Back in August, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans received quite a scare when it was announced that Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man would no longer be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After a tense month, Sony and Disney finally reached a deal that would allow a third MCU Spider-Man movie as well as one appearance by Holland in another, yet to be announced, MCU film. Now that the drama has died down, it’s safe for Holland to start posting fun Spider-Man content again. For the last couple of months, the actor has been busy filming Cherry, a new film from Avengers: Endgame directors, Joe and Anthony Russo. However, yesterday, the actor took to Instagram to share some love for his onscreen best friend, Jacob Batalon.

“My everything,” Holland wrote.
“🍍❤️😍😘love you boo. Imma see y’all soon I swear😚,” Batalon replied.
In fact, Batalon posted his own message of love for Holland:
“Me and you against the world,” he wrote.
“Forever and always,” Holland replied.
Back in October, Sony’s Tom Rothman and Disney’s Alan Horn discussed the future of Spider-Man with The Hollywood Reporter.
“Will this partnership continue after the trilogy? Tom, you’ve shown you can do Spider-Man without Marvel on the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” THR asked.
“Yes, we have. But I agree with my distinguished colleague. This was a classic win-win-win. A win for Sony, a win for Disney, a win for the fans. The only thing I would say is that news cycles and the rhythm of negotiations do not necessarily overlap. And this is, in the words of Shakespeare, a consummation devoutly to be wished. We would have gotten there, and the news got ahead of some things,” Rothman answered.
“I agree with that,” Horn added.
