Partly thanks to Holland, Iger and Sony film chairman Tom Rothman reached a new deal that calls for one more Spider-Man film that can feature characters and stories from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will see Disney take home a higher producing fee for their involvement in the film than previous Spider-Man movies.
“I’m glad you got drunk and got on the phone with Bob,” Kimmel told Holland.
Tom Holland has revealed he wept during a drunken phone call to Disney boss Bob Iger, a conversation that has been credited with helping to keep the Spider-Man franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A deal between Sony and Disney – which allowed Spider-Man to cross over between the MCU and his own movies – spectacularly fell apart in August.
