It is a— I don’t know exactly what the credits will be, but it is a Sony Pictures production of a Marvel Studios film. The agreement was that it is very much a Sony Pictures movie. Amy Pascal is co-producing it with us and [Sony Chairman] Tom Rothman is leading the charge for Sony and that we are the creative producers. We are the ones hiring the actor, introducing him in this film, and then working right now on the script and soon to be shooting the actual Spidey film." src | |

He does have loved-ones and they are targeted by bad-guys and Spidey does have a really hard time protecting them. Lots of other "Power'd Folk" either don't have anyone (Cap), or everyone they love is already involved (Coulson), or they're really good at protecting them (Tony Stark), or they don't care... they just keep the moniker because it's awesome (Deadpool). | |

| May 6, 2016 at 11:08 | comment | added | phantom42 | In the MCU, the US started going down an SRA type-route with the ATCU, trying to register all of the Inhumans, and before that SHIELD with their Index. It's also worth noting that for many people, the SRA wasn't about identities at all, it was about regulation of powers and who was allowed to use them. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 9:46 | comment | added | Stormie | The most likely reason that they didn't go with the SRA for the MCU is because there just aren't enough "superhumans" yet! The movies seem to be ignoring the mass outbreak of Inhumans afterall.. | |
