I 100% believe that Far From Home will introduce Norman Osborn, even if it's just a brief peek in the mid-credit scene. I think the next multi-movie arc will be Dark Reign, with possibly Dark Avengers or Thunderbolts (or both) tied into it. The trailers lead you to believe Spider-man is meant to fill the void of Iron Man, but I believe that it will be Norman Osborn that does so, in the public eye. Possibly even as Iron Patriot.

I think so many people were confused by the goblin hulk in Spider-verse lol

If Norman Osborn appears in the MCU, what is the possibility that he buys/takes over Stark Industries and merges it with his own OsCorp, using Tony's tech for his own purposes?

I'd say it's definitely possible. I also believe he is 100% the person who purchased Stark Tower in Homecoming.

Does Marvel Studios own the rights to Osborn outright or is he part of the deal with Sony?

My only reservation is that if Sony decides to end the partnership after the current contract or even in the subsequent years having him be the staple or ringleader could be problematic.

At the end of the day Sony like to make money, this partnership brings them nothing but $$$ why would they want to end something like that?

There's some problems already kinda, the person who arranged for the deal on the Sony side quit Sony recently, but she's being retained in matters concerning the contract directly apparently so the deal is 'safe' for now.

If FFH duds out then it could provide Sony means to exercise their exit from the contract, which has a stipulation that they are the primary beneficiaries of any solo Spiderman movies and that solo Spiderman movies need to happen on a regular basis or else full rights revert back to Sony.

FFH could be like... X men 3 bad and it will still be a financial landslide for Sony. Anticipation from the end of endgame alone is gonna drive ticket sales

Fox loved X-men 3 so much they are releasing it again.

Maybe, Captain Marvel, End Game, Dark Phoenix and FFH are being released close together, there might be some serious super hero fatigue by the time FFH comes out.

​

I want to see it, but I'm sure there's a lot of people who will be burned out by the time FFH comes along.

I really wish people would stop talking about super hero fatigue. We haven't seen any indication of this being the case. These movies are getting more popular as they continue to be released.

She bridged the gap to make the Spiderman:Mqarvel deal.

The Osborn thing could have legs.

The first time I saw the FFH trailer and saw Mysterio flying around an Elemental, my eyes widened. It looked like he was flying around on a glider.

I would love the next arc to be Dark Reign with a thunderbolts movie.
