That's a really helpful explanation of what Sony can/can't do, Murali9395.

If an agreement can't be made about keeping them completely separate, I'd hope that it just happens that Peter Parker looks like Tom Holland and has a very similar backstory in what is technically two separate universes. Even though that will be frustratingly confusing to a lot of people and could potentially cause the MCU to undeservedly lose some integrity with general audiences if these films are sub-par, at least they wouldn't technically be part of it.
