Marvel's Kevin Feige to Produce Next Installment of the Spider-Man Franchise with Amy Pascal

(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.

The new relationship follows a decade of speculation among fans about whether Spider-Man – who has always been an integral and important part of the larger Marvel Universe in the comic books – could become part of the Marvel Universe on the big screen. Spider-Man has more than 50 years of history in Marvel's world, and with this deal, fans will be able to experience Spider-Man taking his rightful place among other Super Heroes in the MCU.

Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said: "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."

"We always want to collaborate with the best and most successful filmmakers to grow our franchises and develop our characters. Marvel, Kevin Feige and Amy, who helped orchestrate this deal, are the perfect team to help produce the next chapter of Spider-Man," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans."

"Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the future," added Doug Belgrad, president, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group.

"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. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

ITS HAPPENED! FINALLY SPIDER-MAN IS HOME! AHHHHHHH!

@Mecha Spider-Man is taking back his throne as Marvel king! Good job keeping it warm for him Iron Man.

Not going to lie, I literally cried. This is the best news since the Batman v Superman announcement.

@Mecha The first film is July 28, 2017!

So I'm guessing his first MCU appearance will be in Civil War?

@Mecha More than likely since they said he's going to appear in the MCU before his solo film.

Poor Andrew Garfield.

@Mecha Fuck Andrew worst Spider-Man.

@yonny616 Still better than Tobey. ;-)

@Mecha At least Tobey's Spider-Man films didn't range from average to shit.

Anyway after settling down this is false hope given to us by Marvel.

@yonny616 It's probably misquoted or something. Anyway, I don't think Marvel would have agreed to this if they didn't have enough creative control.

@Mecha It comes straight from Marvel's press release. I doubt they misquoted themselves.

@yonny616 Lets worry about it later. Lets just be glad Spider-Man is coming back where he belongs.

@Mecha

Yes! Great news!!!!!!

All hype lost, not going to watch any of the new Spider-Man movies.

Damn, what a buzzkill.

SINISTER SIX Still In Development; SPIDER-MAN Expected To Appear In CIVIL WAR

Quote :

The Wall Street Journal has some very interesting details about the Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures Spider-Man deal, and they reveal that it was still dead as of December. Obviously that rumoured "Spidey Summit" in January changed things, and Marvel will now have to scramble to make some changes to Captain America: Civil War as the site has heard from their studio insiders that it is indeed the movie which Spider-Man will first appear in (which was obvious, but not guaranteed at such a late stage). As for Sinister Six, they add that while it will no longer be released next November, "The studio will rethink its approach to the film, which remains in development, in light of the new agreement with Marvel." It was clear in those leaked emails that Amy Pascal was keen on making that one happen, and you have to wonder now if it will somehow be reworked into being that 2017 Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man: Sinister Six anyone? Marvel do have a relationship with Drew Goddard after Daredevil. In other news, an official Spidey Twitter account has launched!

GOD DAMMIT! Y R U PLYIN WITH MAH EMOTIONZ SONY!?

Hopefully, Sinister Six isn't shit.

I still don't like the idea of a Sinister Six movie. HOWEVER, now that Spider-Man is already established in the MCU, The Sinister Six already existing makes sense. Where as in The Amazing Spider-Man movies it didn't, since Spider-Man didn't even get to fight most of the members like Doc Ock, Mysterio, Vulture, Kraven, etc. Yet they were getting ready to make a Sinister Six movie? That was stupid.

I would be happy to just have The Sinister Six as villains in a Spider-Man movie, instead of Marvel / Sony making their own version of Suicide Squad.
