I guess Sony is hedging their bets? Maybe Holland's future as Spiderman is somewhat uncertain. If he doesn't agree to play the role for another 10 years, they can now introduce their own Spiderman?
Yeah I dunno, the whole universe thing, I thought like a drop of symbiote was left in Holland's or something...I dunno. Don't really care to be honest. I do like the Holland Spider-man's and would be totally fine if Venom and/or Kraven just showed up (honestly I thought they missed it after End Game. He easily could have brought something back from space). I have a feeling Hardy is probably good with leaving Venom behind and it's an easy character to literally just attach to someone else.

If I were Holland's agent I would be hard balling each new contract for minimal movies with maximum payment, but with a long term view of playing Spiderman probably until he's 40 or as long as he can. Why not? The dude is almost 30 still looks like a teenager and he's really great. Good enough and popular enough that he could basically demand to do it how he wants and be rich AF. Look at RDJ. You can be Spider-man and win Oscars in Nolan movies. You could do Peter Parker's whole arc into adulthood and retirement and bring in Miles Morales for passing the torch etc... Any long term planning at all and Sony can make a lot of money making some good movies that people like. Their track record without Marvel guiding the ship is pretty crappy though.
