I must say I am not surprised by the dramatic reversal for Sony and Disney, which had previously failed to reach a deal over the character’s future in the MCU. There is too much money involved and too much talent on the Marvel side for Sony and Marvel not to work together again. The new deal was signed late on Thursday night.…
