Since the news of the Sony-Marvel split over Spider-Man became public, fans have taken sides and speculated over the future of Tom Holland’s involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recently, however, the situation is starting to become more clear — the third Sony Spider-Man film will likely not be in the MCU.
Saturday, both Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Tom Holland acknowledged the divorce, each sharing their fond thoughts of the partnership and excitement for the future. In an appearance at Keystone Comic Con on Sunday, Tom Holland said that he is not done playing Spider-Man and that he sat down with Sony and the creative team to pitch a Spider-Man 3 though it probably won’t be in the MCU.

While much had been made over Tom Holland’s silence in the wake of the Sony-Marvel fiasco, the actor was somewhat candid, if not a bit vague, at Keystone Comic Con saying that they have “really exciting” ideas for how Spider-Man’s world can expand, other characters he can meet, and who can “cross over with.” Tom Holland also added that “there’s another deeper connection for me to the next one that you’re going to like.”
You can see Tom Holland’s statement from Keystone Comic Con in an Instagram video below where he thanks Marvel for allowing him to live out his dream and Sony for allowing him to continue it:

In the spirit of more vague hints at what’s to come for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, he also highlighted the scene from Spider-Man: Far From Home where he’s on the plane with Jon Favreau, saying that moment is “pivotal” for the two previous films and the upcoming third film.
Tom Holland also shared his excitement for the potential of a live-action Miles Morales. After revealing that he almost made a cameo in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, he added “One day we’ll have to bring Miles to the live action screen… It’ll be amazing.”
For someone who’s often known for sharing spoilers and initially kept quiet in the wake of the Sony-Marvel split, Tom Holland gave fans a lot to go off of at Keystone Comic Con.
