Spider-Man Gets To Stay In The MCU And Gets A New Movie To Boot

it's almost time to breathe a collective sigh of relief, Marvel and Spider-Man fans.


Right after a brief breakup, Sony Photographs and Marvel Studios are remaining in agency with each other, which means that Spider-Man no longer has to leave the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Needless to say that's wonderful news, although we'll do you one even better: there's a new movie coming.


Sony Photos and Marvel Studios released a joint statement on Friday (September 27) announcing that Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige could be producing the movie.


Specifically, the new movie we said will be the third film in the Spider-Man: Homecoming series. The movie will bring Tom Holland back to reprise his role as everyone's preference web-slinger, which undoubtedly had fans over the moon with excitement.


Back in August, you might remember that the talks to extend the deal between Sony Photographs and Disney had previously collapsed, as Disney had been seeking a bigger cut of the profits from Spider-Man movies. With Sony Photos unwilling to budge, this was challenging to prepare happen.


As a result, that meant Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige would have essentially been unable to produce new Spider-Man films. Luckily, that is no longer the case right now, as it appears the new deal will find Marvel and Disney procuring around 25% of the profits, and Disney will retain merchandising rights and put up about 1/4 of the money needed to finance the films. Spider-Man will also get to appear in one future Marvel Studios film.


"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,” mentioned Feige in a recent statement. "Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and crowds around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony keeps it up and continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”


So the as-yet-unnamed Spider-Man movie is officially coming, and it's set to debut on July 16, 2021. Yes, it can be a little bit premature, although it's seriously time to get excited.
