CAJH wrote: Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony's Marvel Universe are now more like "communities" in one universe. But MCU can't mention anything that happens in Sony's Universe and vice versa. They shouldn't even exist in the same universe. Two different studios -- one who knows what they're doing, and the other that doesn't. In the interview, you can tell Amy Pascal really doesn't know much about Spider-Man and the other Marvel characters Sony owns the cinematic rights to.

Even if they don't mention the other movies, just existing in the same universe can open a can of worms. For example, if they decide to place the Venom movie in the year 2017 (current year) and depict MCU Spider-Man as being a seasoned superhero (which they would be legally able to do) that would contradict the MCU movies' version of events, where Spider-Man is still a rookie in 2016 and thus could not be a seasoned veteran by the next year.

Even if they make no mention of it, just by existing in the same universe, it all breaks down. Sony needs someone else at the helm - someone who knows what they're doing and SAYING.
