Millions of hearts were left broken when the production house Sony announced the departure of their character Spider-Man from Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe. It meant that Spider-Man would appear only in Sony movies, but his journey with Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Iron Man and such would have come to an end. Thankfully, a new deal was struck between the two studios, and Spidey was back in MCU, for at least one solo film and one ensemble. Stan Lee 96th Birth Anniversary: How the Spider-Man Creator Came up With the Line 'With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility'.

Tom Holland, the actor who plays the titular superhero, had jokingly said that he attended a call, while being drunk, with then-Disney CEO Bob Iger and cried.

While talking to MTV, he said, "The future for Spider-Man was still very bright with Sony. We had a really, really wonderful idea how we could sort of transition into a Spider-Man without the MCU. Tom Rothman and Amy Pascal were really confident that they were gonna do justice and make a film of the calibre that Spider-Man requires."

The third part in the MCU-Sony Spider-Man series, following Homecoming and Far From Home,  is in development. In a recent interview, Tom revealed that this time the production houses have not kept the plot details a secret from him.

"I know everything now. I had my big pitch meeting with Marvel and Sony about two weeks ago and I know all the secrets. But I’ve also done about a thousand interviews so I know how not to spoil a movie anymore," he said.

Rumour has it that Tom Holland's Spider-Man might also appear in at least one of the two upcoming Sony movies - Jared Leto starrer Morbius or Tom Hardy starrer Venom 2.
