I want to clear up a popular misconception.
Disney is in no way, shape or form controlling, dictating or influencing Mark Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man" movie.
The movie was planned 8 months, if not more, before Disney even made an offer to Marvel. In fact, their merger was only made final A MONTH AFTER Amazing Spider-Man started principle photography.
AND considering the fact that since Marvel licensed the Spider-Man film rights to Sony, who even moreso than the Director has final say on the film, the only way Disney could ever have ANY tangible say on the matter is if they renegotiated the contracted Marvel originally signed with Sony.
I know that for a fact, because that's exactly what Disney had to do to even get the Distribution Rights back for the upcoming Avengers, Iron Man 3 and future films back from Paramount.
And why did Paramount have those rights? BECAUSE MARVEL GAVE IT TO THEM VIA THEIR CONTRACT.
Which, I might add, was something that made all the headlines when it happened.
So there is no way on God's Green Earth that Disney could get any that power back from Sony without renegotiating the original Marvel/Sony contract, negotiating a new one nor without a media blitz over it.
So if you feel like this new Spider-Man won't be up to snuff or you don't like it when it comes out...
For the love of God, blame the right people! Which, in this case, is Sony and/or Marc Webb.
Jeez, is it that hard to understand?!?
