I know that General it is not what I was referring to though. I was referring to the false allegation that Disney wanted 50% of the revenue from Sony when it was actually a 50% co-finance deal.
Even that claim seems a bit eroneous now.

If you look at the discussions online about the Spider-Man situation, one thing that still dominates the online outrage is the narrative that “Greedy Disney” ruined it by demanding 50% of the profits from Spider-Man, which in itself is not even what the original report said.
The original report claimed they wanted a 50/50 co-financing deal where they would put up half of the money for the movies (as opposed to nothing right now), but that report also looks to be incorrect based on new information that came out yesterday.
oh I thought you meant they were putting in half the money to make the first two films and were pretty much not getting anything back from it apart from the merchandising rights. Agreeing a 50/50 co-financing deal is nothing because $125m to Disney is pocket change in exchange for a guaranteed $500m return. It is like me spending £10 on lottery tickets knowing I am going to win and get £6m back.
I hope the public pressure makes them sort this out and come to a compromise. I know they have now got the x-men to play with and loads of new characters coming in as well but everyone loves Tom Holland's Spiderman and a Sony made film just won't be the same.
This means the next Spiderman will not be made by Marvel which also means:
No Spiderman in Avengers
No Avengers in Spiderman or any other Marvel character

Fans holding out hope that Spider-Man might be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be disappointed to hear that “for the moment the door is closed,” according to Sony Pictures chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra...
...Vinciquerra insisted that there is “no ill will” between Sony and Marvel, after the two failed to reach on agreement on financing terms for upcoming Spider-Man movies, effectively removing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man from the Marvel fold in terms of both future standalone and team-up features. However, he also did acknowledge the fan backlash to the news, saying that it has been “an interesting couple of weeks” for the studio.
