The contractual restraints with SONY's cinematic, stand alone ownership of Spiderman have been resolved and he will now be included in multi-Marvel superhero movies. (The report I saw on the business news today said this was due to the "failure" of the last Spiderman movie starring Andrew Garfield. It didn't meet financial expectations and SONY saw the benefit of including the character in with the rest of the Marvel universe.)

Spider-Man joins Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sony agrees to super deal
Is your Spider-Sense tingling? Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige says the deal, which will reintroduce the popular super hero in an upcoming Marvel movie, possibly next year's 'Captain America: Civil War,' is 'something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years.'
Marvel Studios has finally snared Spider-Man in its web.
The studio announced late Monday that it reached a deal with Sony to debut a rebooted version of the wall-crawling superhero in one of its movies, sharing the same cinematic universe as the likes of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America.
That movie is expected to be next year's "Captain America: Civil War," a source told the Wall Street Journal.
It’s a huge win for both Marvel and comic book nerds: Spider-Man, of course, is the flagship hero of the company’s comics division, but had been licensed to Sony before Marvel had established its own studio. The publisher’s popular X-Men franchise, however, remains in 20th Century Fox’s clutches.

Oh yeah -- I like the fact that Andrew Garfield will not (probably) reprise the role of Spidey. He never sat right with me to be honest.
