Rumored: Marvel Studios and Sony Have Reached a New ‘Spider-Man’ Deal. Marvel Fans have been waiting to hear about the fate of one of the most iconic Marvel Superheroes, Spider-Man. For a time, it appeared negotiations had gone sour between Disney and Sony regarding the use of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and it was feared that we had seen the last of the web slinging hero after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

It seems we will hear about an update soon that is bound to make Marvel fans very happy, at least according to Marvel insider, Roger Wardell, who shared the news via Twitter stating, “Disney understands the money-making powers of Spider-Man while Sony is aware of being completely unable to compete with the Mouse at the moment. New agreement should please many Marvel fans.”

“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it,” shared Marvel Studios CCO Kevin Feige. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”

The final installment in the Spider-Man Trilogy is currently set to swing into theaters July 16, 2021, but the films release may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Company for all things Marvel!

Universal Orlando Resort Shares Safety Video for Guests Ahead of Reopening

Universal Orlando Resort will reopen to the public this Friday, June 5th.

Universal Orlando

When the Resort presented its proposed plans for reopening to Florida’s Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force, one of the measures they mentioned was pre-arrival communications for guests coming to Universal Orlando so they could be well-prepared for what to expect (and protocols they would be asked to follow) during their visit.

To that end, Universal Resort Orlando has shared the following video on their website and YouTube channel. Protocols shared in the video include temperature screening, the required wearing of face coverings, signage that guests can expect to see, the use of virtual lines to experience select attractions, and more.

As mentioned, Universal Orlando Resort will begin its reopening to the general public this Friday. Walt Disney World Resort will begin its phased opening on July 11th when Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopen to guests, followed by EPCOT and Hollywood Studios on July 15th. To learn more about Walt Disney World’s phased reopening, you can visit any of the links below.

What do you think of the pre-arrival communications for theme parks? Please let us know with a comment!
