Learning the wrong lesson from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s success, Sony decided to go absolutely ham with their cinematic hold on Spider-Man. To rewind, this all stems back from the time in-between Marvel’s Avengers doing crazy good box office and Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 doing mediocre box office.
