Spiderman: Sony disappointed over Disney split

Sony says it is "disappointed" not to be working with Disney on future Spider-Man films.

We might not see actor Tom Holland in new Marvel movies because a fresh deal can't be reached over the character, BBC News reports.

The film rights to the superhero are owned by Sony - but he could appear in movies like Avengers: Endgame due to a deal between Sony and Marvel Studios - owned by Disney.

Sony said it hopes things "might change in future".

In a series of tweets, the company thanked Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige for his "help and guidance" with the franchise.

Feige played a big creative role in the last two Spider-Man films, starring British actor Tom Holland, and successfully integrated the webslinger into its multi-billion dollar Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
