Spider-Man pulled out a super achievement on Friday: He managed to stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After weeks of negotiation between Sony, which owns the cinematic rights to Spider-Man, and Marvel, it was announced that Marvel's Kevin Feige will return to produce another Spider-Man film. The webslinger will also appear in a future Marvel Studios film, the studios noted in a joint release.
Tom Holland, who plays Spidey, was a little bit excited, posting a clip from The Wolf of Wall Street to emphasize his happiness.
And Holland's co-star, Zendaya, who plays MJ, shared a dancing Spider-Man clip, so safe to assume she's also psyched about the news.

And people who didn't star in the movie also were pretty enthused. "Welcome home, Peter," one Twitter user wrote.
"The world is in perfect balance again," wrote another.

And more than a few social-media mentions were of Kevin Feige, a favorite of Marvel fans.
"Kevin Feige might be the most popular guy in the country right now," wrote one Twitter user. "I know this will NEVER happen but Feige is now my dream candidate to replace Bob Iger as (Disney) CEO."
Ok. Kevin Feige might be the most popular guy in the country right now. I know this will NEVER happen but Feige is now my dream candidate to replace Bob Iger as CEO.

As excited as I was for Kevin Feige to produce a Star Wars movie, I thought it was the final nail in the coffin for Spidey and Sony was right about him being busy... but holy shit, Feige REALLY gets to do it all.

So, reputedly...Spidey's going to remain in the MCU? ...and he may possibly crossover into Sony's Venom down the line?

I seriously hope there's no strings or bullshit attached to this, because that's ridiculously exciting.
