According to this Varety article, Spiderman will be staying with the MCU after all. Recently, we were all dismayed by the news that Spiderman would be leaving the MCU because Disney and Sony could not agree upon a deal which satisfied both. But the romance is back on, and Spidey stays.

After briefly breaking up, Sony Pictures and Marvel have found a way to get back in the Spider-Man business together.

On Friday, the two companies jointly announced that Marvel Studios and its president, Kevin Feige, will produce the third film in the “Spider-Man: Homecoming” series. It will once again feature Tom Holland reprising his role as the titular hero. The rumor mill roared back to life this week with hints that the two companies were close to brokering a new agreement.

Over the summer, news broke that the Disney, Marvel’s parent company, and Sony had reached an impasse over a new financing deal. Disney wanted the film to be financed on a 50/50 basis, with Feige remaining in a consulting producer capacity. Sony is believed to have proposed keeping the arrangement under the current terms, which stipulate that Marvel receives about 5% of first-dollar gross and all merchandising revenues.

Good news indeed! I am sure Tom Holland is very happy.

That is good news. Not just for Tom Holland but for Marvel fans as well.

There are multiple rumor mills out there saying that the reason they were determined to keep Spidey is they want to partner him with Captain Marvel as a way to "humanize" her some (apparently audiences in surveys and test groups found her cold and off-putting).

Yes, and there are also several rumors about Brie Larson going to Star Wars in the next trilogy. But I had not yet heard anything concrete.
