Sony Pictures CEO: Re-cooperation with Marvel is not possible for the time being

Previously, Sony and Marvel's breakup allowed Spider-Man to exit the MCU, which had already disappointed players. However, recent remarks by Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra seem to have further dashed Spider-Man's hopes of returning to the MCU.

Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra said yesterday (September 5) at the Entertainment and Technology Summit of foreign media Variety that the door to cooperation with Marvel is currently closed .

After Marvel and Sony reached an agreement, Holland's Spider-Man successfully joined the Avengers. But the deal ended with the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, which was also a huge success for Sony, with box office revenue currently at $1 billion, making it the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie of all time.

Marvel's super producer and leader Kevin Feige is of course an important part of the success of Spider-Man: Far From Home, but Marvel's father, Disney overlord, hopes to get more box office share from future Spider-Man movies, which is also the main reason for Marvel and Sony's breakup.

Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra said that a 50-50 split with Disney was impossible, but Sony had no ill will towards Marvel. " We worked very well with Kevin Feige on the Spider-Man movie, and we are trying to see if there is no way to solve this problem," said Vinciquerra. "Marvel's employees are great and we respect them very much, but we have excellent people on Sony's side as well. Next, Sony will use the characters associated with Spider-Man to create the Spider-Man universe. He believes Spider-Man will perform very well outside the MCU. "

In addition, Tony Vinciquerra also pointed out that "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is the best non-Marvel movie in the "Spider-Man" series. In addition, "Venom 2" which is currently in production is also very good.
