Spider-Man Spin-offs Not Part of MCU

Hollywood Reporter journalist Borys Kit has confirmed that Sony's new Spider-Man spin-offs are not going to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At this point, it's unclear who the Spider-Man of these films is. The most likely explanation I see is that they're part of their own universe and Spider-Man will simply never be seen on camera. The other options would be to have Tom Holland play two different versions of Peter Parker or have two Spider-Man actors at the same time. Both of those would be confusing to mainstream audiences. Heck, even this is more confusing than it needs to be. Sony probably just wants more independence with the Spider-Man franchise.

These movies are NOT part of the MCU. Kevin Feige NOT involved. https://t.co/rwoXHS6uxV
