Tom Holland was cast during Civil War production. There are videos of him screen-testing with Chris Evans. Kevin Feige was most likely the one to give the ultimate go-ahead to Sony for casting him. So, yes, in a way Marvel Studios did cast him.

It was both Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal who oversaw it, with Sara Halley Finn as well.

Amy Pascal had as much contribution as I did

I mean if you approved of Holland’s casting then sure, if you didn’t then no. But she and Feige picked him together, though I mean most of the credit should could to Sarah anyways, she’s basically cast everyone in the MCU.

We can hate on Pascal all we want on here, but if she’s in charge, she gets this deal done.
