On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host recalled how the last time Iger was on the show, he spoke about how Holland helped smooth things over between Sony Pictures and Marvel. Partly thanks to Holland, Iger and Sony film chairman Tom Rothman reached a new deal that calls for one more Spider-Man film that can feature characters and stories from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will see Disney take home a higher producing fee for their involvement in the film than previous Spider-Man movies. "I'm glad you got drunk and got on the phone with Bob," Kimmel told Holland.
