蜘蛛侠这个IP从索尼和迪士尼谈崩开始,漫威迷纷纷感到震惊,并且大家开始担心在以后的漫威中就看不到荷兰弟饰演的小蜘蛛了。
Spiderman的
版权争执
问题,还得从1995年濒临破产的漫威卖掉版权开始说起。蜘蛛侠这个角色的版权在当时就卖给了索尼影业,这也是后来漫威影业成立并且被迪士尼收购之后会一直想要
坚持索尼归还“蜘蛛侠”
这一版权的原始争端。此次谈崩了的合作,就是不久前上映的
Spiderman: Far From Home 票房利润分成问题导致的。
2011年迪士尼就从索尼手里买回了蜘蛛侠
周边产品
的版权,按照2015年达成的现行协议,在《英雄归来》和《英雄远征》两部蜘蛛侠独立电影中,索尼的票房分帐比例是95%,而漫威只有5%以及周边产品的利润。而在《美队3》《复联3》《复联4》等这些小蜘蛛作为客串的漫威主场,票房收益理所当然归漫威所有。此次迪士尼作为漫威影业的母公司,当然对5%不满意,提出更高的分成,导致谈判崩溃。
众多知名媒体包括CNN, ABC News, Forbes, BBC在内,都纷纷给出了自己的看法:
I don't know what a third Tom Holland Spider-Man movie will look like outside the MCU, in terms of its
content
and its
commercial reception
.
我不知道由荷兰弟饰演的独立于漫威之外的蜘蛛侠电影会是什么样,不管从内容上来说还是商业价值期待上来说。

It seems possible Sony could still make
