The friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is set to exit the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after the talks between Sony Pictures and Disney fell through.
According to Deadline, the two studios were engaged in discussions to renew the deal that enabled the web slinger's appearance in the money-minting MCU.
Disney, which owns the Kevin Feige-led Marvel Studios, had demanded that it wanted to split future Spider-Man movies in a 50/50 co-financing arrangement, that also meant a 50/50 split in the profits.
After Sony declined to agree on the new terms, Disney removed Feige and Marvel as producers of the future projects.
In a statement, a Sony spokesperson said, "Much of today's news about Spider-Man has mischaracterised recent discussions about Kevin Feige's involvement in the franchise. We are disappointed, but respect Disney's decision not to have him continue as a lead producer of our next live action Spider-Man film."

Money should not dominate the process of creating music, says music producer Nucleya.
The 38-year-old EDM star, whose real name is Udyan Sagar, said even though he understands the business side of the entertainment industry, it is important to let the creative minds fly free.
"When somebody is investing crores in a movie they have to figure out a way to be able to make that money back. I understand that from an investor's perspective.
"But making music is a creative process, which means you have to leave it to creative people to come up with a good tune. This power should not be stripped away from them," Nucleya told PTI in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.
The artiste, known for his party tracks like "Bass Rani", "Laung Gawacha", "Jind Mahi" and "Mirza", believes at times musicians are pushed into following a trend which stops them from exploring new ideas.
"If one formula, like remixes, clicks then everybody jumps on that. They don't understand that overdoing it is going to kill ..

Producer Jason Blum has admitted "mistakes" were made while promoting "The Hunt", a film which was recently cancelled by Universal Pictures following a series of mass shootings in the US.
The satirical film, which features Betty Gilpin, Hillary Swank and Emma Roberts, revolves around "globalist elites" killing people for sport.
In an interview with Vulture, the producer said he and the rest of the filmmakers behind the project have reflected on how things progressed.
"I learned a lot of lessons. If I was offered the choice to make the movie again, I would say yes.  We definitely made marketing mistakes, and we made plenty of mistakes along the way. So I've learned a lot," Blum, who has backed "Get Out", "Halloween" and "Split", said.
"It might change how I would position movies and how I would consult on the marketing of the movies. But actually the making of the movies? No," he added.
Universal had cancelled the film's release after two recent mass shootings left a total of 31 people
