Disheartened fans across the globe, demanded the web-slinger be brought 'home', and raged at the studios expressing their anger and disagreement with the new advancement, as Disney and Sony failed to propose a mutual agreement to keep Spider-Man part of the MCU. The split, however, lasted only a few weeks. To save the character, Tom Holland made a plea to Disney’s CEO Bob Iger and discussed about protecting the super-hero for another hit script.
