What wonderful news to hear, and it makes sense given how well Spider-Man: No Way Home has done in theatres despite the COVID-19 pandemic that’s still going on. The film brought in previous Spider-Man movie actors in Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx to name but a few.
Honestly, without Marvel Studios’ help in making the movie, I think Sony Pictures would have found making such a Spider-Man coherent very difficult. They need each other and it seems to be a working relationship that is only getting better with time.

Makes sense. I imagine Sony has probably made far more money from the MCU Spidey movies than they did from their earlier ones, so it makes financial sense to continue.
Kevin Feige has a track record of taking what traditional Hollywood studios would consider enormous and unacceptable risks, and every one of those risk paid off enormously.
Marvel has been able to produce stories from the comics that I never would have imagined could ever be brought to the big screen.
