Spider-Man has been reunited with the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a financial stalemate between Disney and Sony was untangled this week, ending a month-long threat that the character would have to go on without his superhero friends.

Sony caused alarm among fans of Spider-Man when it walked away from the proposal by Disney/Marvel in August that would co-finance the third installment of the current Spider-Man series of films. After Disney originally offered to finance the film at a 25% stake, the company upped its demand in August to 50/50, a hike that Sony could not accept, much to the disappointment of fans across the globe.
