I don't hate Sony, I'm a huge Spiderman fan.


Speaking of which....

Now that Disney owns the rights to Spidey, wouldn't they be looking to produce movies in their own studios, rather than Sony?


Woah I thought Sony still owned the cinematic rights to the Spiderman franchise.


Ah! Here we go:

Any of the previous motion picture deals Marvel made with other studios will remain intact, at least until they expire. (Currently major Marvel franchises are farmed out to several different studios: Spider-Man at Columbia/Sony, Iron Man and other Avengers at Paramount, X-Men at Fox, and so on.) New franchises, and franchises continuing beyond existing deals, will likely be under the Disney/Marvel name.

Some deals will remain intact: Spider-Man's deal at Sony, for example, is open-ended, with three more films on the way under the Columbia name, and Paramount still has a deal to release five more Marvel films, starting with Iron Man 2.
