Spider-Man in film dates back to 1977, his rights belonging to Marvel until 1999, when Sony bought them for $7 million. He has been Marvel's most successful character in the cinema industry ever since.

Meanwhile, Sony in association with Marvel launched a new superhero universe, leading Sony to get in 2022 the biggest deal ever for streaming rights: a $3 billion streaming license to Netflix and Disney platforms.
