With an 11th hour appeal, it was Tom Holland who saved the day by convincing Disney-Marvel and Sony to keep Spider-Man from leaving Marvel Cinematic Universe, just yet.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter, the young actor made multiple appeals to Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger and Sony film chairman Tom Rothman to reach a resolution less than six weeks after a very public breakup.
Holland's perseverance paid off and in a shocker, on September 27, the two companies announced that a deal was struck to bring out a third "Spider-Man" film together, and for the character to appear in at least one additional Disney-Marvel film.
The 23-year-old actor made a surprise appearance at Disney's D23 Expo days after the divorce to promote the animated movie "Onward".
He earned big cheers by thanking fans for support and quoting Tony Stark: "I love you 3,000."
