It would fit in with the way things are going with the movies, the Amazing Spider-Man franchise should be done by 2018 with him being free to be used in Avengers 3.

I can picture it, Sony being all like: "Oh, yeah, we finished up the planned quadrology by now, so we'll just give you back this multi-billion IP now, because we're such good guys :)"

Depends on how their contract is set up...Marvel was going to do it with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch with them possibly being used in both the X-Men franchise and the Avengers franchise.
Edguy:
Yeah, but the thing with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver is that they're both heavily connected to the X-Men and The Avengers. Thus the contract they worked out goes such that Fox can use them, but not make any mention their of affiliation with The Avengers, while Marvel can use them, but not make any mention of their mutant background, their connection to the X-Men, or Magneto (their father).
Thaid said, it's obviously not impossible that Marvel/Disney and Sony could make a deal to do a crossover, or possibly even merge their franchises; it would most likely be very profitable. I just don't think it's remotely likely. Even though there's profit in it for them both, I can't imagine they could ever negotiate a deal that both parties would be happy about. Besides, to make things fit together, they'd might have to reboot or retcon Spider-Man again, and that wouldn't be very popular or smart.. :laugh:

There is something else that I found out searching into the Marvel/Sony contract- Sony is in trouble financially. They could be forced to renegotiate their contract with Disney/Marvel for the rights to Spider-Man allowing him to join into the movie universe, and still retain their rights to him. There is also the possibility that they might be forced to simply end the contract, severing ties after the current deal ends after the planned fourth movie in 2018, which would mean the rights would revert to Marvel/Disney and allowing him to be used in the third Avengers movie.
Edguy:
I haven't looked much into the financhial details, but if something like that were to happen, that would be awesome! How would they handle it though? Would they reboot the character all again? And with that, they'd probably need an own film dedicated to his origin story, considering how major a character he is, and the fact that he's so yound and his origin is a big part of his identity. They could focus and Avengers movie around him, but I don't see that happening. 2018+ is a long time from now, but a third itteration of the same character could be very confusing and off-putting for the general audience. Or they could use the same character? That would cause a lot of continuity problems though, as well as the fact that Andrew Garfield will be the late 30s by then. Not to mention legal problems of using Sony's franchise etc.
Conclusion; I see a lot of problems integrating the web-slinger into the MCU.. :-\

So I just saw Thor 2. I enjoyed it.
(click to show/hide)So did anyone actually believe Loki was dead? Also, how'd he get back to Asgard? And is Odin dead?
