It’s not every day you get to sit down with two Hollywood heavyweights in the bracket of Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige. In London to promote Spider-Man: Homecoming, we spent some time with the former head of Sony and the current Marvel president to discuss their groundbreaking collaboration.
We spoke about the dynamic behind the Sony/Marvel partnership on this production, and what fans can expect of this latest reboot of the Spider-Man character. We went on to speak about Tom Holland and the benefit of having a younger actor play the aforementioned role, and what it is about this character that makes him such a popular mainstay in the superhero universe.
We also took this opportunity to speak about future productions, discussing Black Panther, and whether we may see another Ghostbusters sequel. We also wanted to find out about other MCU characters and whether the studio has any ambitions to explore their stories, such as Captain Britain – as well as whether we may see the Osborns feature in any future Spider-Man movies. We also ask about Venom and Silver and Black, and whether fans can expect any future crossovers.

Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.
