New Spider-Man movie boycotted by furious fans after Sony removes iconic character from Marvel franchise

SPIDER-MAN fans are calling for a boycott of the next movie in the franchise because of a row that has booted the superhero out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Currently, Tom Holland's web-slinging crusader appears alongside the likes of Iron Man and Thor in Disney's Avengers franchise.

reports that, amid a stand-off between Disney and Spider-Man producers Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is not going to make any more Spider-Man films.

That means there is now set to be a split between Spidey 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 23-year-old 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.

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.

Brit actor Holland has previously confirmed that he is due to play the hero in a third move for the franchise after Homecoming and Far From Home.
