Watch Jeff Goldblum Find Out About the Broken Spider-Man Deal

D23 Expo kicked off in Anaheim yesterday, which means tons of big names in Disney are in attendance. One such celebrity is Jeff Goldblum, who is returning to the Disney fold for the new National Geographic series on Disney+ titled The World According to Jeff Goldblum. Like most of the people in attendance, Goldblum was asked about the recent newssurrounding Sony and Disney’s inability to reach an agreement over Spider-Man, resulting in Tom Holland’s probable removal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“No! This is the first I’ve heard of it. I’m crestfallen. Save… what’s happening? I didn’t know any of this,” Goldblum replied.

The interviewer goes on to explain the Sony and Disney split.

“I’m not a business person… whatever you say is Greek to me,” Goldblum adds. “But it’ll all work out, I’m sure. Good luck, they’ll figure it out.”

We hope you’re right, Mr. Goldblum!

According to the initial report from Deadline, the Disney/Sony standoff was over a reworking of the deal that would see Disney get a 50-50 co-financing stake in the upcoming Spider-Manmovies. The deal would have given Disney its stake in the franchise while also bringing Sony's extended universe of Spider-Man movies such as Venom into the MCU. Sony turned the offer down outright without so much as a counteroffer. The company preferred to keep the current arrangement intact, which sees Disney receiving an approximate 5% of each Spider-Man movie's first-dollar gross.

While many initially blamed Sony for the drama, some reports suggest Disney is the one who wanted to walk away.

Disney's official description for Goldblum's new series can be found below:

“Jeff pulls back the curtain on a seemingly familiar object to reveal a world of astonishing connections, fascinating science, and a whole lot of big ideas.”

The World According To Jeff Goldblum premieres on Disney+ on November 12th.

Why Spider-Man 3 might launch before Avengers 5 even if Sony and Disney strike a deal

Sony shocked MCU fans earlier this week when it confirmed the rumors that said the studio failed to extend its MCU deal with Disney. Sony, hoping it can make blockbuster Spider-Man movies on its own without the MCU, didn’t agree to Disney’s proposed terms for a future deal. As a result, Spider-Man is no longer a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s the kind of move that will affect both studios, especially if they don’t find a way to compromise. And it’s Sony that will have a more daunting task creating a successful MCU alternative around Spidey — Marvel can easily move forward with new Avengers adventures that don’t include Spider-Man. Now, it looks like Sony might be under pressure to make Spider-Man 3 and release it long before Avengers 5 hits theaters.

DON'T MISSHoly cow, Amazon still wants to give you free money!

As we learned a few weeks ago, there won’t be any Avengers, Spider-Man or Guardians sequels in MCU Phase 4. But we’ve already explained that Avengersis the kind of magic glue that holds the entire MCU together. Marvel can’t give that up, even though it just lost Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America — and Spider-Man too, if things stay the same. We then learned that Kevin Feige and Co. may be cooking up a massive Avengers vs. X-Men film that would be an amazing sequel to Infinity War and Endgame.

For that to happen, Marvel has to introduce the new Avengers replacements first, as well as the X-Men. And that will take some time to pull off. Avengers 5might not hit the MCU until Phase 6, which is at least five years away — that’s speculation for the time being, based on the current structure of Phase 4.

But unlike Sony, Marvel is not under any pressure to deliver sequels to its hottest franchises. And if there’s anything that we’ve learned in the past few years, that’s that Marvel can turn any superhero movie into a massive success without requiring the presence of a well-known hero like Spider-Man.

Sony, meanwhile, does feel the pressure of having to crank out new Spider-Man films — just look at the following chart showing the box office performance of Sony’s eight Spidey flicks that have been released over the past two decades:
