I suspect it's more of an ego thing for him at this point. He seems to like being a Hollywood player. Just the impression I get from him.
He would want to keep creative control of the franchise.
Hence the reason for my pessimism about Spidey going to the MCU.
Where does it say anything on a three or five year limit?
In other words rumors with no actual proof?I know there is a limit that they need to keep making the films by or they revert the rights. 3 years has been widely rumored for Spidey and the X-Men and that's what I'm going off of.
Hey, maybe in all these leaks there's an actual copy of what the contract Sony and Marvel signed actually says. I'd love to read that.
C'mon dude. Do you honestly believe Arad has all the creative control over the franchise? You make it sound like he's the mastermind of this thing.
Dude's not the Kingpin.
In other words rumors with no actual proof?
Based on what exactly?I don't think he has all the creative control, but he has a lot of it.
I doubt it.True but nobody doubts the "gotta make another movie by X or we'll lose the rights" business.
I doubt it.
I have proof that Disney traded all financial stake and control of the film franchise to Sony in exchange for the merchandising rights.So you think Sony owns the rights in perpetuity? Why even need to rush these movies out then. Let time heal the wounds.
I have proof that Disney traded all financial stake and control of the film franchise to Sony in exchange for the merchandising rights.
The proof didn't suggest there was a time limit of the deal.

Arad answers to be higher ups. He is a producer not a chairman.
Exactly, thank you. All this talk of him like he's the Kingpin is ridiculous.Arad answers to be higher ups. He is a producer not a chairman.
exactly
hopefully the executives in Japan make him stand trial for his wrongdoings, execute him samurai style, then sell to disney.
"Avi Arad, you have failed this franchise!" Slice
What do you think will be announced guys?
Predictions
Sinister Six Cast Revealed and some Plot
The 2017 film is Black Cat
Sony re-re-announce Webb as Director for ASM3 (he was confirmed to return at Comic-Con)
A Venom movie is given a release date but no casting
An actual event movie with Spider-Man fighting the Sinister Six in 2019
Some kind of Marvel co-operation
Tolmach and Arad are re-re-announced as Producers for these films (they were previously confirmed two months ago I think for Venom and S6).
The whole thing wont be very long like the James Bond announcment.
I like to think Marvel has a script ready to go for all their properties not currently in house and are just waiting on the rights to revert to start up production
After the summit people are either going to me mega excited or suicidal. It's Marvel or bust.

Bust! Bust! Bust!![]()
