10 Ways To Introduce Spider-Man To The Marvel Cinematic Universe

With all the rumours about Sony and Marvel, how could this work?

There is absolutely no doubt that the biggest and most popular ongoing comic book movie franchise is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Other current franchises include the DC Cinematic Universe, the X-Men and The Amazing Spider-Man, but the Marvel Studios saga tops them all in terms of popularity, financial success and sheer number of movies. One of the most disappointing parts about the MCU is that certain characters currently can't be included due to the fact that they are tied up in a couple of the aforementioned franchises. Wolverine, for example, is a key member of the Avengers in the comics and it would be cool to see him alongside Thor and Hulk, but the most notable absentee is definitely Spider-Man. The Amazing Spider-Man movies have been distributed by Sony Pictures and, as a result, the ownership to movie rights of one of Marvel's flagship characters lies away from their flagship movie franchise. It would be awesome to see the web-slinger doing his stuff on screen alongside the Avengers he so often works with in the comic books and there are rumours that talks have been taking place between Sony and Marvel to make that a realistic possibility. The Civil War storyline seems like the ideal time to bring Spider-Man in, but, regardless of when and where he first appeared, it would be cool for the fans to have him join the fold. But how would they do it? The two universes have totally ignored each other's existence up to this point, so how could it possibly work? Well let's take a look at a few options Marvel Studios would have. Here are ten ways to introduce Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
