“Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s great characters, beloved around the world. We’re thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building.”-Bob Iger, CEO and Chairman of The Walt Disney Company.
"Marvel’s involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years.”-Keven Feige, President of Marvel Studios.
It will be interesting how this will all play out, with there being two companies involved like this. It is not that anyone would be worried that Spider-Man (and other characters) would be misused per say, it is the creative direction that could slow things down here. Other questions arise of course, as to who will play Spider-Man in Marvel's movieverse? Will it be someone new, or Sony's current Spidey, Andrew Garfield? Which of the Marvel Studios owned characters will appear in a Sony fillm? And of course, will we see something similar with FOX and the X-Men franchise? Like everything, we'll have to wait and see.
