Will Spider-Man Be Back In The MCU This Weekend?
Buh-bye Spider-Man in the MCU? Not so fast, True Believers.
Depending on who you read (J. Jonah Jameson excepted, please) the powers that be might be making moves to keep Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Brinksmanship?
An important thing to keep in mind: The entire story of the failed deal is probably part of a strategic play by Marvel or Sony, or even both studios, to gain an advantage in negotiations. Leaking this kind of news riles up fans who have taken a liking to the MCU iteration of Spider-Man and actor Tom Holland’s portrayal of him, and whose interest has led to positive audience reviews and huge box office hauls for 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and this year’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Back It Up
Today, We Got This Covered posted:
Though everybody knows how the last attempt at negotiating went down, the House of Mouse is ready to step up to the plate again.
While Spider-Man fans have been mourning the apparent exiling of their hero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe all week, Sony’s made it clear that they’re willing to open the conversation back up. Earlier today, rumors came about that Disney was considering a new deal with Sony that would not only see the entrance of Venom into the MCU but also lay the way for Tom Holland to return for at least six more movies – with an option for a seventh.
This intel, provided by TVO of the Lords of the Long Box YouTube channel, comes after a painfully grim week of Spidey news. With this whole fiasco proving that there’s such a thing as bad publicity, TVO claims that Disney now hopes to relieve its fans with some good news before Saturday’s Marvel panel at the D23 expo, with the company, said to be looking to finalize a new deal before the weekend.
Announcement: This Weekend?
Well, D23 has officially started, and we haven’t heard anything yet. But, hey, tomorrow’s Marvel panel in Anaheim might be an excellent time to push out some happy news, no?
