SPIDER-MAN fans are boycotting the latest movie in the franchise following a reported stand-off between Disney and Sony.
Deadline reports that Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige is not going to make any more Spider-Man films because the two big-screen giants failed to strike a new agreement.

That means Tom Holland’s character will cease to exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside the likes of Tony Stark and Thor.
There is now set to be a split between the web-slinging Marvel comics star and the ultra-successful superhero movie franchise.
Many fans wasted little time calling for a boycott of the hit movies – while others went further still and said that actor Tom should refuse to play the character.
One tweeted: “Tom Holland should boycott and drop out of Spider-Man 3 to force Sony to work with Marvel. Spider-Man 3 would TANK without Holland & the MCU behind it.”

Another said: “The best way to show our response to Sony after cutting ties with Marvel is to boycott Sony’s biggest upcoming blockbusters. Let them Know we want Spider-Man where he belongs!”
A third fumed: “I suggest we boycott the next Spider-Man film so Sony gets the point that Spidey made money off the backs of MCU movies and without that they won’t make as much.”
Another fan added: “I’m absolutely broken about Sony trying to remove #SpiderMan from the MCU after how close he was with Tony Stark. A real d*** move on their part.”
They added the hashtags: “#BoycottSony #BoycottSonySpiderMan.”

The stand-off between the studios reportedly stems from a reworking of the deal that would have seen Disney getting a 50-50 stake in the upcoming Spider-Man movies.
Kevin Feige’s previous last two movies broke two records, with Disney’s Avengers: Endgame the highest grossing film of all time and Spider-Man: Far From Home the highest-grossing film for Sony Pictures.
