Kevin Feige had a recent interview about crossovers and had a very different tone about Sony's Spidey franchise in particular, whereas the usual answer was 'no chance in Hell'. I found his language telling.
Once upon a time something like Avengers was wish stuff, and a billion dollars later here we are. I think somebody's looking to make a deal. I also think it would be a less risky, more flexible deal between the rebooted Spider-Man and the Avengers.
This is just my speculation and I just told my roommate this; something big is going down between Sony and Marvel/Disney. And if Fox is looking to get the jump, perhaps something will happen there as well (and it would only include Hugh Jackman).
They have to know that the only thing that could match Avenger's epic concept is adding Spider-Man or Wolverine to the mix, characters currently in their respective studios. But with all that money and hype on the line, pride will be laid aside.
Spider-Man or Wolverine will be a part of the Avengers franchise by the end of Phase Two. That is what I'm thinking.
