Everybody's favorite wall-crawler if officially back in the MCU. And with today's announcement came a hint at some possibly big surprises to come.
It seemed inevitable because it was. Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures announced this morning that Spider-Man will return to the MCU, after the studios reached a new deal to continue their partnership. Fans and investors around the world will rejoice at the news, as it ensures billion dollar business for the wall-crawler for years to come.
Feige made an interesting remark during today’s announcement, and it’s hard to say whether it’s a throw-away line or a hint at something more substantive to come. When commenting on his pleasure at reaching a new deal with Sony, Feige said, “[A]s Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
My guess is, part of making the new deal happen included Marvel’s involvement in Sony’s spinoffs, and some plan to allow the MCU version of Spider-Man to cross over into those spinoffs – or for spinoff characters to appear in the solo Spidey releases.an idea I previously suggested back in June Down the road, such a separate second Spider-Man and his collection of shared-world spinoff characters could appear in a crossover event alongside the MCU Peter Parker version of the character, and perhaps some other MCU heroes as well. A multiverse setup of this sort would pay off huge – imagine a story starting in the Peter Parker MCU Spider-Man movies, continuing in a Miles Morales Spider-Man movie, and then culminating in a big crossover Avengers event with various multiverse characters.
