What this deal means is that all future Spider-Man movies will be co-produced by Marvel and Sony. The first movie will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then, Sony will release a movie on July 28, 2017.
That film will be produced by both Kevin Feige (Marvel) and Amy Pascal (Sony).
There are still a lot of questions regarding this partnership and all future movies. We are not yet sure how this affects the Sinister Six movie, Venom or The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Most likely ASM3 will be scrapped all together. Sinister Six was supposed to come out next year, so that means it is either scrapped or will just bet set back a few years. Not much was ever released on the Venom movie so the future of that is unknown as well.
Perhaps the biggest rumor and question is who will play Spider-Man? Some websites are saying that Andrew Garfield is completely out and others say that he is still in. Right now, no one really knows except for Marvel/Sony. Personally, I would be happy to see someone else play Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield was the reason why I hated the first Amazing Spider-Man. The second movie was better but for me, that was because of Electro.
As much as I think that it is wonderful that Spider-Man is partially home with Marvel, it is a little bit of a cause for concern. There will be two different companies working on the same movie. That means, two different teams of creative minds and opinions. The movie will show how well that they all worked together. If the planning/producing process doesn't go to well, the audience will be able to tell once the movie is released. It's a big risk but hopefully this partnership produces a much greater reward.
