Looks like the collective prayers of the Tom Holland-MCU fans might come to fruition. The legal feud between Sony and Marvel Universe led to the sudden exit of the much-loved character of Spider-Man played by Tom from MCU. The heartbroken fans slammed Sony for its harsh decision and started trends like 'Save Spider-Man' on the social media. Now, as per the latest report, both the houses are working on a new deal which indeed might retain Spider-Man in MCU.

Mikey Sutton from ComicBookMovie.com hinted about this possible good change. He was quoted saying, "I am hearing from sources inside Sony and Disney that both sides might reach a new agreement in a week's time, more or less. Contract talks continue. I caution that, in business, the smallest differences could result in this being tabled once again. But for now they seem to be floating in the right direction. Tom Holland was given strict orders at a recent convention not to talk about the Sony-Disney dispute because he might end up spoiling sensitive information."
Well, if this report turns out to be true, then nothing like it! Earlier, Sony and MCU ended the deal as the latter was given only five percent of the earnings from the first day box office collection. However, Spider-Man has been one of the important characters of the MCU. His bonding with Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man has been the most favourite of the fans. It will be really difficult to imagine Spider-Man without any Tony Stark reference. What are your thoughts on this new development?
