No mention of Avi Arad in the press release.

I bet the guy is going full supervillain now.

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.

A re-cast needed to happen before the first movie was even completed. Andrew Garfield is a 31 year old man playing a kid who just graduated from High School. No way do I believe that for a minute. Sony should have cast Garfield as College-age Spidey, that would have been way more believable.

For starters we are, i think most mcu fans are now hoping for the same thing now that sony have made the move. And also marvel will always have to try compete even if they got their rights back............ummm DC

By "we" you, the OP, and probably a few others, but I, and the non comic reason movie going public probably aren't. So "we" is used pretty loosely.

DC, sure, but that's still a largely unknown entity. And from what I've heard, they're not on the best track plan wise, so competition is still uncertain. I don't care much for the MCU, but theyre movies people seem to like.

Wow, I didn't expect this to ever materialize. Still wary about Sony "retaining final creative control", but I'll be happy to see Spider-Man join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Thor is pushed to November 3, Black Panther is pushed to July 6 2018, Captain Marvel is pushed to November 2 2018 and Inhumans is pushed to July 12 2019.

Well that sucks enough. I would rather Thor get moved to one of those days and either Black Panther or Captain Marvel get bumped up to Thor's date.

Actually, now that I think of it how could would it be for Spidey's first appearance to be in Dr Strange?



It already happened.

Well...okay then. Color me surprised. I think that's a bad move on Marvel's part, especially since it creates a nearly two-year gap between introducing the Black Panther (in someone else's movie) and then getting back to him to capitalize on it.

[Rogue Star]

cant be excited enough, great news. Ultimate peter parker i think may be the way to go, miles would be cool roo

Lol - looks like you got so excited that you turned into Scooby Doo before you could finish your sentence. No worries, I do that a lot myself. xD

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

Well...okay then. Color me surprised. I think that's a bad move on Marvel's part.

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.

Marvel would still have competition if they had all of their characters...

That's not really competition. It's basically another Batman film.

[Rogue Star]

That's not really competition. It's basically another Batman film.

Are you saying "another Batman film" isn't competition???

[choptop]

so is Garfield out? is AS3 and Sinister Six canceled?

[Sans Simian]

Best response yet, and exactly the first place my mind went to.

No mention of Avi Arad in the press release.

Imagine how different the MCU would be if he had been given the reins instead of Fiege. The horror...
