Tom Holland Spider-Man MCU future in question

Holland has had quite the week as last week saw it reported that negotiations over keeping Spider-Man in the MCU between Disney and Sony fell apart, meaning that Spider-Man will be back with Sony and out of the MCU and out of being a part of any future Avengers movies. Reportedly, talks are still ongoing, but during the D23 Expo, both Tom Holland and Kevin Feige commented on the situation.

ā€œBasically, we’ve made five great movies,ā€ Holland told Entertainment Weekly. ā€œIt’s been five amazing years. I’ve had the time of my life. Who knows what the future holds? But all I know is that I’m going to continue playing Spider-Man and having the time of my life. It’s going to be so fun, however we choose to do it. The future for Spider-Man will be different, but it will be equally as awesome and amazing, and we’ll find new ways to make it even cooler.ā€

ā€œI’m feeling about Spider-Man gratitude and joy,ā€ Feige told EW. ā€œWe got to make five films within the MCU with Spider-Man: two standalone films and three with the Avengers. It was a dream that I never thought would happen. It was never meant to last forever. We knew there was a finite amount of time that we’d be able to do this, and we told the story we wanted to tell, and I’ll always be thankful for that.ā€
