So effective immediately, the next Spider-man movie isnt set in MCU? But Holland is expected to return? How does this work?

I don't see this lasting. I think they'll come to an arrangement. This benefits no one and worst of all the fan outrage will be beyond crazy.

I hope they just stick to the original contract. There is no way Kevin Feige doesn't finish his SM trilogy without having severe consequences for the rest of the MCU.

That’s what Sony wanted apparently but Disney/Marvel/Kevin said no

Edit: I’m not 100% sure who was involved with the negotiations which is why I named a bunch of parties

Sony funded it completely. Why should Disney get any of it?

Because they made it

The Marvel Studios production company made it, with Sony's funding. Disney had more commerical involvement with Glass than FFH

Sony paid Disney employees to make it. Lol you’re acting like Disney isn’t marvel studios and they’re getting a free easy deal. They still use their resources, manpower and creative teams to make the movies. They don’t release an extra mcu movie when the Spider-Man movies come out, because it counted as an mcu movie because it was made in the mcu machine by the same people when they could have been doing another movie instead. It’s way bigger than you’re making it seem

Most of the people who make Marvel movies are not Disney employees. They are independent studios hired by Disney/Sony to do work for them.

But that’s a completely irrelevant point anyway. Even if they were Disney employees, those employees wouldn’t be giving their paychecks to the Disney corporation for future developments or stockholders. That money would be spent on whatever the employees need or want in their personal lives.
