Tom Holland Helped Save<br />‘Spider-Man’ Negotiations According to the Hollywood Reporter,<br />Tom Holland was a driving force behind<br />the reconciliation of Disney and Sony. Holland reportedly made persistent appeals to<br />both Disney CEO Bob Iger and Sony chairman<br />Tom Rothman to save their ‘Spider-Man’ partnership. His upcoming role in Sony’s ’Uncharted’<br />apparently played a role in his ability to<br />persuade Rothman to re-engage with Disney. The outcry of fans on social media for Holland<br />to be allowed to remain in the Marvel Cinematic<br />Universe also reportedly influenced their final decision. The ‘Spider-Man’ agreement between<br />Disney and Sony initially dissolved on Aug. 20<br />when Disney sought a 50-50 co-financing deal. Following Holland’s push to continue negotiations, the two studios announced an agreement<br />for a third ‘Spider-Man’ movie on Sept. 27. The new agreement will also allow Holland<br />to appear as Spider-Man in at least one<br />upcoming Disney-Marvel film.
