Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will not be leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After publicly parting ways, Sony Pictures and Marvel have struck a deal for one more movie.
The two companies on Friday announced that Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will produce the third film in the Spider-Man: Homecoming series, reports variety.com.
It will once again feature Holland as the web slinging hero. The new film even has a release date — July 16, 2021. Jon Watts, the filmmaker behind the previous two Spider-Man films, is in talks to direct the third film.
As part of the arrangement, Spider-Man will also 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,” said Feige.
“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,” he added.
