Yesterday, Marvel fans rejoiced when it was announced that Disney and Sony have come to a new agreement that will allow Spider-Man to remain in the MCU for at least a couple more movies. Mainly, Spider-Man 3 will be produced by Marvel Studios and is set to drop in July 2021. What with all the celebration of Tom Holland sticking around the franchise, though, another major benefit of the deal has been overlooked. And that’s what we now have four MCU films coming in 2021.

Marvel revealed their initial slate for the year back at this summer’s Comic-Con. As such, we know that in February arrives Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Starring Simu Liu and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, while May brings us Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sorcerer Supreme alongside Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff.

In the original line-up, the next MCU entry would’ve been Thor: Love and Thunder from Taika Waititi, featuring Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman. But now, Spider-Man 3 will step in between DS2 and T:LAT to fill the vacent summer blockbuster slot.
