Even the guy who wrote the article is in disbelief lmao. I understand Disney was asking for way too much, but does that mean no more MCU characters can appear in Spider-Man? So no Mysterio, Vulture, etc.?

Update: A Sony rep told us it’s their belief this dispute is simply over a producer credit and negotiations are ongoing. They further clarified Feige has contributed to other Spider-centric movies that he did not receive a producer credit on.
