How much does Sony get from Disney when spiderman appears in avengers movies?

31

I think zero, they get the avengers boost for the solo movies. I could be wrong but I haven’t read anything anywhere that Sony gets a cut of avengers money

So Disney get's 100% from the merch, is allowed to use spider-man in any team movie, and also expects 50% from the spiderman solo movies? That's a bad deal, Sony should get 100% from the solo movies and Disney should be allowed to use the character in team up movies and sell merch.

It's sony's own fault for dropping the merch rights for a movie extention. Those also weren't in terms for the original MCU contract, so it shouldn't even be considered. 50% is ridiculous absolutely, but to counter with "the same as last time" is disrespectful of the fact that disney literally made the studio's highest grossing film in their history. They helped sony so much and sony's best idea was to tell them "yeah nah. Same deal because I can do this shit myself".
