Sony let Disney use Spider-man, cause they needed the boost to make the reboot. This is the third reboot of the character, and they were worried about the Clooney effect. Disney let Robert Downey appear in the Sony movie, and use the storyline from the original Avengers movie. It strengthens both franchises for Spider-man to be in the same "world" as the rest of the franchise characters.
Haven't seen the new one. Who's the villain? Please tell me it's not the Green Goblin again.
Don't forget Jon Favreau. He played Happy Hogan, and was also the director of Ironman, and the producer of all the Avengers movies...
Must be loaded $$$!
It’s not Green Goblin.
It was done very well, I’ll say that much.
