I don't see how Sony messed it up??? Marvel sold the filming rights to Spiderman and his supporting cast and it is Sony's right to make those movies anyway they want, but only limited to Spiderman character's. Raimi's Spider-Man came out in 2002, who knew that Osborn would become the Iron Patriot in 2009's Dark Avengers series.
It isn't Marvel fault either because when they were selling the movie rights to their character, at that time they were unable to produce the films themselves which wasn't until 2008's Iron Man.
Both Sony and Marvel have to work within the legal boundaries of eachother's filming rights. The inclusion of IP in IM3 fitting into the story they were trying to fit. And Sony is only interested in the Green Goblin aspect of Osborn, I highly doubt they will have him running H.A.M.M.E.R. By the time we get to Amazing Spiderman 5.
Though I would rather have Fantastic Four and Spidey back with MS rather than the X-Men, but do not make Spidey and Avenger till like...Phase 7 or so.
