With Sony in talks about buying WB, it would make sense that they don't need spidey anymore.
Mmmmm IDK about that. I think your underestimating how popular Spider-Man is. I know that as far as merchandise goes (T-shirts, toys, etc.) Spider-Man out sells Superman and Batman combined, by a lot.
Marvel does own merch rights. But Spider-Man movies are always profitable. Even Amazing Spider-Man 2 was. It's free money.
However the spin-offs, outside of Venom, have been break-even at best.
Sony can't make Spider-Man movies.
Batman by himself is the fifth most profitable merch IP in the world. Spider-Man isn't even in the top ten. Idk where you got your info from.
"Sony can't make Spider-Man movies."
What do you mean?
"Idk where you got your info from."
The Licensing Letter listed Marvel’s Spider-Man global retail sales at $1.3 billion and Avengers at $325 million in 2013, compared with DC’s Batman at $494 million and Superman at $277 million.
You haven't noticed sony hasn't made a Spider-Man movie in over a decade?

Can't tell if ignorant, or playing dumb...
I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say here champ lol. SONY made "Across the spider verse" in 2023 and also produced and distributed "No Way Home" in 2021. Can you explain it to me please?
Sony can't make live action Spiderman movies due to their contract with Disney/Marvel. They can make Spider-Man adjacent movies, like Morbius and Venom, but they can't have Spider-Man himself.
Pretty surprised you don't know that. Unless you've only just now looked any of this up for this conversation.
SONY funds, produces, distributes and collects 95% of the profit from all of the solo Tom Holland movies. While Marvel has total creative control over what actually happens in those movies. SONY decided to allow that situation to happen because it's mutually beneficial to both companies. That contract ended after "No Way Home" and SONY had the option to make as many live action Spider-Man movies as they liked but, decided to extend their agreement with Marvel.
Initially you didn't specify "live action" so the "spider-verse" movies where a legit answer 🤷🏻 lol. The way you worded it saying that SONY "can't" was a bit confusing/misleading though. I kind of get what your saying but also disagree because of the reasons mentioned above.
Cool story bro
