Update: Sony's spinoffs and the MCU here.
In a t interview, former Sony executive Amy Pascal and Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed that there is a possibility that Tom Holland's Spider-Man could crossover into Sony's Venom and Black Cat/Silver Stable movies.
Many fans have questioned the entailments of the deal that Marvel and Sony struck in 2014 to get the Sony-owned Spider-Man into the world of the Avengers. Specifically, Spidey fans have wondered about the chances of crossover if Sony continued to develop spinoff feature films with characters like Venom and Black Cat.
In an Spider-Man: Homecoming, Pascal and Feige were asked about the relationship between Tom Holland's Spider-Man and the spinoff films. Pascal takes the lead in answering the question, confirming that the possibility for crossover has been discussed:

Pascal describes the spinoff films as "adjuncts" to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, separate asides that have tangible attachments to those films but don't necessarily officially become parts of the same films This does seem to create a bit of confusion on the situation, as just days earlier Feige told a news outlet that there were no plans to have the Venom film crossover into the MCU. So it appears that these films will take place in some kind of limbo area. Audiences won't hear about characters like Iron Man, Captain America and Thor in Venom and Black Cat/Silver Stable, but they will get to see the Spider-Man who fought with those heroes interacting with his classic foes and allies.

This kind of crossover on this big of a scale is unprecedented, as we've seen characters cross over between the films in their universes before but never into two completely separate universes. When Marvel requested to use Spider-Man for Avengers: Infinity War, they did a complete overhaul on the character, ditching the established Andrew Garfield and going for a more youthful interpretation. The announcement by Pascal has a bit of a "never say never" air to it, but if this does come to fruition, comic fans will get the best of both worlds with this Spider-Man adaptation.
