While the specific terms of the arrangement between Marvel and Sony have never been disclosed, it’s obvious that Holland is largely restricted to appearances within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (where his Spider-Man movies are set) and not in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, where all of the company’s other superhero titles take place. In the years since Spider-Man shifted over to the MCU, Sony has produced six Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man in them, a concept that sounds like a joke from The Studio — except even Matt Remick wouldn’t make a Kool-Aid Man movie without the Kool-Aid Man in it. Best of all, they are filled with a comical amount of Spider-Men and Women: Peter Parker, obviously, but also Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, a noir Spider-Man, a future Spider-Man, a robotic Spider-Man, a cartoon ham Spider-Man, a Spider-Man that’s a horse, and so on.
