Spider-Man: No Way Home is a 2021 feature film directed by John Watts and starring Tom Holland. Plans for a third Spider-Man film were announced during the filming of Homecoming. In August 2019, negotiations between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios to change the terms of a deal - in which the studios are jointly filming Spider-Man films - culminated in Marvel being suspended from work on the project. However, a month later, following fan backlash, the two companies struck a new deal.
