A new rumor suggests that Kevin Feige will be writing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man out of the MCU now that the character is set to return to the billion dollar franchise.
Just yesterday it was revealed that Disney and Sony have come to terms regarding Spider-Man’s return to the MCU thanks to negotiations by Kevin Feige. However, this news is short-lived and potentially bittersweet at best, as Comicbook.com claims that Kevin Feige will be writing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man out of the MCU. What this new plan would do is pave the way for Sony to have full creative control of the character once he’s officially out of the MCU.
Spider-Man is set to appear in two more MCU movies thanks to the new deal. According to this rumor, Kevin Feige and his team will be using these two films, one being a Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel and the other presumably an MCU team-up film, to usher Tom Holland’s Spider-Man out of the franchise in a graceful way that acknowledges his existence. Prior to the two companies making up, it was rumored that the Sony Spider-Man films could not have any references to the MCU and vice-versa, which would mean that Tom Holland’s dismissal would just not be acknowledged. If we go according to this rumor, at least the character will get a goodbye in some shape or form from Kevin Feige.
It was genuinely a miracle for Spider-Man to join the MCU in the first place and thanks to Kevin Feige, it became a reality. However, as corporate interests get in the way, it’s the fans that have to deal with the fallout. It’s nice to have Spider-Man back in the MCU, but if this rumor is true, it is almost certain that his role will be continue to diminish in stature as the franchise rolls into the next decade. Hopefully Kevin Feige and his team can do him justice if his role in the MCU is short lived now.
