Seems this just broke, Marvel tweeted it out a few minutes ago..

 

 

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.

So...IMO Spider-Man will make an appearance in a Marvel movie before Civil War. That leaves, Ant-Man as the only chance? Even if it's just an after credits scene, I would think they'd do it before the next Captain America. Or do they just throw him into the mix in a big role?

Holy poo can't believe they actually worked it out.

Latino review has an epic spoilery scoop about where Spidey may show up in the MCU. It was on their site a few weeks ago....I'll try and find it.

Edit: here it is...take it as the rumor that it is, but this could spoil lots of poo if it's true...which at least the Sony deal part was right

Interested to see how they can incorporate Spidey without it feeling rushed if, as it seems, the plan is to use him in Civil War. Apparently they're rebooting the character and re-casting. I could actually see them using Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker, though I'd personally be against that. Plenty of time to introduce Miles down the road and give viewers the original Spider-Man as part of the larger MCU.

It's interesting that they're scrapping the ASM franchise and rebooting Spidey again. I'm not sure how they'll make it work having him appear in Civil War, TBH. If they're not doing the first MCU Spidey movie until after Cap 3 it's going to be tough to have him play more than a cameo role in Civil War.

 

What I'd do is skip over the origin story quickly since we've had 2 major movies in 12 years do it and everybody already knows the basics anyway. Like, have the post-credits scene after Age of Ultron be Peter Parker (early 20's aged) be bitten by the spider and at the start of Civil War have him be a new face on on the hero scene as Spider-Man and use him that way.

 

Then in the MCU Spidey film tell the origin briefly as flashbacks and start fresh following the events of Civil War.

Saw this this morning and freaked out. It concerns me that Sony is still retaining "creative control" but I think theyre smart enough not to exert that too heavily at this point.

I am concerned at how this may force Marvel to scramble to change stuff. Civil War was already being written. Are they gonna stuff in Black Panther, Hawkeye, AND Spidey now? Or will he replace one of them? That makes sense within the scope of the story but may be a bit much in practice. It'll be nice to have all those stupid spinoffs Sony was going to do off-deck though.

I think Sony is relenting creative control to Feige and Marvel Studios. Sony will have "final creative control", but I don't think Feige would have made the deal if he wouldn't ultimately have his vision put in place. Now that Spidey will be a part of Marvel Studios, everything he does from here on out will ultimately fit in to the larger "Marvel Cinematic Universe".

 

 

 

What's interesting is Avi Arad was not mentioned anywhere in the Marvel press release. Arad has been the lead guy for Spidey at Sony and he basically ruined Spiderman for them...so for that we should be thankful, because if Spidey wasn't such a disaster at Sony they wouldn't be making this deal with Marvel.

The more I think about it, and granted it's not my original thoughts, but...

Spidey comes in during a post credits scene after Ant-Man or even Avengers 2. Then, he shows up in Civil War because duh.

This is followed by the Spidey stand-alone as the Avengers as we know them now are all elsewhere (dead, in space, their home planet, yada yada)...followed by Spider-Man leading a team of 'new' Avengers in the first battle with Thanos, followed by one helluva reunion to defeat him in Part II.

Avengers IV, featuring Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, Ms. Marvel, as well as old friends like Thor, Ironman, Hulk, Captain America (Bucky?), the Inhumans, the Guardians, and whoever else wants to show up (Netflix series characters?). Getting all the actors to play nice money wise could be an issue, but it would hands down be the biggest box office hit of all time.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
