Tom Holland's Role in Marvel Cinematic Universe Is Likely Over

We have some good news and some bad news for you. To start with the good news, Tom Holland will indeed continue playing Spider-Man in future movies. The bad news is that he likely will never be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe again.

Spider-Man is a character whose screen rights have been owned by Sony Pictures for years, before Disney ever launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The two studios formed a partnership so that the superhero could live in the same cinematic world as the other Marvel characters.

Tom‘s Spider-Man launched the partnership between the studios with his appearance in Captain America: Civil War and he appeared in five MCU movies overall.

Disney received five percent of first dollar gross for Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, but the studio wanted a bigger percentage moving forward. Sony opted to keep the five percent in place and the studios were unable to reach an agreement on the matter.

Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, will no longer serve as a producer on any future Spider-Man movies from Sony and Tom will likely not appear in any future Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, according to THR.

It’s important to note that Tom will still return as Spider-Man in future movies, but they will likely not be connected to the other Marvel movies.

Variety reports that a deal could still be reached, so maybe if enough fans speak out, they’ll come to an agreement!
