Can you post those leaked documents here? I’m quite curious to see them.
Aww dude, that was when wikileaks came out and I might be off with those numbers. A simple google search should suffice. That was when I read the actual 2004 and 2011 amended contracts as well. I posted a thread here on those contracts that you can read if you search threads started by me.
Be aware that Amy Pascal is dyslexic and reading her emails is like reading a google translated document from 5 years ago.
Maybe someone could clarify but I'm sure I remember reading some where that Sony and Marvel would sit down again in 2020 to discuss Marvel getting the rights back or something about Marvel getting the rights back in 2020.
The deal either expires at the end of FFH or another Spidey standalone movie after that. Circa 2016 Feige said it was 5 movies and Holland said it was 6. I believe Feige more than Holland. It could simply be that Holland is contracted by Marvel with a non compete for 6 movies, but the Marvel - Sony deal is for 5 movie. That's an easy, legal way to keep Sony from being shady and taking Holland to their universe as a different character (as Spider-man Holland is probably off limits). This is something the UFC is famous for doing to keep fighters from going to competing organizations.
If Feige was correct and the deal was for 5 movies then Disney and Sony will have to sit down and reach a deal in 2019.
