Suggested correction: The Spider-man trilogy aren't technically MCU films although Spiderman has appeared in MCU films and characters from MCU have appeared in this. As Spider-man is still own by Sony...at this point its just character cross-overs and little else. MCU still don't have full ownership of Spider-man yet.

Gavin Jackson

That's incorrect. All 3 films were co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony. Tom Holland's Spider-Man IS part of the MCU because Sony shared the rights to the character and the films are not only set in the MCU, but part of the franchise. It should be noted that Marvel Studios and the MCU are two separate things. The MCU doesn't really own anything because it's the setting, not the company.
