Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirms new Spider-Man film already in works

Spider-Man: No Way Home only hit UK cinemas this week.

But the film’s producers have already confirmed they are working on the next instalment which will see Tom Holland’s Peter Parker appear on the silver screen once again.

Sony producer Amy Pascal, 63, insisted she was sure No Way Home would be a success after fans were left concerned it may be the last Spider-Man film when Sony threatened to pull to plug on the franchise after 2019’s Far From Home.

But this week she insisted she loves working on the movies while Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, 48, confirmed another project is in the works. 

Reassuring fans the franchise will continue, Amy told The New York Times: ‘We’re producers, so we always believe everything will work out. I love working with Kevin [Feige].’

Marvel Studios head Kevin reiterated Amy’s positive outlook, confirming: ‘Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about — yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next.’

He added: ‘I only say [that] outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after Far From Home. That will not be occurring this time.’

Amy and Kevin’s comments come after Spiderman: No Way Home received rave reviews this week.

The film is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and follows the 2017 film Spiderman: Homecoming and 2019’s Spiderman: Far From Home.  

Tom Holland, 25, reprises his role as the titular character from earlier films while his new girlfriend Zendaya, also 25, returns to the series as well.

‘What could easily have felt like one of those tacky Disneyland parades, where all the princesses are assembled to do fan service, instead finds a strong emotional foundation,’ wrote Peter Debruge for Variety.  

The Hollywood Reporter writer John Defore’s reaction to it was more tepid, writing: ‘Some of the fan service plays fairly well here; some is unsubtle enough you expect an actor to look into the camera and wink at you after delivering his line.’

He continued: ‘But in the end, Spiderman: No Way Home does use its multiversal mayhem to address the only real problem with the Holland-era web-slinger: the Iron Man-ification of the character, in which his already amazing powers keep getting overshadowed by the gadgets given to him by billionaire jerk-hero Tony Stark.’   

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly wrote the movie goes much father than simple fan service.

‘So it’s safer maybe just to say that what seems at first like pure fan service turns out to be some of the best and by far the most meta stuff Marvel has done, tender and funny and a little bit devastating,’ she wrote. 

As for the action sequences in the film, Rolling Stone’s David Fear wrote: ‘What we can say is this: Spiderman: No Way Home is a perfectly fine superhero movie. It has a couple of great set pieces — the initial fight between Ock and Holland’s Spider-Man is proof that director Jon Watts has gotten increasingly better at staging these kinds of things; there’s a dizzying chase through Escher-like cityscapes that echoes a similar sequence in the first Doctor Strange movie, yet still feels inventive.’
