Marvel Studios and Sony to Share Spider-Man in New Collaborative Deal

[Biff Pow!]

Recasting is fine (though not necessary), but please don't reboot again...

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.

I dont think marvel will make the same mistake twice. Im sure the contract is 1 million pages long and it was heavly discussed prior to the agreement

I think a reboot is a must. We dont need t he origin again. Maybe through flash back but thats about it

Exactly.

There's no need to go into his origin story again but for him to join up with the MCU a re-boot is needed.

Just do it like the Incredible Hulk and show his origin in flash back.

Details leaked in emails laid out a plan that had Spider-Man appearing in Civil War before starting a new series of movies in which he is older and already well established as a hero. So fears of an origin story (if that's what you mean by "reboot") can probably be put to rest.

This situation isn't entirely new to Marvel. Remember, Hulk was technically a reboot as well. They solved that problem by containing the origin in the opening credits. I reckon they'll do something similar. It's not like it's a complicated story, it's only 11 pages long.

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

I'm sorry, but I'm approaching it as another vehicle for Batman. I mean, rightly so because as the next quote states...

The last two Batman films made a billion dollars each. That isn't competition?

Marvel's been churning out multiple successful films between the Batman ones. I'm not really sure Batman is much of a threat anymore. The sky is the limit for Marvel now with Spider-Man being added to the MCU and Stars Wars being added to the publishing division.

They've already said they are. This new Spider-Man is showing up in a Marvel movie first, and then he'll star in his own new movie.

Poor Andrew Garfield. He was a great Spider-Man.

But, there's always the greed factor...

[Captain M]

Poor Andrew Garfield. He was a great Spider-Man.

But he was a terrible Peter Parker.

[KurtW95]

One thing I absolutely DO NOT want is Spidey on the Avengers. He's NEVER worked in that role.

Agreed. 100%. And I do not want him revealing his identity to the world like in Civil War.

No he wasn't. He was great. And Emma Stone was a great Gwen Stacy.

There is no way Spider-Man is not going to join the Avengers. The collective eyeballs of every Disney exec turned to dollar signs at the mere prospect.

Imagine all the merchandising revenue a bunch of Spider-Man/Avengers crossover stuff is gonna bring in.
