Disney, Sony strike deal to keep Spider-Man in Marvel movies
The agreement between the Hollywood studios was welcome news to fans who had feared that a corporate dispute would keep Spider-Man out of the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe .In August, Disney-owned Marvel Studios and Sony’s Sony Pictures were at an impasse over Spider-Man’s future. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character under a long-standing arrangement, while Disney controls others such as Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain Marvel and Black Panther.
The news about the breakup had disappointed fans, who took to Twitter to start a campaign with hashtags “#SaveSpiderMan” and “#SaveSpidey”. Under the new deal, Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will produce a third film starring Holland that will be released on July 16, 2021, a statement from the companies said. Amy Pascal also will be a producer.
The most recent film in the series, June release “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” ranks as Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film, fetching $1.11 billion at global box offices.Reporting by Ayanti Bera in Bengaluru and Lisa Richwine in Los Angeles; Editing by Patrick Graham, Arun Koyyur and David Gregorio
