I'm under the impression that it's a MARVEL film being distributed by SONY, correct? -

No, the deal is such that Sony pays for the full budget of the Spider-man solo movies and nets all the profits while Marvel likewise pays for the full budget of all their MCU films and nets all of the profits, even if spider-man appears in one of them.
This was reported on awhile back. Quick example of a source that easily came up when doing a search:
Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

Regarding the creative control bit; Marvel has been making the creative decisions, but they need final approval from Sony who Marvel has said has been being amenable to most of what they want. Sony studio execs also viewed Civil War and provided Marvel with notes regarding the Spider-man bits as they have final creative control over how he is depicted in those films as well.
It's basically like a director-studio situation. There are times when a studio will defer to a director's creative impulses and let them do most to all of what they want. This is one of those times. The only thing, though, is that such an arrangement could change at any time, leading to a studio to make as many or as few creative demands as they want as they have final say. That's also the case here. -

Sony still owns him, Marvel brought him on lease while they were prepping to launch a shared universe with Spider and Robbie Reyes/ Ghost Rider in it. With the latter being a big shot of Shield.
There lies his crown in water deep, till Durin wakes again from sleep.
