... And? Last I checked Batman movies are big earners.

Don't like it. Echoing what everyone is saying...that they still have creative control is troubling. Seems like aside from pretending to issue another Marvel film that Marvel got the rough end of the deal. "Here use our house for the party but make sure everyone knows its our house okay?"
The power of greed continues.

[QUOTE=Username taken;927448]No mention of Avi Arad in the press release.
I bet the guy is going full supervillain now.[/QUOTE]
:D
I'd buy him as Nitro, the villain who sets off the events of Civil War.

Another Spider-Man reboot, [I]awesome[/I].

Sony has the power of veto and they could be dumbasses about it but if they don't play along with Marvel and Kevin Feige then they've basically wasted this opportunity.

[QUOTE=Angelo2113;927390]I enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man 2 more than the past few Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, other than Winter Soldier. Disappointed to see this happen if they're going to re-cast and reboot.[/QUOTE]
I feel the exact same way about the movies. I'm expecting a really generic Spiderman movie ala Norton Hulk.

[QUOTE=Rogue Star;927500]Are you saying "another Batman film" isn't competition???[/QUOTE]
It really isn't. Batman films come out all the time and Marvel carries on. All the other characters in BvS are supporting characters to Batman. The movie will do fine, but DC's track record to doing anything worthwhile with their movies outside of Batman is really stretching it thin.

Get JK Simmons to reprise J. Jonah Jameson

Yeah no it's not. And even if it was, the last two Batman movies each made over a billion dollars. And this one has Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in it. So yes, it'll be an interesting competition.

In a way, it's kind of a good thing that Spider-Man is being introduced so late into the MCU. Now that the world is well established, with The Avengers, and HYDRA, and Asgard, and the Infinity Stones, and all this other crazy shit already already being introduced, Peter Parker can fly under the radar now.

Still they might get a lot of hype when Spider-Man inevitably joins the Avengers.
Also looks like this cover predicted it.

No they're not. You need to stop making crap up.

[QUOTE=CrazyOldHermit;927489]It is rather strange that Marvel is treating it like another movie in their roster when it's essentially a freebie that they aren't financing or distributing.[/QUOTE]
It was prob in the agreement that Marvel wouldn't put things out the same date as Sony.

[QUOTE=CrazyOldHermit;927416]
They didn't make this deal last night. I wouldn't be surprised if they already had Spider-Man cast and ready to shoot.[/QUOTE]
If they had already recast and had an actor ready for Civil War they would have announced it with this. Seeing as they didn't I don't think they are far enough along with that to have Spidey have a major role in CW.
