Spider-Man's future up in the air as Sony-Disney spat continues

Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, also was featured in MCU films such as this year's 'Avengers: Endgame,' the highest-grossing film of all time

A dispute between Walt Disney Co. and Sony Corp. threatens to end their co-production of “Spider-Man” films, according to people familiar with the situation, putting the future of one of Marvel’s most beloved characters up in the air.

The two sides haven’t been able to agree on new terms for their partnership, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Talks are ongoing, one of the people said.

Sony holds the film rights to the popular Marvel character, even though Disney acquired Marvel Studios for $4 billion in 2009.
