Unless something drastic happens in the coming weeks, Spider-Man's time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has reached its end. However, with multiple reports doing the rounds about what comes next, some very interesting new details have been revealed about Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige's involvement in Sony Pictures' Marvel movies.
Buried in
Deadline's report about the split is the fact that Feige
"lent an unofficial hand" to
Venom, but that reportedly happened long before the final cut was delivered.

Instead, it was Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman who
"spent a good long time in the editing room" and, well, he was also in charge of Fox when those changes to Deadpool were made in
X-Men Origins: Wolverine and for the release of the
Fantastic Four reboot in 2015. That probably explains why
Venom received a critical mauling when it hit theaters last October.
io9 also notes that Feige has contributed to a number of Sony/Marvel movies without being credited, so there's a chance he played a role in
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse too. It's hard to say.
What are you guys hoping comes next for Spider-Man?
