In 2019, Sony and Marvel Studios made headlines due to their rift related to Spider-Man movie rights. The deal between the two which allowed Peter Parker to appear in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) expired after Spider-Man: Far From Home. Initially, they did not come to term on a new deal, but following the involvement of Tom Holland, the studios found a middle ground and settled on a fresh agreement. Now, MCU’s Peter Parker actor believes that the two companies would not have such a situation ahead and they have worked out future Spider-Man movies.
