Spider-Man Is Back In The MCU!

Marvel and Sony are teaming up for Spider-Man 3 and a mystery MCU film.

Just when you thought that Sony announcing a Madame Web spin-off movie was going to be the craziest Spider-Man news of the day, it's just been reported as per Variety that Marvel and Sony have finally hashed out a deal to co-produce the third film in Sony's Tom Holland-starring trilogy, while Spidey will also appear in one more Marvel film.

The deal was apparently finalised late Thursday night, with top brass at both companies negotiating new terms to continue the partnership. Variety's insiders say that going forward, Disney and Marvel will net 25% of the profits from new Spider-Man films, which is half of what they initially bargained for, but way more than they were getting previously.

In a statement by Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, who will be back on producing duties for the third film, he said:

"I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it."

Expect to hear more about the exact terms of the new deal in the coming days, but for now we can look forward to seeing Spider-Man once again in Jon Watts' third film, and at least one more Marvel movie.
