In December, Spider-Man: No Way Home will wrap up a trilogy of movies starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but it won’t be the end of Holland’s run as the wall-crawling superhero. In a new interview, Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal revealed that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are already planning a new trilogy of Spider-Man films.

“This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel,” Pascal told Fandango. “[This is not] the last Spider-Man movie. 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 on to the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies … Marvel and Sony are going to keep going together as partners.”

These films were the result of an unprecedented 2015 deal between Sony Pictures and Marvel/Disney to share custody of Spider-Man and bring the iconic hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holland made his Spider-Man debut in Captain America: Civil War before headlining Spider-Man: Homecoming. Holland reprised his role as Spidey in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame before once again starring in his own solo film, Spider-Man: Far From Home.

However, a disagreement between Disney and Sony nearly derailed plans for any future collaboration with Marvel in 2019. Disney, which owns Marvel, wanted a larger percentage of Spider-Man’s box office receipts in exchange for co-financing a percentage of the movies with Sony. This briefly led to Spider-Man’s exit from the MCU, which sparked a public backlash once the news got out. Holland took it upon himself to urge Sony and Disney to return to the negotiating table. Their subsequent agreement allowed No Way Home to once again take place in the MCU as a coproduction between Sony and Marvel Studios.

There have been other signs of a warming relationship between Sony and Marvel regarding Spider-Man. Holland’s Spidey is a primary feature at the recently opened Avengers Campus at Disney’s California Adventure theme park, complete with his own ride. A new MCU Spider-Man animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, was announced during Disney+ Day. This series will explore Peter’s life before he met Tony Stark in Civil War. Sony and Disney have also reached an agreement on bringing the Spider-Man movies to Disney+ at some point in the future.

Spider-Man: No Way Home will hit theaters December 17, and tickets are already on sale.

10 best Spider-Man stories ever, ranked
Spider-Man sticks to a wall in a Marvel comic.

There's no rest for Marvel's famous web-slinger. Spider-Man is, perhaps, the most popular superhero across the entire pantheon of Marvel heroes. For decades, the spunky young hero has been pummeling criminals with both his fists and comical wit. He's moved from the pages of comic books to headline several TV series and blockbusting cinematic adventures. Spider-Man's presence in the pop culture fandom simply can't be understated. And with recent storyline innovations and animated adaptations like Across the Spider-Verse, Peter Parker is just one of countless wall-crawlers who dons the title. Each Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, or uh, Spider-Rex (that's right, there's a T-Rex with spider powers) has their own story and individual capabilities.

Whether we're viewing the world from the Peter Parker lens or any of his countless inter-dimensional compadres, there's a wealth of Spider-Man stories at our fingertips across multiple mediums. In our multimedia age, Spider-Man is everywhere and some of the best stories featuring the iconic hero aren't always within the pages of comic books. So, if you're looking for a Spider-Man story oozing with thrills, character-centric story arcs, and enthralling conflicts, look no further than our handy list featuring Spider-Man at his best.

7 best Spider-Man characters who’ve never been on the big screen

Since making his debut in 1962, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s Spider-Man has remained one of the world’s most popular and prolific superheroes, with the character often featured in multiple monthly comic titles and animated series at the same time. Maintaining that kind of cultural footprint is only possible with the help of an absolutely massive supporting cast of friends, allies, and enemies.
It’s a testament to the depth of Team Spider-Man’s bench that there have been 10 feature films starring the character and there are still a few major names who are waiting to make their big-screen debut. Whether they’re too new to have been included in the earliest Spider-Man movies or too important to be lumped in with a dozen other characters in a crossover film, each of these seven Spidey stalwarts is bound to get their day in the spotlight, some sooner than others.
