Do they have the rights to have Spider-Man in that universe this time?
Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man, full stop. They lent Spidey to the MCU for a cut.
In order to maintain the film rights, they have to make a spider man film every so often (2 years?) or the rights lapse and they loose them.
Thus. Reboots. And Morbius. Etc...
*5 years and 9 months, to be exact.
Now, if only there was a way to keep them from making a new fucking batman movie every 90 mins or so...
