we are about to see the first movie to reach 5 billion dollars in the box office

Sony are essentially still in control. Malibu Stacy with a new hat folks.

If they're retaining creative control, I hope that means they follow through with their ideas to make a film about an older Peter Parker.

Sony still has control over it...

God fucking dammit. Sony still has Spidey up their ass lodged in tight.

Disney/Marvel just needs to buy out Sony already.

Just heard they want an even younger Peter Parker cast. And Fiege won't have a say in the spin-offs.

This all amounted to a whole lot of noise over nothing very quickly

Marvel are as out of touch as Sony are.

I will see no movie that changes the core character so much.

Yet you'll read a badly written and illustrated book that changes the core character too much. Funny how that works.
