Likely won't happen. The leaked emails showed the talks breaking down and Sony deciding to not go through with it. We'll see of it changes, but I have my doubts.
I've been reading some stuff about this. There was some rumoring of Sam Raimi taking back over to some capacity (be it producer or whatever). I would personally love to see him direct again, because i think he needs to redeem himself for Spider-man 3. That was just a bad way to bow out, though not entirely his fault apparently because he was pressured by the studio. Hopefully that made the studio realize that they shouldn't butt in. The first 2 films were fantastic.
Personally I blame Sony for Spider-Man 3 and for TASM2.
Ramai didn't want Venom in S3, Sony made him stuff Venom in there. The result was you could tell Venom was in there for the sake of it, and Ramai's main villain (Sandman) had to be fit in around Venom.
Same with TASM2. It was obviously Sony making Webb fit in all these different villains just to set up Sinister 6. I actually loved what Webb did with TASM1.
Sony could use Marvel's touch collaborating with them for the Spidey films. And whether Sony sorts the Spider-Man movies out our not, either way I want Marvel to be able to use their own version of Spider-Man for the MCU.
Marvel doesn't even want Garfield; they want a fresh start. I think they should creative control. Lets put it this way, Marvel should not work with Sony at all. Let Sony kill Spidey by their own hands.
Re: Re: The future of the Spider-Man movie franchise
Problem is Spider-Man's still such a huge and popular name its going to take a long time for Sony to actually kill the franchise.
I mean even TASM2 grossed $700mill+ WW, just a few million short of CA2. So imagine if they make a good Spidey film next time round (they're certainly going to give it 200% effort), then the franchise will never die and it will probably take 20-30 years to get it back to Marvel.
So personally I don't mind Sony having creative control over the solo movies as long as Marvel can use their own version however they like within the MCU.
How is it not? Great villain in Doc Ock and played perfectly. Train fight was by far the greatest comic book fight I've seen on the big screen. Spider-Man losing his powers and finding that even though he tries to live a normal life that he can't stop being a hero. I actually liked the bit where he tries to call MJ but his time runs out and he says what he wishes he'd said. You can disagree if you want.
