The co-director of Avengers: Endgame Joe Russo has spoken out about Sony's decision to axe Spiderman from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, he said Sony's failure to reach an agreement was a "tragic mistake."
Last month the news broke Spider-Man would exit the Marvel
