If it's "on paper," then they do have control. And Hollywood shot callers rarely like to defer if it's their profit at stake (since I assume Sony maintains the lion's share of Spidey profits, otherwise Marvel wouldn't be cool with them having control). So the first time Marvel advises Sony to do something, and Sony isn't down... what happens?

It's very possible Marvel just wants Spidey for an one-off appearance, maybe two, and then they're cool with Sony moving on with him. Lord knows Marvel isn't going to invest a ton of resources into "saving" Spider-Man if Sony maintains controls and the majority of profit.

I really want to see the goddamn contracts of this thing. There are worlds of fascinating information in there that would reveal motivations and plans for both companies.
