A new Spider-Man trilogy has recently been announced, but as exciting as it is, the confirmation is bad for Spider-Man was almost pulled out from the MCU in 2019, but also indirectly affects Spider-Man: No Way Home in a negative way.
After the divisive response to Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield's MCU’s biggest movies, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Now, he gears up for his sixth time portraying the iconic Marvel superhero in Spider-Man: No Way Home. But before the threequel even hits theaters, it's already been announced it won't be the actor's final outing as the wall-crawler.
The news of an next Spider-Man trilogy and what happens in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
It was interesting how Pascal just casually dropped this information in an interview, and it's curious if it had been the plan all along or if she decided on the spot to share the major development. While Sony owns the character rights to Spider-Man, Marvel Studios is every bit involved with regard to crafting where his personal story goes. So, there are also questions about whether or not the confirmation had been discussed with Feige and his team. Aside from its negative impact on how Spider-Man: No Way Home is perceived, Sony also missed making a big spectacle out of this announcement. Both Marvel Studios and DC Films have staged various types of events to reveal new projects and offer updates for existing endeavors, and they typically draw a lot of attention. Considering how popular Spider-Man is, Sony could have organized something similar to drum up hype for its own burgeoning comic book franchise.
While Sony can no longer take back how they revealed the new Spider-Man trilogy, it can learn from this and be more strategic in their future announcements. As mentioned, perhaps the studio can stage a special event sharing more information about Holland's future rather than just casually dropping them in an interview. Finally, they should focus on promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home; granted that fans are already sold on the movie even with a lackluster marketing campaign, they should also be able to pique the interest of casual moviegoers.
