Ruffalo also talked about his own feelings regarding the falling out between Sony and Disney.
"It's good for [Disney and Sony], and I was sad that it would even...," Ruffalo continued. "I just can't even imagine, after what we've all done together, like, how you would separate [Spider-Man and Marvel]?"
