A sequel should be inevitable when a movie grosses $2 billion at the box office, especially in the middle of a global Pandemic. That isn't the case with Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film was the biggest hit of the past few years and the studio would love to make a sequel, but there are big questions about when it will happen.
In an interview with Deadline, Sony chairman TomRothman addressed the question. He said that they hope to get working on the next Spider-Man movie, but when he asked if director Jon Watts and stars Tom Holland and Zendaya would return, he said no.
He used the word "hope" twice in those quotes, and it's what an executive has when he just made a hit. There are many reasons why. It is getting everyone back together. That is a complex equation that involves contracts, money, schedules, and the needs of two studios, and it is also the case with the characters.
A worthy story is arguably a bigger part of the equation. No one involved with Spider-Man: No Way Home would want to taint the ending with a paycheck. In the same interview, he says it's not the main motivation. It would be worth coming back for.
The opportunity is there. No Way Home ends with Spider-Man continuing his work on a smaller, more anonymous basis now that no one in the world knows who he is. Trying to win back the love of his life while also battling a new foe seems inevitable. A person with the power to do it is very encouraging.
