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.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
