But then immediately after that, news broke that Spider-man would be pulled from the <acronym title=\"Marvel Cinematic Universe\">MCU<\/acronym> and suddenly everybody started talking about that and forgot about the SEC investigation. Gee, what a \u201ccoincidence\u201d with the timing. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the Spider-man news broke, more information came out (from Sony), saying that the reason Spider-man was pulled from the MCU was because Disney asked for too much from future movies. They were previously getting 5%, but now wanted 50%, so Sony had no choice but to say no.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty obvious what&#8217;s going on. Disney purposely over-asked on Spider-man to force Sony&#8217;s hand and make them say no so that they would have to pull Spider-man from the MCU and make a big mess with that so that everybody focuses on and talks about the Spider-man debacle instead of the SEC investigation into their crimes. And it&#8217;s working. \ud83e\udd26 The Spider-man news broke the same day as the SEC investigation and everybody switched to that.<\/p>\n<p>This was clearly just a decoy to deflect attention from their crimes and keep Disney&#8217;s \u201cfamily-friendly\u201d image. \u00ac_\u00ac As soon as the SEC investigation is over, Disney will re-negotiate a real deal with Sony (or just drop the ask altogether, though considering how much Disney cares about money more than anything else in the world, they&#8217;ll probably use this opportunity to try to squeeze more out of Sony and up the ask anyway). Then, Spider-man will be back in the MCU in time for the next movie.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, this all worked out perfectly for Disney because the SEC began their investigation just after the last Spider-man movie came out, so it will still be a while before there will be another one, so Disney won&#8217;t lose much\/any time with this fake news.
