This petition is titled “Spider-Man in Avengers sequel” but with petition I’d like to adres this whole copyrights problem as a whole. As the people who saw The Avengers know a great part of the movie takes place in Manhattan, New York and as we all know that’s Spidey’s neighborhood but due copyrights he can’t make a cameo appearance. This is directly from IMDB “From now on, all Marvel Studios movies are part of the same universe, one of the many parallel universes in the Marvel Multiverse. This continuity begins with Iron Man and continues with every future Marvel movie except for those that have already been made and owned by other studios such as the Spider-Man trilogy (Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007)) (whose movie rights belong to Columbia Pictures/Sony), Daredevil (2003), Elektra (2005), the X-Men films and the Fantastic Four duology (whose movie rights belong to 20th Century Fox), The Hulk (whose movie rights belong to Universal Pictures), and a few others that have come out over the last several years. The movie rights to Iron Man, The Avengers, Thor, Nick Fury, Captain America, and others all belong to Marvel Studios. Because of this, continuity is possible. When a deal with Paramount Pictures was made in 2007, Paramount released the Marvel Studios films Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in 2008, plus "\Iron Man 2 in 2010, and Thor and Captain America both in 2011. Because of The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Marvel in 2010, the Walt Disney Pictures label will now further release the Marvel Studios films The Avengers and take over worldwide distribution for Iron Man 3 in 2013.” If you read between the lines you can say that we are lucky we’ve even gotten a Avengers movie with all the rights so cut up to so much different studio’s. Sign this petition if you want Disney/Marvel to own the rights to all the movies and thus all the heroes making several cameo’s and even cross-over movies a possibility.
