It certainly looks as if Sony and Marvel Studios don't appear to be on the same page regarding what Sony's planning with their
Spider-Man and
Silver Sable/Black Cat spinoff movies.
Speaking to JoBlo, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige reaffirmed earlier statements that only Tom Holland's
Spider-Man will be joining the MCU.
"
Right now, Spidey is in the MCU and it's just Spidey. Civil War, Homecoming, we've already shot a lot of Tom Holland's scenes in the upcoming Avengers films, and we're just starting to solidify our plans for Homecoming 2 - we won't call it that, whatever it is - which is exciting because it'll be the first MCU movie after untitled Avengers in 2019. It'll be the way Civil War informed everything in Homecoming, those movies will launch him off into a very new cinematic universe at that point. Those five movies are we're focusing on. "
In short, Marvel's relationship with Sony only pertains to those five films-
Captain America: Civil War,
Spider-Man: Homecoming,
Avengers: Infinity War,
Avengers 4 and the
Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel.
Feige's statements regarding Marvel's deal with Sony have never wavered from when the existence of the unprecedented deal was first revealed back in February 2015. Yet Amy Pascal's recent comments last week that Tom Hardy's
Venom will "
take place in the Spider-Man: Homecoming universe" have sent the internet into a tizzy.
Either Marvel's deal unexpectedly opened the door for other Sony characters to join the MCU or Pascal simply was confused by the question. However this shakes out, expect further clarification from both camps as we draw closer to Spider-Man: Homecoming's July 07 release date.
