Essentially Rothman got the gig because Sony is hemorrhaging money and that's one thing he's sure to put a stop to.
Marvel would not have put themselves in a position for this man to damage their brand, however. So on that score I would not worry.
I would not expect much out of non-Marvel involved Spider-Man projects. I already expected Sinister Six and the other to get the kibosh, now I am certain of it.
Yup.
If Rothman tried something too stupid, Feige will simply walk away.
Disney/Marvel Studios are not the ones who desperately need a hit right now and are bleeding billions of of dollars for several years straight.
Rothman is indeed a pretty good bully, but you can't throw your weight around when you are not in a real position of power.
Rothman is in a strong position inside Sony yes, but he doesn't have any kind of status within Disney or Marvel Studios.
If he gets out of hat then Disney/Marvel Studios will walk, and then Rothman will have to deal with Japan.
