Sony as a company were in shambles top to bottom.Ok do away with the opinions of internet posters. Why do you think Sony decided to give do a deal with the MCU if they were so satisfied with their 700million dollar films?
Between the hack and every division hemorrhaging money they needed a win and some good PR.
Teaming up with marvel gave them that.
That said,it frustrates me because I liked the asm films and by this point we would have had asm 3,venom and sinister six films under their original schedule.
