After months of negotiating, Marvel and Sony have come to a deal to continue Spider-Man’s involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Until today, that meant Sony could keep making Spider-Man movies with Tom Holland — but Marvel wouldn’t have been a part of them, or that Holland couldn’t appear in future MCU movies.
The initial deal that allowed Marvel, who created the character, and Sony, who holds the rights to produce movies based on Spidey, concluded with last summer’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Fans get more Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, which are great, and they get to see Spider-Man continue his role in the MCU, which looks to be pretty central after the events of Far From Home.
