As things currently stand, there are no plans for Sony Pictures and Disney/Marvel Studios to strike a deal to keep Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
That's a shame, but it's just the wall-crawler's new reality and it means we're now going to see him cross paths with the likes of Venom and Morbius, the Living Vampire. However, one person who isn't overly excited about the prospect of a third
Spider-Man movie not set in the MCU is Kevin Smith.
"Far From Home is predicated on ‘I miss Tony’ so much, if the next movie is like ‘Tony who? Where’s Uncle Ben?’, like it’s going to be a real f***king letdown I feel," he says on his latest podcast. "But they still get to keep all those kids, right? Like all the people in this world are the same, they just can’t reference the Marvel Universe? It’s going to be a bummer, I really hope they figure that out."
There's no way Sony Pictures doesn't pay attention to this sort of thing and they're bound to know that the response to Spider-Man no longer being part of the same world as The Avengers has been overwhelmingly negative. Money talks, though, and a deal does appear to be pretty unlikely.
As a result, the pressure is on the studio to ensure that the third chapter is truly spectacular!
