When that will change - there'll be something to talk about. Yeah, But the question is will the deal remain that way? The Current Answer is probably yes, Both Sony and Marvel are making out really well with this deal. Marvel has one less $200M movie to finance but they still have full creative control and the benefits of him in the MCU. Some fans probably still like the idea of having Spidey wholesale but this is a pretty darn convenient compromise. So yeah, For now, Spider-Man remains a Sony property. 10 Questions Raised By Spider-Man Announcemnt Mind, that only Spider-man MOVIES are Sony property ;-) Marvel still hold all the ancillary rights for Spidey: comics, video games, etc - including all the merchandise rights. So all those SM toys, T-shirts and even cereal will bring some money into Disney's house.

Now about the "will the deal remain that way" thing. It's contractual, and I doubt that both parties would delve into it in the first place, if it's just for one movie. My guess is they're signed for at least 3 Spidey solo-movies (and 3 crossovers). Remember, that Tom Holland signed a deal for 6 movies - 3 solo & 3 "other MCU". Although, that doesn't really mean anything (legally) for the company, I think it's an indication sign, that they want to produce at least a trilogy about Spidey, while also using him in other films - possibly Infinity War (mb just one of them). Does other include Civil War, because he was only in that for ten minutes. Yeah, He signed up for Captain America: Civil War and two more MCU movies (probably Infinity War and Avengers 4 or Iron Man 4) other than his MCU Spider-Man trilogy, That makes a total of 6 movies which is a much longer run than Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man.
