They’ve also announced when we can expect the new Spidey movie.
There had been some issues recently with the future of Spider-Man on the big screen.
In what can probably be chalked up to “money”, there was an apparent falling out between Sony (who own the movie rights to Spider-Man) and Disney (who own Marvel, who, in turn, own Spider-Man).
Whatever the issues were, Variety are reporting that they’ve been worked out, that Tom Holland will return in the title role and that Spider-Man will still very much be a part of the MCU.
Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, said: “I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it.
“Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
So what that essentially means is that not only does Spider-Man still get to hang out with some of the members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his movies, he’ll (hopefully) still be able to join in the next time there is a big Avengers movie that requires all of the heroes to reunite to save the world/universe/etc.
The currently untitled third Spider-Man movie is set to arrive on 16 July 2021.
After Iron Man appeared in the first one and Nick Fury appeared in the second one, we should probably anticipate further MCU crossovers for the third.
Tom Holland and his co-stars told JOE that they already have some ideas on who that should be…
