According to a report by Deadline, Sony is planning two more Spider-Man films with Tom Holland but Homecoming and Far From Home director Jon Watts is not set to return.

Yesterday, fans learned  Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will no longer co-produce Tom Holland’s Spider-Man films after Disney and Sony failed to reach an agreement on new terms to continue to the partnership. The decision left fans disappointed and some were confused about what this meant for the future of Tom Holland’s version of the wall-crawler now that he will no longer be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Though some feared Tom Holland would no longer portray Spider-Man, Fandango’s Erik Davis noted that Deadline’s report indicates Sony is still planning to produce two more films with Holland as the wall-crawler. However, while Sony reportedly still wants to work with Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home director Jon Watts, the filmmaker has not signed a deal for a third film and is therefore not set to return for Tom Holland’s third outing as the wall-crawler as of now. According to the report, Jon Watts not being locked to return “isn’t helped by that fact that” Kevin Fiege won’t be the creative lead on the Tom Holland Spider-Man films unless Disney and Sony can reach an agreement.

Are you holding out hope that Sony and Disney can return to the negotiating table? Are you hoping Jon Watts will return to direct the third Tom Holland Spider-Man either way? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man must step up to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever.

Directed by Jon Watts from a script written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Martin Starr, Numan Acar, J.B. Smoove, Oli Hill, Remy Hii, Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Cobie Smulders, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is now playing in theaters!
