Is Tom Holland Still Spider-Man? MCU Role Uncertain After Marvel-Sony Split
Kevin Feige’s five-year plan for the MCU may have just been destroyed thanks to an ongoing disagreement between Disney and Sony about sharing the Spider-Man character. Deadline reported Tuesday afternoon that, “Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige won’t produce any further Spider-Man films because of an inability by Disney and Sony Pictures to reach new terms that would have given the former a co-financing stake going forward.”
So … is Tom Holland still Spider-Man?
Anyone who’s worried about what all of this means for the Spider-Man actor can breathe a sigh of relief. Holland will still reprise the role of Peter Parker and explore his flourishing romance with Zendaya’s MJ in perhaps two more superhero films — but he’ll seemingly do so outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Not only did the MCU just lose Iron Man and Captain America as part of Endgame, but it also just lost Spider-Man as well due to this contract dispute.
Holland’s version of the character should still appear on the big green, but all of his appearance won’t have Kevin Feige’s Midas touch as a Hollywood producer. Sony also won’t receive whatever additional support Disney may have provided during production on Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home that helped make both solo Spidey films such a success. The impression all along was that Sony could do whatever it wanted with characters like Venom that the studio exclusively owned, but the agreement between Sony and Marvel Studios meant that Kevin Feige and his team at Marvel had last say in terms of the overarching plan involving Spider-Man.
Now, Sony is on its own, and the studio can forge its own way. How long can this last? How long will it last? Can it even be successful?
The Hollywood Reporter stated back in 2016 that Holland’s initial contract was for three solo movies and three Marvel projects total, meaning that as of this writing, his contract should only include one more solo film. However, Deadline’s latest report based on inside sources claims the plan is for two more solo Spider-Man movies with Holland as Peter Parker, both directed by Jon Watts.
This drastic change probably won’t impact Marvel’s Phase Four all that much when you recall that there are no team-up projects or Spider-Man films scheduled over the next few years. But it does mean that Spider-Man won’t be an Avenger any longer when the inevitable Phase Five and Avengers 5 become the focus of the MCU — unless somehow this agreement changes yet again.
Hopefully there were no secret cameos or post-credits scenes with Spidey planned because that is no longer as possibility.
On the plus side, this does mean that Holland’s Spidey can swing neatly over into Sony’s other Marvel properties. Spider-Man can fight Tom Hardy’s Venom and Jared Leto’s vampire in Morbius. There’s also Kraven the Hunter and another spin-off with the Silver Sable and Black Cat to look forward to. A Spider-Man cameo, crossover, or even just post-credits scenes in one or all of these projects is now a firm possibility.
There’s also the more obvious and enticing option of having Tom Holland voice a version of his character in an animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel. The timing of this news is also interesting in light of Monday’s news that Sony Entertainment purchased Insomniac Games, the video game studio behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Man game for the Sony PlayStation 4.
Mark this one as two steps forward for Sony as it tries to grow its flagship superhero franchise, but one step back for anyone who wants to see all Marvel Comics characters appear together in the same live-action movie.

I knew the timing of yesterday's announcement felt weird. That was something that you spring at a E3 or during your Games Conference in December.
"I Don't Wanna Go." Spider-Man Officially Out of MCU Due to Marvel-Sony Spat
After a homecoming to the Marvel Universe, Spider-Man is out on his own once more. A reported “inability” to reach “new terms” between Disney-owned Marvel Studios and Sony have resulted in a break-up that will see Tom Holland continue his role as Spider-Man in new movies that will not take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
On Tuesday, Deadline broke the news that Marvel and Sony have ended a working relationship to include Spider-Man in the MCU. The site reports it happened “because of an inability by Disney and Sony Pictures to reach new terms that would have given the former a co-financing stake going forward.”
In other words, Disney would have gained more creative control and revenue from what is still a Sony franchise, and Sony refused. Sony offered to keep the current deal going forward, where Disney gets all merchandise revenue and 5% of first dollar gross. It appears that just wasn’t enough money for Disney, as the studio similarly “refused.”
Deadline further confirms the split means Spider-Man is out of the MCU shared universe. Writes the site, “A dispute that has taken place over the past few months at the top of Disney and Sony has essentially nixed Feige, and the future involvement of Marvel from the Spider-Man universe, sources said.”
A reported two more live-action Spider-Man films are in the pipeline that will be directed by Jon Watts and star Tom Holland. It is now understood these movies will not feature ties to the MCU or cameos from other characters.
Sony is said to be required to make a new Spider-Man movie “every three or so years” in order to keep the rights, or else relinquish them back to Disney/Marvel. It is unknown at this juncture if Sony will feature Spider-Man in its expanding universe with Venom and next year’s Morbius starring Jared Leto.

Sony cut its own throat.
I guess those electronics are doing well for them to throw away all that revenue. Marvel is printing money with their movies and the rumored Avengers (of which Spidey is one) - X-Men crossover movie will bust the vaults. The merchandising alone...
Well, whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the line they get it together. Money talks and I can't believe they'll let all that cake go.

Whats the big deal?
I low key blame YOU for this cuz..
were we NOT JUST DISCUSSING THIS@!!!!!?!?!?
And the possibility of a 2 picture EXTENSION to the ORIGINAL deal???
WTF is Sony doing???
and at a CRITICAL TIME too...
they JUST hired the 2 dudes who did Spiderverse @fonzerrillii
(unless they think THEY can handle creating an ENTIRE NEW UNIVERSE WITHOUT Feige help?
along with the usual Sony exec f*ckery that has derailed NUMEROUS projects in the recent past)
why NOT use up ALL the Marvel goodwill available RIGHT THERE for you????
ESPECIALLY with the Marvel Disney App COMING??? @tallblacknyc
And they uniting it with HULU (Runaways, cloak and Dagger (perfect teen targeted properties) too???
DO they NOT realize the MASSIVE cross promotion possible with the NEXT couple of Sony projects???
They would have HULU, Disney+, ESPN+ advertising...
And the steaming wars are about to be TREACHEROUS, @largebillsonlyplease
they would have AT LEAST have an automatic IN with all FUTURE Marvel projects too...
And WHY LOSE ALL THAT good will with Zendaya?
who is a even bigger star with Euphoria (and a MUCH needed young woman of color)
give me a minute..
and MORE IMPORTANTLY
Why F*CK with TOM HOLLAND?!?!?! @ansatsusha_gouki
the big deal is that spiderman was becoming a key part of the MCU, granted, they knew they didnt have the rights for long, but they were making plans around his character, and now he's just gone. never to be mentioned again.
So basically... Disney was like... Look Fam... We set you up in our MCU, marketed that bitch, and got you your first Billion dollar Spiderman.. We need a bigger take.
Sony was like: We are ok with the current deal
Disney responded with: Deuces..
Something tells me that next year.. Disney+ is going to have a fucking legit... Live Action Spider-man or a fantastic Spider-man cartoon.
If i remember right... I think Sony gave up all TV rights to Spiderman when the signed the 2009 deal with Disney...

Rumor has it Sony or Amy Pascal(Head executive) was fine with the deal until they seen how much avengers end game made at the box office.
Now Sony wants to build up there own universe to a avengers style movie. With Spider-Man, Venom, Hunter, etc...
Let’s see how that works

Also... doesn't Disney OWN the merchandising rights to Spider-man.
Nah
Venom isn't why
Sony had no intention of ever being "fair"
Marvel needed Spiderman to make avengers work so they were ok with the deal
Now that shit done he can be phased out
was hoping to eventually see this
EXACTLY...
and apparently if cousin @fonzerrillii is CORRECT???
The possibility STILL strongly exists
in fact NOW more than before.
gave up TV rights, merch % and control of on going shows
and then Jeph Loeb canceled the Spectacular Spider Man series
