Those glasses are a yes. Welcome Mr. PETER PARKER to the #SpiderManFarFromHome world premiere! ???
CelebNMovies247.com is hearing that an investor analyst filled in Yahoo Finance that they think “a big acquisition is on the horizon” for Apple and listed the following companies with mention of Sony.
According to the Yahoo Finance investor analyst, this is what he believes [via Cosmic Book News]:
On his list of acquisitions (in order); A24 Studio, Lionsgate, Viacom/CBS [CBS], Sony Pictures, MGM Studios, Netflix, and then a potential gaming publisher (that could be incorporated into Apple’s streaming service or a separate gaming subscription service) as a wild card.
Regarding Spider-Man returning to Marvel if Apple buys Sony, it has been reported that if Sony ever gets sold, the Spider-Man and related characters (Venom, Carnage, etc.) rights revert back to Disney and Marvel.
Sony Pictures chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra has stated Sony is not going to be sold, but obviously that could change, especially if Apple offers an amount Sony can’t refuse, which would be to bolster the new Apple TV Plus streaming service.
Presently, Spider-Man is back at Sony as new contract negotiations haven’t worked out with Marvel. Reportedly, Sony wanted to keep the existing deal which would see Spider-Man remain in the MCU, but Disney gets only a small amount of the box office. Disney is said to have turned that down and wanted a 50/50 split, but Sony is said to have scoffed at that offer.
Moreover, if Apple does buy Sony, Marvel won’t have to pay Sony a dime and will get Spider-Man back in the MCU for good.
What do you think about all of that?
Would you want Spider-Man swinging back into action with Marvel and the rest of the surviving Avengers?
It almost seems a perfect marriage now that Spider-Man is back with Sony and not with Marvel, but he is a good addative to the MCU.
For now we will see how it all plays out.
