| 0:00.0 | Sop you beautiful bastards, hope you've been a fantastic Wednesday. |
| 0:03.1 | Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show, and let's just jump into it. |
| 0:06.3 | And the first thing we're going to talk about today is easily the most important story from the past 24 hours. |
| 0:10.9 | I say that both sarcastically, although the nerd part of my brain's like, no, but for real though. |
| 0:14.6 | Reportedly, Spider-Man will be leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is now fully in the hands of Sony. And this reportedly because the two powerhouses that are Disney and Sony could not strike a deal on their partnership for the |
| 0:24.6 | franchise. I don't feel so good. Now as far as how did all of this happen, it actually goes way |
| 0:28.7 | back to the 80s. Way back in the 80s, Marvel sold the film rights to their beloved Spider-Man, |
| 0:32.6 | and that was because back then, superhero movies really weren't the box office winners that they are today. And those rights bounced around for a while until Sony snatched them up in 1999. |
| 0:40.3 | And this allowed them to start Toby McGuire's trilogy back in 2002, which arguably changed the game for superhero movies and their popularity. |
| 0:46.3 | They then made the Andrew Garfield reboot in 2012. |
| 0:48.3 | And then in 2015, they reached a unique agreement with Marvel Studios that would allow them to share the character. |
| 0:52.3 | And how this worked was that Sony fully financed the films when Marvel served as more of a creative producer. |
| 0:57.0 | And in this deal, Marvel got the merchandising rights and 5% of first dollar gross, which is 5% of box office revenue on the first day of release. |
| 1:03.0 | With Sony then getting to cash in on the rest of the film's profit. |
| 1:06.0 | But the big thing here is that was on Spider-Man movies, and so Marvel also got the rights to integrate the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, |
| 1:11.6 | which is how we got Tom Holland's Spider-Man to debut in Captain America's Civil War in 2016, as well as his appearances in other Avengers movies and his standalone films like Homecoming and Far From Home. |
| 1:20.6 | But according to a deadline report yesterday, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feigy will now be out of the Spider-Man pictures, which was of course shocking, almost as shocking as me finding out that I've been pronouncing that guy's last name wrong |
| 1:30.8 | the entire time. And that's reportedly because Disney, which owns Marvel, was looking to change |
| 1:34.4 | the terms of their deal with Sony. Apparently, they were looking to strike up a 50-50 deal. |
| 1:38.3 | So essentially the report was Disney was like, we love the deal, but what if we, and let me just throw this out there, on our five, we just |
| 1:44.3 | added a zero to the end of it. Small change, not a big deal. Right, and for that small change, |
| 1:47.8 | the companies would equally split the financing and profits for the Spider-Man movies. But |
