One college football fan could care less about today’s game – he wants Tom Holland’s Spider-Man back with Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of only in Sony’s movies!
Today, during ESPN’s College Game Day show, one fan got right into frame to continue showing support for the Marvel Cinematic Universe iteration of Spider-Man (portrayed by Tom Holland) in spite of Sony’s current plans to move on from their partnership with Marvel Studios. While both sides have publicly stated that the partnership is over for now, there’s still pressure from fans to get something to work out, much like the fiasco of James Gunn’s firing and re-hiring on the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

There are some rumors indicating that, in spite of Sony, Marvel, and Tom Holland’s public statements, the two parties may still be interested in discussing a future deal in response to the intense backlash that they received when the split was announced. Indeed, it’s suspicious that Sony has not formally announced a third Spider-Man movie or future plans with the character and Tom Holland, nor have they offered plans their live-action or animated television shows, since the rights to make those are with Marvel themselves.
However, the cinematic future of Spider-Man will remain uncertain for the time being, outside of Tom Holland being committed to keep playing the character. The sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home – which is to be written by returning writers Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna – is in early development, so there are still a few months for both parties to come to terms that they can agree with, or they may mutually decide to move on. Hopefully, Tom Holland has a bright future ahead of him regardless of how the cards fall.
Here is the official synopsis for Spider-Man: Far From Home:
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, the film 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 still playing in theaters, with a director’s cut now playing in select theaters. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on Tom Holland and the future of Spider-Man on film as we learn it.
