A Sony win over Disney would also be notable because Spider-Man is one of the few Marvel characters Disney does not fully control. Disney owns Marvel Studios and is in the process of buying X-Men studio 20th Century Fox, turning Spider-Man and related characters into outliers in the superhero universe. Notably, Disney’s Marvel produced the most recent live action “Spider-Man” movie, starring Tom Holland, which was released by Sony in a rare collaboration of rival studios.
