But, unbeknownst lớn Pascal, Feige had something else in mind for Spider-Man : a future in the MCU.
A Preemptive Plan khổng lồ Get Spider-Man
According to Tara Bennett & Paul Terry"s The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , days before Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige decided khổng lồ meet with Sony Pictures Entertainment"s then-co-chairperson, Amy Pascal, Feige "scrambled together an impromptu, mini-creative retreat" with the intent on making "a battle plan" khổng lồ present khổng lồ Pascal that would deter Sony"s plans for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 :

"A few days ahead of their lunch, Feige scrambled together an impromptu, mini-creative retreat with their bộ vi xử lý core creative producers. If there were even the slightest chance Peter Parker could be part of the MCU, Feige wanted to lớn have the bones of a battle plan already figured out."
This impromptu retreat was held in a rented khách sạn in Santa Monica for two days in Spring of 2014. Only the executive producers at Marvel Studios knew why they were there, while everyone else was told it was a "get-together."
At that hotel, Feige & the rest of the executive producers discussed their game-plan lớn break a khuyễn mãi giảm giá with Sony and, if successful, what story they would tell with Peter Parker:
"With no time khổng lồ spare, Feige announced an "all hands on deck" situation: Every executive producer at Marvel Studios had lớn be part of a secret, two-day long, off-site retreat, held in a rented hotel space in Santa Monica. No one else at Marvel Studios was told about what they were doing, just that it was a "get-together." In that closed room, two questions were posed: If there were an opportunity khổng lồ broker some kind of giảm giá with Sony, how would it work? & if they leveraged something like a five-picture deal, what stories would they want lớn tell?"
Something that everyone at the retreat quickly agreed on was keeping Parker a teenager in high school. Not only would it allow Marvel Studios a different "playground for ideas & storytelling," but if a multi-picture khuyễn mãi giảm giá was reached, they could further explore Peter"s "growing pains" as Spider-Man:

"One thing that they all quickly agreed on was that they didn"t want lớn take Peter Parker out of high school. The idea of Peter experiencing the day-to-day-events of school life, lượt thích school trips, homework, và a homecoming dance, was such an exciting—and, for Marvel Studios, a totally different—playground for ideas & storytelling. And, if there ended up being a multi-picture khuyễn mãi giảm giá available, they loved the notion of exploring the growing pains of an adolescent Spider-Man over numerous, interconnected stories."
As the retreat finished, "With a good sense of how they would like to handle the character, Feige was ready for his lunch with Pascal. What he wasn"t ready for was Pascal"s reaction to lớn his proposal. "
A Bright Future for Peter Parker in the MCU
It should be evident that despite Spider-Man: No Way home being the last headlining film in Tom Holland"s contract as Peter Parker in the MCU, that doesn"t mean Spider-Man will be leaving the MCU any time soon.
In April, it was revealed that Disney had made a "massive movie licensing pact" with Sony Pictures that "promises khổng lồ bring Spider-Man and other Marvel properties" khổng lồ Disney+ beginning in 2022. Therefore, it would be an odd giảm giá for Sony lớn strike if they did not plan on renewing their contract with Disney and Marvel Studios for Holland"s Spider-Man.
