Since Sony and Marvel partnered to bring Spider-Man to the comic book company's cinematic universe, it's not been known which studio would have creative control over Spider-Man: Homecoming.


In an interview with HeyUGuys, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talked about his company's relationship with Sony and how the upcoming movie is coming along, revealing that Marvel is calling the creative shots onHomecoming.

"Well, I've known all those people [at Sony] for a very long time. Amy Pascal, Tom Rothman, who runs Sony now, I've known for years. So, it’s been great," he explained. "They really are supportive in allowing us to make the creative decisions to make that movie, but they've been great partners. So far so good on that movie."

Feige also talked about how Robert Downey Jr. read with Spider-Man actor Tom Holland during his audition, saying that "it was seeing Tom and Robert together which made [them] realize Tom was by far the best choice."

You'll be able to see Holland as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, which hits theaters on May 6. Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Iron Man in that movie, but he's also set to join the cast of the upcoming Spider-Man movie.

Thankfully Sony will have nothing to do with it. We don't need another new origin movie.

Should make this a teeny bopper movie imo. Get some of that Hunger Games audience

Well when I found out Sony/Marvel got the deal done with Spiderman for Marvel, I knew Marvel would take control of the character. Marvel is saying, Sony let us take control of Spidey, you had your chance to make decent movies with him, let us get control of it and show you how it's done.

Great news, Sony was on a good track and then fell off the track with The Amazing Spider-Man 2
