The Spider-Man film rights are owned by Sony, so any chance of him appearing in an Avengers film (or any film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) seemed...higly unlikely. But then it was "revealed" that the Oscorp building came so close to making it into the Avengers film.. and Sony is serious about trying to make Spider-Man into the MCU, so I suppose it's really up to the MCU guys...and money. It's mainly about money...it's only about money.
