The proportional strength of a spider, the ability to climb walls, and a sixth sense: all are the iconic powers of Spider-Man. Now, it seems like they should add "bringing two reluctant movie studios together after a month of intense fan outcry. Yes, as it was recently revealed Spider-Man will be rejoining the MCU after a public spat between Disney and Sony. The news, broken a few days ago by Mark Hughes at Forbes, was met with nearly universal praise from fans who argued the fate of the hero was best served in the hands of Marvel Entertainment owner Disney.
Besides that news, it was also announced that Tom Holland, Far from Home director Jon Watts, and the rest of the MCU Spidey cast and crew would be returning for one more film to round out the trilogy, resolving the cliff-hanger at the end of that film. This film, which is still untitled, will be released on July 16, 2021. However, rumors still suggest that the MCU Spider-Man will still cross-over with Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters, particularly Venom. Personally speaking, I'm excited for this news. While I still maintain that Sony has largely handled the wall-crawler with the utmost respect, Tom Holland's version of the character deserves to have his story properly told. Speaking of Holland, I applaud him for his role in resolving this issue, as he apparently used his clout with Sony (due to starring in Sony's Uncharted) to leverage chair of Sony Films Tom Rothman into renegotiating with Disney.
