- Sony and Disney will co-produce the next ‘Spider-Man’ movie
Sony Pictures and Walt Disney Co.’s Marvel division are patching up their relationship after a high-profile split rocked Hollywood.
The two companies have agreed to co-produce the next “Spider-Man” movie, ending a dispute that clouded the future of one of the industry’s biggest franchises. The compromise gives Disney a 25% share of the profit from the film, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The studio had been requesting as much as 50% previously, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the terms are private.
