The moment that every Marvel fan has been waiting for has finally arrived. Sony Pictures and Disney have just inked a deal that will allow Spider-Man (a Sony Pictures property) to play in the Marvel sandbox with fellow heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and more with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Hit the jump for more.

Joss Whedon has been a creative consultant on the MCU since 2012, but The Avengers director’s contract with Marvel Studios ends this year. While it may seem like his upcoming Avengers: Age Of Ultron will be a surefire hit, it doesn’t necessarily mean the filmmaker is ready to take on the film’s two-part sequel, Avengers: Infinity War.

In an interview with Empire, Whedon talked about “possibly” not doing the Avengers: Infinity War movies. Hit the jump to read his full quotes.

If you’ve heard one Spider-Man joining the Avengers rumor, you’ve probably heard them all. By now you’d think that many would have given up hope on the idea that Sony would let their popular superhero franchise character go or even share him with their rival studio, Marvel. We came pretty close to seeing that happen last month during the events of the Sony hack with e-mail leaks revealing that Sony was discussing sharing the character. It even went as far as rumors of Amazing Spider-Man star letting Andrew Garfield out of his contract to make room for a another reboot if Marvel reclaimed the rights. But in the weeks after it, news seemed to cool down, and there were no signs that Sony was going to let Spidey go.

However, big news, potentially great news if you are a fan of Spider-Man and Marvel Studios. A major scoop from Latino Review has it now that the webslinger will come to the Marvel fold, and be introduced in Avengers: Infinity War Part I. But that is only a tiny portion of the spoilers – which include the major events in Phase 3 that will have a huge impact on the Infinity War films – that follow after the jump.
