Seriously, what the hell? A movie featuring the Avengers with a full comic-book roster and the X-Men all on one screen and fighting a big bad is something that people would pay money to see. What kind of reasoning is there for not trying to come to an agreement about this when it's quite probable that a movie like that would make millions, if not BILLIONS, of dollars?

I'd argue that yes we as fans of the comics, or even those with a slightly wider knowledge of marvel history want these films, the mass public probably couldn't care less...

Most people don't even know that Disney own marvel or that certain studios own certain bits still. Heck most casual fans will probably stick Batman in the same house. So whilst there's a large number of comic fans, from casual to die hard, that do want it, there's a far larger number that it wouldn't make or break the films for. Sony, for example, then can keep churning out Spideys to cash in. Why make a simple 10 million (just figuratively, I know it'd be a lot more if/when they do) selling them back,when you can churn out 3+ films that can easily make over that on their own?

On the other hand a full buy back isn't necessary, but how do you begin to put a price on loaning out a character? If Sony know people want an Avengers with Spidey in it then they're gonna keep raising the price, and let's face it both companies care about the money the most at the end of the day.

Sucks, I'd love to see Spider-man having a bit of banter with the rest of the Avengers cast, but oh well =\
