(Culver City, California, and Burbank, California February 09, 2015) – Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of Spider-Man.

Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.

Should've made the bet that Andrew Garfield won't be in the next Spider-Man movie.
Honestly this is a smart move considering the quality of movies Sony has produced in general from the last 4 years.

Its for the best. ASM franchise was terrible, they clearly didn't had a direction for the series, might as well give the fans what they want and collab with the big successful moneymakers at Marvel Studios

RIP Andrew Garfield

Good news on the Spider-man movie front? * looks outside at the ice and snow * Yep, froze over it did!

Hallelujah!

I'm very eager to see now where things will go from here. The fact that it's a partnership deal ensures that at least both companies will make a shared profit off of it.

Will this now affect the upcoming Civil War movie? Will they try to shoehorn in a Spidey movie into Phase 3?

[Shawn Hopkins]

Ugh, I dunno. Sony made him all sticky.

[Vortex85]

Nice, I just hope it's good and nothing like the Utimate Spidey cartoon. Please god...spare us.

RIP Andrew Garfield

Pretty sure his career will be fine.

I'm sad that Garfield may not be returning.
