Sony and Disney's disagreement may see MCU lose Tom Holland's Spiderman

Sony says it is "disappointed" not to be working with Disney on future Spider‑Man films.

Fans might not see actor Tom Holland in new Marvel movies because a fresh deal cannot be reached over the character.

The film rights to the superhero are owned by Sony ‑ but he could appear in movies like Avengers: Endgame due to a deal between Sony and Marvel Studios ‑ owned by Disney.

Sony says it hopes things "might change in future".

In a series of tweets, Sony thanked Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige for his "help and guidance" with the franchise.

Much of today’s news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige’s involvement in the franchise. We are disappointed, but respect Disney’s decision not to have him continue as a lead producer of our next live action Spider-Man film. (1/3)
