Remember a few weeks ago when Spider-Man was kicked out of the MCU?

Well, guess what? Sony Pictures and Marvel have found a way to get back in the Spider-Man business together.

The two companies announced Friday, September 27 that Kevin Fiege will produce the third film in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” series and Tom Holland is returning to play our beloved spidey.

According to Variety.com, The new deal was signed late Thursday night. Negotiations involved top players from both studios, including Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman, Feige and Walt Disney Studios co-chairs Alan Horn and Alan Bergman.

In exchange for lending Feige’s producing prowess, Marvel and Disney will receive roughly 25% of the profits, according to insiders. Disney will retain its merchandising rights and will put up roughly a quarter of the financing. As part of the arrangement, Spider-Man will also appear in one future Marvel Studios film.

The film is scheduled for July 16, 2021.
