Remember that time when Marvel and Sony broke up, leaving the future of Spider-Man in limbo? Well, luckily they ended up working things out and getting back together. What we know about the recent deal is that they would collaborate on one more Spider-Man solo, which is Spider-Man: No Way Home, and then one other MCU project, which I think will be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Well, the partnership between the two studios involving Spider-Man might actually have been extended. According to Tom Holland, an agreement has already been made regarding the character’s future. During an interview with Collider, Holland dropped the following info:
“The way I understand it is that agreement between the two studios has already happened. I don’t think that they’re going to run into the same troubles that they did as we were going into… was it Spider-Man 2? Far from Home had come out and then the whole thing happened between Sony and Marvel. I think the two studios have worked that out, and I don’t think that that will be a problem in the future. That said, I’m just the actor and I was a part of a few phone calls during that process, but I think they love working with each other, I think they found a way in which it can be beneficial for both studios, and I’m just kind of like a kid in the middle of it, between two parents during an argument.”
Holland went on to say that his contract to play Spider-Man is up after Spider-Man: No Way Home. But, that’s ok, because he’s not going to give up playing the character anytime soon. The actor went on to say:
“[Spider-Man 3] would be my last one [under contract] so I’ve always said to them if they want me back I’ll be there in a heartbeat. I’ve loved every minute of being a part of this amazing world. It’s changed my life for the better, I’m so lucky to be here. If they want me back I’ll be there, if they don’t I will walk off into the sunset a very, very happy person because it’s been an amazing journey.”
Well, it’ll be interesting to see what the future of Spider-Man holds, but it’s nice to hear that maybe Marvel and Sony continue to plan on working with each other on future projects.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is being directed by Jon Watts and it’s currently set to be released this Christmas!
