One can say Spider-Man: No Way Home is the culmination of all Spider-Man films starting from Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield to ending with Tom Holland’s MCU/Sony’s shared universe version. But is the upcoming Marvel threequel a curtain-calling flick for the 25-year-old actor? Not quite, in fact, it may have kicked off an entirely new trilogy of films starring the friendly neighborhood superhero.
As Spider-Man: No Way Home nears its release, Sony Pictures & Marvel Studios have begun addressing what’s in store for fans in the future after the much-anticipated third installment wraps up Spidey’s arc which began with 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Fortunately, veteran producer Amy Pascal has offered hope after confirming more new Spider-Man-based films featuring Holland with Marvel Studios involvement.
Sony & Marvel Studios relationship continues with 3 more Spider-Man films
Speaking to Erik Davis’ from Fandango, the former Sony Pictures boss assured the two studios are not done working together in producing further Spider-Man movies. She stated:
“This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie,” Pascal revealed. “We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”
Tom Holland addresses if he wants to continue playing Spider-Man
It must be noted Pascal has been pivotal in establishing Spider-Man at Sony since Maguire’s Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi. Furthermore, she was vital in the negotiations with Marvel Studios to sign a never-before-seen collaborative deal where Sony, which owns the rights to Spider-Man worked with Marvel Studios to produce Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Holland has been vague about his interest to pursue playing Peter Parker in Marvel films and is currently more interested in playing other roles in Hollywood. The star will next be seen in Sony’s Uncharted film.
“Listen, all I’ll say is we have some very, very exciting things to be talking about,” Holland said on Quotidien, a French talk show. “I don’t know what those things are or what they will transpire to mean. But it looks like it’s an incredibly bright future ahead, and as I’ve said before, Spider-Man will forever live in me.”
UPDATE: An earlier version of this story referred to Amy Pascal as current Sony Producer, it has been rectified.
It will be interesting to see how No Way Home’s multiverse narrative will impact Sony’s Morbius and Venom franchises. In any case, the wait won’t be long as Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives a day earlier in India on December 16.
