Licensing for Spider-Man has long been extremely complex, which is why it took
so long to make the first movie. The LEGO license for the movie sets was with
Sony who produced and held the license for motion picture merchandise. The Mega
sets were licensed by Marvel who held the rights to character related
merchandise. For the Spider-Man 2 movie, there were both LEGO and Mega sets on
the shelf, LEGO sets were specific to the movie, while Mega sets were more
generic.
That being said I would be really suprised if LEGO continued this license, in
the face of the prevelence of new Mega sets, including other Marvel movie moguls
like Fantastic Four, Wolverine, and the Hulk.
