RUMOR: Marvel to Meet With Sony In January To Discuss Spider-Man
And the Spider-Man drama continues. Back when all this mess began to unravel, it was said that a meeting was to occur between executives from super hero powerhouse Marvel and the struggling Sony to see if something could be hashed out to include Spider-Man in the MCU. Since then, we’ve heard nothing more on the topic, as the focus has been turned to Andrew Garfield’s status as the web-slinger.

This morning, we come to you bearing a holiday gift in the form of a scoop. According to our sources, a meeting with executives from Marvel and Sony is to be held in January at Pinewood Studios, where the Avengers, along with numerous other popular movies, has been filming. This meeting of the minds will include Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal. We don’t have a ton of details, but we should have some “good news” come February, or at the very latest, just before the release of Age of Ultron in May, which makes a little more sense.

One plan, according to the source, is that Marvel would include an after-credits stinger that would center on Spider-Man. As we can expect, filming for Captain America: Civil War is gearing up for a February/March start, so the timing would certainly fit to get something like this filmed. Our source tells us they are prepping 3 stages at Pinewood in anticipation of the Cap 3 project.

It appears that Feige is very pleased with the direction things are going in regards to a deal with Sony. As we know, Joe and Anthony Russo will be directing the third Captain America film, but they also plan on directing The Gray Man for Sony, before going on to (reportedly) direct Avengers: Infinity War. The plan, according to our insider, is that the Russo Brotherswould then tackle a new Spider-Man trilogy, taking on directing and writing tasks. They don’t have anyone cast yet, but they certainly have a list of potentials they are going over once the deal is done.

Kevin Feige is very adamant about one thing: He wants Avi Arad out and Marvel seems to be backing him on this. Should this deal happen, Arad will be nowhere near the Spider-Man movies. However, Pascal and other Sony execs feel he’s a crucial part of the previous Spidey films and feel he needs to stick around.

If you ask this nerd, and many will agree, I feel that Arad has been the one holding the franchise back and that should this deal happen, Marvel will win on that front. Sony is over a barrel and they know they need Marvel to keep Spider-Man relevant at this point.

We’ll be sure to update should we have more information come our way, but it appears talks between Marveland Sony are far from over and that Marvel is pleased enough with the talks that they are already looking at a list of names to take on the mantle of Spider-Man. Things will need to move quickly once the deal is done in order to be ready for filming in a few short months.

Editor’s Note: This is the same source who provided info on Vision‘s look in Avengers: Age of Ultron. That one turned out to be pretty good. Check that story out from the Comic Book Therapy days.

Sony & Marvel's Spidey Plan Already Wrapping up. Set to Be Announced at Spidey Summit (self.Spiderman)

submitted 16 hours ago * by insider89film

Just got word from a trusted source of mine over at Disney that sometime within the last week or so, Sony Japan and Sony Pictures renegotiated a deal with Marvel Studios. Nothing has been made 100% official yet, and the final decision is still set to be made in January at Sony's "Spidey Summit", but all of the plans are now in place. If Sony agrees to the deal, Marvel will then hold creative control over future Spidey films while Sony gets a share of the profits he makes, with marketing and distribution rights for all standalone films.

Spider-Man would be joining the MCU in a small but important cameo in Cap 3, with the first movie of a new franchise already being prepped for a 2018 release date. Marvel plans on skipping the origin story altogether for the first film and will jump right into Spider-Man being a hero for a few years, likely in college or just afterwards.

Marvel has already begun development on the script, and has begun looking at potential directors for the Spider-Man reboot. Marvel will not be bringing Andrew Garfield onboard, but has talked to him separately about possibly joining Marvel for another role in a future film of theirs.

Marvel already has a shortlist of actors in mind for the Peter Parker role that includes: Anton Yelchin, Dylan O'Brien, Freddie Highmore, Thomas Mann, Logan Lerman, Michael Angarano, Douglas Booth, Nat Wolff, and Skandar Keynes.

Announcement from Sony & Marvel coming sometime in late January/February, assuming the deal becomes official.

:ohhh:

I'm guessing we getting Peter Parker and not miles morales. Woulda been dope to have he black spidey. Kinda goes with the whole clean slate thing. But I digress.

This shyt sounds too good to be true. No origin story? An experienced spider man ready to take on all of MCU? :ahh:

Cameo as soon as 2016 :kris:

Based on that list, I'd go with Yelchin or Lerman. Outside of those two and Freddie Highmore, I need someone to tell me who they are because the names aren't familiar but I've felt for a while Lerman would be a good spider-man. Yelchin too based on Charlie Bartlett

Edit: Dylan O'Brien is one of the guys on Teen Wolf and he was in The Internship. He'd be a good pick too

Movie whould have been garbage

I know breh. I know. It would've been as bad if not worse than the one more day arc in the comic. And I don't even dislike that because it split MJ and Pete up, I dislike it because it betrayed damn near everything about the characters involved and that's what that spider-man 4 would've done. Black Cat becomes Vultress? And Vulture's daughter? Who then decides to take over the Bugle? Peter kills someone?? No thank you

Right but at least with spider-man 3 he could say that the studio put some things on his plate he didn't want; but for 4, this was a story he helped with and scripts he oversaw with writers he picked. I read it and knew it was time for him to go. Marc Webb had good intentions but got swallowed up in the behemoth known as Avi Arad man. That's the one thing every situation has in common. And I knew Andrew was going to be on the bad side of some people when he came out and said as much a couple months ago. Whatever they do with the character, whatever studio gets him, Avi Arad needs to be as far away from it as possible.
