Spider-Man Returns to Marvel; New Movie Coming in 2017

[DemonGeminiX]

In a superhero reunion, Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced a major partnership with Marvel Studios that brings new Spider-Man movies into the Marvel cinematic universe.

The next Spider-Man film will hit theaters on July 28, 2017.

Sony has owned the feature rights to Spider-Man since 1999, when Marvel sold the character for $7 million.

According to the announcement, Sony and Marvel will cast a new Spider-Man after Andrew Garfield starred in the last two films, “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Tobey Maguire played Peter Parker in the previous three installments for Sony.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige will produce the rebooted Spidey with Amy Pascal, who recently stepped down as co-chairman of Sony in a new producer deal. She oversaw the $4 billion Spider-Man franchise for over 13 years at the studio.

Sony will continue to distribute, finance, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man pics.

They’ll work with Marvel, owned by Disney, on how to weave Spider-Man’s character into Marvel’s upcoming superhero films, which includes the popular franchise “The Avengers.”

As Variety previously reported, Marvel plans on bringing the Civil War storyline from the comic books to launch the next phase of films. It’s very likely that Spider-Man will make his first appearance in “Captain America: Civil War” next year.

To make room for Spider-Man, Disney has rescheduled a number of Marvel tentpoles, including “Thor: Ragnorak,” which was originally planned to open on the July 28, 2017 date. It moves to Nov. 3, 2017. “Black Panther,” which had the Nov. 3 date, will now move up to July 6, 2017.

Marvel’s “Inhumans,” meanwhile, has now moved back to summer 2019 while “Captain America” moves back to Nov. 2018.

Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said in a statement: “Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s great characters, beloved around the world. We’re thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building.”

“I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie,” said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. “Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world’s most beloved characters. Marvel’s involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU.”

Sony chairman Michael Lynton added: “This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans.”

Now if Marvel can get the FF and the X-men back...

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Oh boy! Another reboot!

[DemonGeminiX]

A movie produced by Marvel (if Sony's smart). I don't like the idea of another origin story, but Marvel has been close to perfect with producing their films. If anybody can do Peter Parker right, it's the company that created him.

[DemonGeminiX]

And they really need him in the MCU. He's a big part of the Avengers.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm just tired of reboot after reboot after reboot....it's fucking ridiculous

[DemonGeminiX]

They might not tell an origin story. They might handle the origin the way they did in The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Or, maybe we'll get super lucky and we'll get a black or hispanic Spiderman

[DemonGeminiX]

It would have to be Hispanic. Johnny Storm is gonna be played by a black guy in the FF reboot.

[DemonGeminiX]

There's a separate character called Spider-woman.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I think that they should make the reboot Spiderman a pre-op tranny

[DemonGeminiX]

So Spider-man can become Spider-woman in a sequel?
