Pascal hinted that may be the case at CinemaCon Tuesday, saying in an interview with Cosmic Book News that following the already agreed upon sequel to “Homecoming,” the webslinger might once again be restricted to appearing only in films from Sony.

“One of the things that I think is so amazing about this experience is that you don’t have studios deciding to work together to make a film very often,” said Pascal, who served as Chairperson of Sony’s Motion Pictures Group until stepping down in 2015.

[...] it may never happen again — after we do the sequel.

Because Sony and Disney and Marvel all decided that the right thing to do was to allow Peter Parker and Spider-Man to be in the MCU, and to work with the Marvel guys and have them produce this film, and I think that was a very rare thing for three companies to do and a very brilliant thing for them to decide to do because there are only so many stories that you know you can tell again and again and again about Spidey, and this is something that we would never been able to do in any other way.

[...] following the tepid reception for 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” and the company’s infamous computer hacking scandal the same year, Sony reached a deal with Disney, which purchased Marvel in 2009, to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
