“The idea of actually removing Spider-Man from the MCU seems like a big potential mistake.” “When you get the combined power of bringing two entities that serve as the custodians of Spider-Man together, it is a very powerful combination that individually may not have enough heft on the creative and marketing sides,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore, told Observer. Disney and Sony’s collaborations have proved extremely fruitful for both sides in a way that could set a precedent for more creative agreements between them, and even other companies and franchises, moving forward (more on that in a bit). Spider-Man: No Way Home-which is heavily rumored to delve into the multiverse, feature characters from various Spidey-franchises such as Jamie Foxx’s Electro and Alfred Molina’s Dock Ock, as well as previous iterations of Peter Parker-could go in a completely unexpected direction that sets up the next stage of the character’s journey.
