Get your super-collider ready, Spider-Man fans -- there are plenty of multi-dimensional stories left to tell in the Spider-Verse! Marvel moviegoers got a major thrill on Friday when it was announced that the highly anticipated sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse now has an official release date: April 8, 2022. The official Twitter account of the Oscar-winning animated film shared the news first, teasing on Thursday, "Something's up.

On Friday, the parties announced that Marvel would again have a hand in producing the next sequel, and that Spider-Man would appear in another upcoming Marvel feature. In a statement, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige said he is "thrilled that Spidey's journey in the MCU will continue." The result benefited both sides, with Sony releasing the hits "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Spider-Man: Far From Home," and the character appearing in several Marvel movies, including the "Avengers" saga. In August, however, the relationship broke down, with the announcement that Feige would no longer oversee the production of the Spider-Man movies. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" has grossed more than $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the third most lucrative movie released in 2019, behind "Avengers: Endgame" and "The Lion King."

Tom Holland is finally addressing those steamy photos of him with an unnamed woman at a festival in July. When asked if he felt like the scrutiny surrounding his personal life has reached new heights, Holland responds, "Yeah. Holland also responded to pushback surrounding Spider-Man leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing his confidence in Sony. I really am nothing but grateful, and I've made friends for life along the way."

Tom Holland is keeping his spirits up amid news that Spider-Man was divorcing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On Thursday, Holland and Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr., goofed off in a selfie amid the Sony-Marvel drama. Sony Pictures has owned the movie rights to Spider-Man since before Marvel Studios became its own studio. Following The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony and Marvel Studios' parent company, Disney, struck an unprecedented deal that allowed the two companies to share Spidey. Through the original deal, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige became a lead producer on Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequel, Far From Home, which starred Holland as the eponymous superhero.

Fans found out on Tuesday that Spider-Man will no longer be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the general consensus was one of crushing disappointment on social media. Now, it seems that Sony is as "disappointed" as everyone else about the news, according to a statement the studio released Tuesday evening. "Much of todays news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feiges involvement in the franchise," the studio said, referring to the president of Marvel Studios. What is known is that -- barring a future change of direction, or Disney outright buying Sony -- Spider-Man will almost certainly no longer be a part of the MCU in any capacity.

Gwyneth Paltrow is defending her skills in the kitchen. While lending a hand in the kitchen, Paltrow hilariously revealed that she doesn't remember being in Spider-Man: Homecoming. "We weren't in Spider-Man," Paltrow replied, to which Favreau said, "Yes, we were. "I mean I've only worked with Gwyneth one time -- on Spider-Man: Homecoming, which she doesn't remember," he told Popsugar with a good-natured laugh.

(CNN) - Did Philadelphia's friendly neighborhood "Spider-Man" just escape an apartment fire? The fire department responded to the fire around 9:30 p.m. Thursday in West Philadelphia, according to CNN affiliate WPVI. When they arrived at the 19-story high-rise, they saw a truly shocking sight: a man climbing down the outside of the building to escape the fire. The fire was believed to have been started by a trash compactor, said WPVI. The building was evacuated, and while some residents were unaccounted for, no injuries have been reported, the station said.

It seems that Tom Holland isn't totally sold on Jake Gyllenhaal's impression of him. "That was good," Holland said, smiling, as he pantomimed Gyllenhaal's impression. Another hilarious impression included Gyllenhaal's take on Al Pacino, in which he paraphrased the actor's infamous Scent of a Woman quote "Hoo-ah!" Spider-Man: Far From Home is in theaters now.

The stars of Spider-Man: Far From Home took the time to brighten some very special fans day. On Thursday, June 27, Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zendaya visited the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, where they surprised some young patients who were right in the middle of watching an advance screening of the new movie. "We are here about to surprise some of the patients here," Holland explains in a video while dressed as the web-slinging superhero. Next, they went room to room chatting with the young patients, signing autographs and snapping photos. Holland never misses a beat, responding, "I actually used all my webs on the way over here."

Far From Home tackles both head on, with delightful irreverence and a little Whitney Houston. (Regarding the former, yeah, it's convenient that the handful of Peter's classmates we care about were all blipped up.) It's a different flavor than Peter and Tony, than Fury and any of the other Avengers. Far From Home sticks the landing, and that might be the most important thing it needed to do after an utter behemoth like Endgame.

When Tom Holland swings back into theaters in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home, it'll be his fifth time portraying the friendly neighborhood web-slinger, and he's been a part of some great on-screen team-ups. Holland is of course referring to his Far From Home co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays the aptly named Mysterio. Gyllenhaal walked the carpet alongside Holland, and the young star joked about their similar stylish looks. For his part, Gyllenhaal has nothing but praise for the Spider-Man star and his unparalleled dedication to the athleticism and physicality of his character. Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters July 2.

Before he entered the Ed Sullivan Theater in Midtown Manhattan, Holland helped a young lady who was being pushed by autograph hounds. I got you, Holland told Cassidy Ariel as she was being pushed into barricades. Ariel found herself in a throng of eager fans outside the theater as Holland showed up. Holland told the people around Ariel back up and made sure she was alright. Holland didn't dish on the drama during his appearance on Colbert's show, but this fan said she will never forget Spider-Man coming to her rescue.
