In order to bring the dazzling heroines and heroes of Marvel Comics (including Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America and Black Widow, but not Batman and Superman) to the big screen, appropriate licenses are required. They were partial long before Disney bought Marvel, sold to other film studios and media companies. Who belongs to whom?
The Original Avengers remained at Marvel Studios, which in turn are part of the Disney Group. The X-Men with Wolverine and Deadpool, however, ended up at 20th Century Fox, as did this legendary superhero group. Disney also owns this film studio sold under the nail (for an insane amount of money) These heroines and heroes will now also be included in the MCU. However, things are completely different Spider-Man out of.

Spider-Man's film and video game rights have been owned by Sony for over 20 years. The PlayStation manufacturer cleverly uses the rights to Exclusive title for PS4 and PS5 to be brought onto the market and with Spider-Man in the cinema Billionaire successes to celebrate. But wait, Tom Holland's net swinger is still part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How can that be?
Is Spider-Man part of the MCU?
Due to a deal and special collaboration between Marvel and Sony, managed to integrate the current Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This was apparently important to Disney, as the friendly neighborhood spider was one of them most popular superheroes ever heard. While Tom Holland was enjoying huge success as Spider-Man in the MCU, Sony came up with a particularly clever idea.
With Venom was the first solo film in 2018 of a Spider-Man opponent in the cinemas – completely independent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man himself does not appear actively in the film, but the film was still a huge success. The so-called Sony's Spider-Man Universe was born. But then things went steadily downhill, to the point of a complete catastrophe.

And with Madame Webb, the SSU's latest Marvel film turned out to be an absolute fiakso. No superhero film before has been so unsuccessful. The biggest Marvel flop of all time was born. But it could get even worse.
When is the next Marvel film coming to cinemas?
The MCU's next potential blockbuster will be released on July 25, 2024. It's Deadpool & Wolverine. However, Sony's upcoming Marvel film has been postponed. Once again. Originally should Kraven the Hunter coming to cinemas in 2013. Now it looks more like Christmas 2024.

You don't have to be a clairvoyant to predict that Kraven the Hunter will most likely also be a huge flop will be. A relatively unknown opponent of Spider-Man gets a solo film, which ended in a fiasco. Apparently it has the new Marvel film big problems. However, perhaps there is something completely different behind the shift.
At this point it becomes purely speculative: The Kraven the Hunter stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The 33-year-old Brit is reportedly the big favorite to succeed Daniel Craig as James Bond 007. Sony could speculate that the role assignment will be officially announced in the next few months. A new Marvel film with the new James Bond in the lead role makes you curious. So a miracle could still happen and Kraven the Hunter from December 12, 2024 be a huge success at the box office.
