Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

Spider-Man gets to suck Tony Stark's peen one last time, baby!
Too bad hardly anyone can replicate that success...
Kraven's like the only super major Lee/Ditko villain they haven't done in a movie yet. I think the real success for the MCU Spider-Man has been updating the Rogues Gallery more then it has Spider-Man, so I'm eager to see how they might tackle Kraven.
He has the longest history with the FF then he does with any other team. Johnny was his main Superhero pal/rival growing up and he relates to Reed as a scientist.
Comic-wise, the only X-Man he's really close to is Wolverine and occasionally Iceman.
Yeah, that's just a personal opinion then. Spider-Man and the FF are thick as butter: Johnny Storm is his superhero best friend, he's joined the team/been paired up with them several times, they were his first superfriends, and he even fought their enemy, Dr. Doom, as his first outside villain. If you're saying you prefer him with the X-Men, then that's fine. But he's far more than just a random pairing.
The only story I can imagine Spider-Man and the X-Men (outside Secret Wars) teaming up is Arcade and Murderworld. Plenty of options with the Fantastic Four.
Hopefully this doesn’t lead to Marvel reshuffling their Phase Four schedule you accommodate the new picture.
Given how messing this was, I imagine Marvel is going to be a little more cautious about making Spidey and his villains central players.
....maaaaaaaaaaaybe .
To be honest, I'd really like to see a good Spidey/Wolverine team-up .
I think they've already been cautious enough. Spidey was prominent at the tail end of the Infinity Saga but not in a way where anyone would probably mention him again if he suddenly vanished for rights reasons.
I guess we still don't know who owns Avengers Tower now, but I'm betting it won't be OsCorp.
Admittedly, I myself liked any comic where Spidey was shown to hold his own against an entire superhero team, (whether it be the Avengers, FF, or X-Men) but I prefer Spidey and the X-Men as allies. They're have been both feared and hunted, and even have to deal with robots specifically built to destroy them (Sentinels and Spider-Slayers). Why haven't we had an event where Spider-players start targeting all the Spider-people that are running around these days?
But on topic, I am glad to see a deal was struck. Too many things were tied into the MCU for the whole Peter's identity revealed to the world cliffhanger ending to progress forward.

"The White Queen welcomes you, TO DIE!"
Was this all a big fake-out to drive up anticipation for the next film?
In which case, I say "well played, lads.... well played, indeed."
No. I think this was legit. There was a break-up and make-up. The next movie is in 2021 two years or so away. A lot can happen between now and then for this mini-farce to count for much.
I was okay with Sony's Spider-Man leaving the MCU and I am indifferent to them joining again.
Oh this news just made my entire Friday! Welcome home, again, Peter!
