Marvel Studios is able to use the character in his own films, 5% of the income from both solo albums of Spider-Man Tom Holland and money from merchandise sales. Sony is acceptable, but Disney, inspired by the success of "Away from home", wanted to share with the Sony expenses and income from the following films 50/50. Sony representatives declined instantly.
