Well, this is unexpected! After a very public falling out, Disney/Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have come to terms on a deal which means that Kevin Feige and his studio will produce Spider-Man 3. That means the wall-crawler is staying in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...for now, at least!

The movie has been given a release date of July 16th, 2021 which makes it part of Phase 4.

"I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it," the Marvel Studios President says.

"Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold." In other words, it sounds like we should expect Peter Parker to appear in the Spider-Verse too!

This is very exciting news, and it's going to be interesting to see where things go from here. It's possible the deal could go beyond a third instalment, but at least this means we could end up with a definitive ending to the hero's story in the MCU before he starts swinging into some of Sony's franchises (it's still entirely possible he'll make a cameo appearance in Venom 2).

How do you guys feel about this news?

Wow, what an amazing and surprising turn of events. Always had a feeling they would work this out and have him return for at least one more MCU film, but holy shit didn't expect it this soon. Magnanimous freaking awesome news!!!!

bropous - 9/27/2019, 8:43 AM

@HeavyMetal4Life - Yup, I am quite pleased. But how will this affect the slate of films already announced?

HeavyMetal4Life - 9/27/2019, 8:45 AM

@bropous - it won't affect the slate at all, this movie is coming out in July, the other Marvel movies are February, May and November.

RegularPoochie - 9/27/2019, 9:10 AM

@bropous - They were always going to release Spider-Man in 2021 in phase 4, but then shit went down.

bropous - 9/28/2019, 8:53 AM

@HeavyMetal4Life - FOUR Marvel Studios in one year! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

Let's hope Apple buys sony soon so we don't have to go through this heartbreak again.

@theprophet - Apple buying Sony would be [frick]ing terrible, I don't know why people on this site fetishize big corporate mergers so much

Another well-deserved win for Marvel Studios!
