More Spider-Man films in the works following ‘No Way Home’

With "Spider-Man: No Way Home" now out in theatres, Disney and Sony are actively beginning to develop where the web-slinger's story goes next, according to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

His comments came in an interview with The New York Times, for which he sat down with former Sony exec and franchise producer Amy Pascal. "Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about — yes, we're actively beginning to develop where the story heads next," said Feige, "which I only say outright because I don't want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after 'Far From Home.' That will not be occurring this time."

Feige was alluding to a period between August and September of 2019, following the release of the Tom Holland-led sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home, which saw financial negotiations surrounding the future of the franchise break down between Disney and Sony. Had they not gotten back on track, Feige would have exited his involvement with the Spider-Man films, with Spider-Man himself exiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Pascal subsequently noted in the New York Times interview that there is plenty of more story to explore with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, given the way in which "No Way Home" closes out.

"At the end of the movie we just made, you see Spider-Man make a momentous decision, one that you've never seen him make before," she notes. "It's a sacrifice. And that gives us a lot to work with for the next film."

However, officially, Holland is not signed on to star in any more movies at this time, even if development on a fourth Spider-Man film following "No Way Home"  is already in its early stages.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland suggested that he might step behind the camera to produce the fourth film, with a new actor as Spider-Man. "There have been conversations about the future of Spider-Man. Whether it will be with me, I'm not too sure yet. Maybe I'll be a producer or something, I don't know," he said.
