Following Spider-Man: Far from Home, fans went on a momentary freak-out when Sony and Disney had their very-public split, leaving them unsure if they’d see Tom Holland as Petre Parker ever again. Neither studio liked the backlash they received during that time, and we would come to learn that Holland played a big role in getting the two sides back together. And now with No Way Home in theaters and receiving some of the best reviews from fans and critics alike, Kevin Feige is getting in front of any questions regarding the future of Spider-Man.
Speaking with New York Times, Feige reassured any fans worried Spider-Man in the MCU that a fourth movie is being discussed right now, so no need to panic!
“Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about – yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next, which I only say outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after ‘Far From Home,'” Feige confirmed. “That will not be occurring this time.”
Sony producer Amy Pascal chimed in, and said that the film’s conclusion (which I won’t spoil here!) is the starting point for where the next story goes…
“At the end of the movie we just made, you see Spider-Man make a momentous decision, one that you’ve never seen him make before. It’s a sacrifice. And that gives us a lot to work with for the next film.”
It’ll be interesting to see what happens next with Holland. He’s said that any deal between Sony and Disney is pretty informal, but I would guess he’ll return for at least one more Spider-Man movie. Maybe to pass the torch to someone else? And what about director Jon Watts? He’s got a Fantastic Four film coming up so probably won’t return. And what about some of the Spidey supporting cast that we’ve loved for years? Are they done, as well?
