Nope its Sony, but part of the deal to allow Marvel characters like Iron Man to appear as in the first one. And for Spidey to appear in the last several Avengers films.
You have it backwards. It was to allow Marvel to use SM and certain SM related characters in the MCU movies.
And it was for 6 films.
Civil War, Homecoming, Infinity War, Endgame and Far From Home are 5, which means there's at least 1 more. I'm pretty sure they planned on SM getting his own MCU trilogy assuming his first solo movie did well, which it did, and FFH will mostly likely do great as well.
My main concern is Sony’s executives hopefully doesn’t get any big heads after how Homecoming and their own Venom film performed and refuse any talks when a new deal eventually has to be renegotiated following Far From Home (and whatever cameo or other movie he would appear).
(Knowing their past, they’d presumably be under the impression that they could tie-in Spider-Man - with another new actor and another reboot - just as well on their own with their...I guess it’s a “villains-verse”?)
