King Phelous

Disney did not lose Spider-Man rights. They ended a partnership. They only had a deal for certain aspects, not the film rights. The film rights have belonged solely to Sony for a very long time now. Sony and Disney just couldn't reach a new temporary deal for continued partnership. They own general characters rights through the Marvel company, like standard merchandising, image use and comic usage, but they have never owned the film rights because of the different movie deals Marvel made a long time ago with various film companies.
