Kevin Feige Says Spider-Man Deal Wasn’t ‘Meant To Last Forever’

In an interview with EW at D23, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige spoke about the news that Sony and Marvel failed to reach a new deal for future Spider-Man films. Feige said that the deal between Sony and Marvel was never meant to last forever.

“I’m feeling about Spider-Man, gratitude and joy. We got to make five films within the MCU with Spider-Man: two standalone films and three with The Avengers. It was a dream that I never thought would happen. It was never meant to last forever. We knew there was a finite amount of time that we’d be able to do this, and we told the story we wanted to tell, and I’ll always be thankful for that.”

Tom Holland, who of course is the latest actor to play Spider-Man, briefly commented to EW about Spider-Man’s “different” future.

“The future for Spider-Man will be different, but it will be equally as awesome and amazing, and we’ll find new ways to make it even cooler.”
