Sony 'disappointed' that Marvel partnership on 'Spider-Man' is over

Sony Pictures and Disney's Marvel Studios will no longer be working together on the most recent live-action Spider-Man film series starring Tom Holland, with Sony releasing a statement on the matter.

Sony, who own the rights to Spider-Man on film, collaborated with Marvel on the Tom Holland series which includes 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home which hit theaters in July.

The partnership allowed Holland's Spider-Man to be a part of the Marvel cinematic universe and appear in other films such as 2016's Captain America: Civil War where Holland was first introduced, 2018's Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame which was released in April.

Deadline reported on Tuesday that Disney and Sony were unable to reach a new agreement with Disney wanting a co-financing stake. This has led to Marvel Studios no longer being involved with the Spider-Man series alongside Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige who acted as a lead producer on Homecoming and Far From Home.

"Much of today's news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige's involvement in the franchise," a Sony spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

"We are disappointed, but respect Disney's decision not to have him continue as lead producer of our next live-action Spider-Man film," the statement continued.

"We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him- - including all the newly added Marvel properties- - do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own. Kevin is terrific and we are grateful for his help and guidance and appreciate the path he has helped put us on, which we will continue."

News about Sony and Marvel's split came after Sony announced that Far From Home will be re-released in theaters in for time for Labor Day with 4 minutes of new footage.

Far From Home has become Sony's highest-grossing film ever, earning $1.109 billion worldwide. It surpassed Sony's previous record-holder, the James Bond film Skyfall, which earned $1.108 billion.

"You know, I think the 40s are the best decade. You just get to be real with yourself, and you can also make necessary changes because you have the experience of looking back on four decades. Looking at patterns and seeing what things really work. You get to let go of giving a s- about anything. You're done! Don't care. I really don't. It's such a relief."

Larry King files for divorce from 7th wife, Shawn

Larry King and his wife, Shawn King, are headed for divorce.

CNN confirmed Wednesday that King, 85, filed for divorce from Shawn King Tuesday in Los Angeles after nearly 22 years of marriage.

King and Shawn King married in September 1997. King listed their date of separation as June 6 and cited irreconcilable differences for the split.

King previously filed for divorce in 2010 but ultimately reconciled with Shawn King. The pair are parents to two sons, 20-year-old Chance and 19-year-old Cannon.

Sources told People the split was "a long time coming."

"They fought and argued all the time," an insider said. "Shawn and Larry had essentially been separated for a decade. They sleep in separate bedrooms."

"Larry is no saint, but he was tired of all the drama," the source added. "The marriage has been over."

TMZ spoke to Shawn King June 7, the day after the official date of separation, and said she didn't mention the split. Sources said Shawn King was blindsided by the divorce.

King and Shawn King's split follows King's health issues in April. King underwent angioplasty and a stent procedure April 25 after experiencing angina, or chest pain.

King has been married eight times to seven women. He was married to Alene Akins twice.
