Spoiler!

Does Spider-man just never mention Tony Stark again after him playing such a big role in his life as Spider-man (he's kind of playing the Ben Parker role in this iteration).

Does Happy Hogan just dissapear now?

They made it pretty clear in this version that Spider-man is a member of the Avengers

Plus really it's all upside for Sony. They get to keep all the revenue from Standalone Spider-man films but get all the hype and benefit of the overall MCU.

Spoiler!

How much longer are they going to keep referencing Tony Stark now that he's dead? How much longer are they going to make Spiderman dependent on Stark, instead of his own stand alone hero?

Also, they've made it pretty clear that Spiderman's future is not part of the Avengers. They are going with a public enemy storyline. If Spiderman was part of the Avengers, the Avengers would just step in and squash the whole thing. Surely, the Avengers must have some of their own evidence and recordings to show that Mysterio was actually the bad guy. It would be a massive deal to have one of the Avengers members being sought by law enforcement.

It's also not all upside for Sony. As stated, they don't get to push their own universe with their own side characters. Amazing Spider-man 2 still made over $700 million on awful word of mouth, compared to the $880 Spiderman Homecoming.

The difference is there, but it doesn't outweigh 3-4 Spiderverse side movies making extra money, with the inclusion of the Spiderman character.

I think it's likely that Sony does come to some sort of new deal with Disney. However, it's far from a guarantee. Once again, I think Sony will wait and see if 1-2 more of their side movies are profitable. If so, they may go on their own.
