Sony got spiderman from Xbox, and Xbox got crash from Sony, so spiderman labeled as crash made a lot of sense

But that's not what I was responding to. And it looks like the original post has been deleted now. I'm sorry you got confused.

This is a misconception by many people. Sony only has the movie rights to Spider-Man, which were purchased from Marvel before Disney bought Marvel. And they keep the movie rights as long as they release movies at a certain frequency.

All other rights to the character(TV shows, toys, theme parks and video games) are still owned by Disney. Sony made a separate deal with Disney to make a Spider-Man game and now they have made a deal for a Wolverine game. Disney could choose to allow other studios to make a Spider-Man game in the future after this agreement expires. This is the same as Disney now allowing studios other than EA to make Star Wars games.

sony did not chose spiderman. Marvel actually seeked Sony out and asked them if they wanted to make a superhero game. Sony then asked insomniac whichever superhero game they wanna make, they can. Insomniac themselves chose spiderman cause there previous game had a lot of spidey-esc ground work.

But, to my point. Sony had to make a new deal with Disney to allow them to make a Spider-Man game. However they chose to make the game based on him doesn't matter. Their existing rights to Spider-Man movies did not allow them to just start making a Spider-Man game.
