Disney/Marvel should buy back Spiderman film rights IN FULL from Sony

Sony are currently planning for Venom (Oct 2018) to be the start of their 'Sony Marvel Cinematic Universe' a rival universe to the MCU that will feature Spiderman related characters. After Venom Silver and Black is scheduled for a Feb 2019 release and Morbius the Living Vampire is also in the works. Other rumoured films in development for this universe include Nightwatch, Kraven, and Mysterio.

These characters belong ALONGSIDE Spiderman in the MCU. If Sony get their way they'll remove Spiderman from the MCU after Homecoming 2, in order to inject him (probably ANOTHER rebooted version rather than the Tom Holland version) into their own cinematic universe.

We don't need yet ANOTHER reboot to Spiderman. Tom Holland as Spiderman is excellent casting and Homecoming knocked it out of the park. Having Spiderman finally being able to interact with other MCU characters is a dream come true and Sony want to come along and mess that all up just to make a quick buck....... don't let them!

By signing this petition you are agreeing that Spiderman characters like Venom work much better when first introduced in a Spiderman film and are much more enjoyable when part of the MCU. Venom in particular as part of the MCU gives us infinite possibilities for who could become later hosts for the symbiote. Having Carnage in the MCU could also lead to adaptations of comics such as Maximum Carnage. There are just FAR more potentially interesting narratives that could be explored with Venom and other Spiderman characters being part of the MCU, as opposed to them being part of this new 'Sony Marvel CInematic Universe'.

Sony has tried to make their own spider centric universe TWICE already and failed miserably. The MCU is a well established fine oiled machine. An MCU film comes with a certain guarantee of quality. Compare that to Sony's track record with Spiderman related franchises and you'll see that their track record is awful.

Simply put Spiderman belongs in the MCU and us MCU fans do not want this 'Sony Marvel Cinematic Universe' which does nothing but attempt to ride the coatails of the actual MCU, potentially even damaging the brand if general audiences start to believe the two are connected (a lie that already Sony is trying very actively to spin people, calling the Venom movie an 'adjunct' to Homecoming).

This petition is meant as an indicator to Marvel/Disney of how much the fans support Spiderman in the MCU and want to see Spiderman STAY in the MCU without future Sony involvement!

It is also designed to show Disney/Marvel that whilst we do not wan't the Sony Venom film (Oct 2018)  to be part of the MCU, we do hope that if they can buy back the Spiderman rights in full from Sony that we could then eventually get Venom and Carnage both at sumpoint appearing in a Spiderman film first, with the potential for other spin offs/crossovers later down the line (again not to be connected at all with the Sony Venom (Oct 2018) film)!
