Marvel And Sony Reportedly Have A New Strategy For Sharing Spider-Man Characters, And I Have To Wonder How It’ll Affect Tom Holland’s Return

As a die-hard Marvel fan who’s been following the Spider-Man saga since the days of Tobey Maguire’s web-slinger, I can’t help but feel like a kid on Christmas morning with this new development! The news that Sony and Marvel are sharing the Spidey universe more seamlessly has me buzzing with excitement.


The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going strong for years now, and is showing no signs of slowing down. New releases are constantly coming in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription, although there are a few upcoming Marvel movies that fans desperate for information about. Chief among them is the next Spider-Man movie, with fans curious about what comes next. Marvel and Sony reportedly have a new strategy for sharing Spider-Man characters, and I have to wonder how it’ll affect Tom Holland’s return.

Since the ending of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was unveiled, fans have been curious about how the series will proceed on the big screen. Details regarding “Spider-Man 4” have been scarce due to Tom Holland’s acting hiatus. However, a report by CBM suggests that the shared control of the character between Sony and Marvel may have shifted.

According to the latest information, Sony intends to share details about the Spider-Man villains they plan to use in upcoming projects with Kevin Feige and other key Marvel figures. Moreover, it’s said that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be prevented from utilizing these same characters for 30 days after each new release becomes available on video-on-demand (VOD). In simpler terms, this means a potential delay in the appearance of shared Spider-Man villains between Sony and Marvel’s films.

Initially, Sony is taking care to establish clear limits when dealing with Marvel Studios regarding Spider-Man’s storyline, using its control over the character’s lore as a foundation. However, this arrangement could potentially pave the way for fresh storylines within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), since Marvel can possibly make use of similar characters, provided they adhere to the established guidelines.

It’s possible that Marvel could draw upon Sony characters like Kraven the Hunter or Madame Web in future projects. However, using Madame Web might be a bit of a reach. The Kraven movie kept Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character from being used in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies that fans have followed diligently over the years, certain Spider-Man characters have been absent during Tom Holland’s storyline. Although “No Way Home” reintroduced figures from earlier franchises, this was feasible due to Sony not using Electro and Green Goblin villains at the time. However, under the recent deal, Marvel appears to be able to draw upon a wider range of characters from the comics, provided they strategize effectively to align with Sony’s plans.

Given the great interest among fans regarding Tom Holland’s upcoming fourth Spider-Man film, it’s possible that the rumored agreement between Sony and Marvel will lead to various fan speculations about what may transpire next. We can only anticipate official updates from the studio when they become available.

Upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, titled “Captain America: New World Order“, will be in theaters starting from Valentine’s Day, February 14th. In the meantime, here are the planned release dates for movies in 2025.
