There were many who assumed that Holland would follow the rights of the character; which have been confirmed to be reverting to Sony Pictures after the conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Does this mean that other Sony Spiderverse characters could appear in the MCU? it certainly wouldn’t surprise us, but the important thing is that Tom Holland will continue as Peter Parker, and allow the MCU to grow around his presence as perhaps the most popular character in comic history.
