Actor Dave Bautista says he feels Marvel Studios will one day reclaim the Spider-Man franchise, which they had sold off to Sony in 1985.

The 48-year-old wrestler-actor says he is eagerly waiting for Spider-Man: Homecoming which is a collaboration between the two studios, reported FemaleFirst.

“Spider-Man is the one I’m really looking forward to. I love that kid - I love Tom Holland. I also love that they’re staying so true to the comics with this whole series and I think that’s because Marvel Studios has gotten involved.

“I think before, I think it was Sony who had control. And I think they’re doing a partnership now, but I think they will - I don’t know this for sure - but I think they’re going to reacquire Spider-Man,” Bautista said on Talk Is Jerichos podcast.
