Fan prayers were answered earlier this year, when Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures announced a deal to cooperate on future Spider-Man movies and allow the character to appear alongside others in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said, “The one thing that hasn’t been able to be explored in the other five movies is his relationship to the broader Marvel Universe.”
And with the newly cast Tom Holland playing a Peter Parker that’s up to eight years younger that his predecessors.
Feige said,“You look at the early comic books of Spider-Man and what was so great about what Stan Lee and Steve Ditko did was they said what if one of the most powerful heroes we have is a high school kid who also has to do homework and isn’t a billionaire, or isn’t a genius scientist, or isn’t a trained assassin, or isn’t another scientist who had an accident but is a kid?”
