Earlier this week, an interview at Fandango with producer Amy Pascal saw her comments about the future of Tom Holland’s version of Spider-Man, and the Sony-Marvel relationship, spread far and wide.
Pascal, who ran Sony Pictures for a decade until 2015, said in that interview that the upcoming “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was “not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie.”
She then added: “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.”
That naturally led to a lot of excitement, but now a report at THR has thrown a bucket of cold water on any premature excitement saying:
“Sony insiders note though the studio has a strong relationship with Holland and Feige and hopes to continue their collaboration, there are no official plans for a trilogy at this phase.”
In other words no deals have yet been made so nothing is locked in at this point. We’re just two weeks away from the debut of the new “Spider-Man” which will hit cinemas globally on or around December 17th.
Pre-sales have been so robust that according to CNet, scalpers are already showing up on eBay trying to sell opening night tickets for thousands of U.S. dollars.
