From what I read in an article was that Sony still has the rights to Spider-Man, in the sense that they can govern what happens to Spider-Man in a film if it's something they don't like. Marvel just gets the benefit of allowing to have him appear in a film.
Yeah but it's a shared Universe between them now. That alone means there will have to be major collaboration between the studios in everything they do.
I mean Sony can't have the Sinister Six destroying New York without discussing with Marvel what that will mean for the MCU.
Similarly Marvel can't have Spider-Man revealing his secret identity to the world in Civil War without discussing with Sony what that would mean for their Solo Spider-Man movies.
Honestly not thought about it. I loved Garfield in the role but am more than happy to have him leave for Spider-Man to be in the MCU.
As long as it's a half decent actor I'm not bothered. Because once he puts that mask on Spidey is Spidey whoever plays him. But I do hope he keeps the cocky sense of humor Garfield had. That is how Spidey is in the comics anyway.
if anyone whether it be internet trolls or not want someone hired to be of old age, think again, the actor hired will be someone younger than that sorry ass Garfield was
I still think Marvel & Disney could have waited Sony out, and eventually gotten the rights free and clear. The latter was the desperate party here; the MCU is the biggest franchise going right now. They don't need to do favours for a rival.
I guess they really care about old Webhead...

Of course they do. He's always been Marvel's Poster Boy. It would be like Dc not being able to use Superman or Batman. Although that probably aided Marvel in its Mega success with smaller properties.
It wasn't about financial need/greed for them at this point. It was the sentiment of being able to use their No.1 Icon. It was about fan satisfaction. The fans who used to buy those Marvel comics to see Spider-Man team up with the Avengers.
And as far as I can tell they haven't invested much(if any) financial risk in this deal.
So psyched about this! My favorite Marvel character aside from Hulk and Wolverine interacting with the likes of Thor, Hulk, and possibly GOTG. Good news all around.
