With properties like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more, many of the most successful movies at the box office have been Disney movies. Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home has been doing incredibly well at the box office, and the movie just broke a major record that was previously held by another Disney property.
Who doesn’t seem to love the Marvel Cinematic Universe nowadays?

We’ve spent over a decade falling in love with the Avengers and now they’re coming to life in their very own theme park land in Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. But, could an Avengers Campus ever come to Disney World? Well, it’s not as straightforward as you might think. Read on!

Things have been a little complicated for this superhero! Both Disney/Marvel AND Sony are currently making Spider-Man films, and the theme park rights are a whole different story…needless to say, it’s kind of a mess. But are things finally getting a little simpler?
The rights to Marvel superheroes are kind of a confusing situation. Disney has the rights to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not totally. Universal has the theme park rights to the Marvel comic characters in Orlando and a deal with Disney not to produce any Marvel theme park content too close to their parks. Sony still has some of the rights to Spider-Man. Is your head hurting yet?

Sony and Disney have struck a deal for the past few films that allows Disney to make Spider-Man movies — which is how we got Peter Parker in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies like Avengers:Endgame. Then, in 2019, the dealings fell apart. It looked like Disney and Sony weren’t going to reach an agreement and that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man would be removed from the MCU. Until, suddenly, they DID make an agreement. Alright, alright, we’ll back up. How did we get here and what does it even all mean??
