MOVIES: Spider-Man - Rumor - Sony Japan Renegotiating With Marvel

Dec 15, 2014

Share on Reddit


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.

So I got a little bit more details out of my Disney guy. Nothing is concrete yet, but I may know what villain Marvel wants for their first Spidey movie. The two being seriously considered are Mysterio and/or Shocker. Not clear on if it's both or just one, but I've been told Marvel is aiming to avoid any mistakes made in previous Spider-Man films, which I assume would include multiple villains, so I'm fairly sure they're deciding between one of the two. There's also talk of possibly bringing in Vincent D'Onofrio from their upcoming Daredevil show as Kingpin for the villain as well.
One more thing my source gave me is that one of the names he's heard being tossed around as a possible director is Sylvain White. However, there are dozens of other directors being looked at as well, so this could end up being meaningless.

  2. Please be true >.>

    Also my vote goes to either Dylan or Freddie with Michael as my preferred choice. Michael could probably pull off Ultimate Spider-Man's look pretty easily. But more importantly those 3 have all done TV in the past few years.

    The important cameo is probably Spider-Man unmasking, but I think it would carry a greater impact if we saw him having to hide his identity first. Include him in season 3 of Agents of Shield which then leads to him transitioning to movies when he unmasks during the Civil War.

    The Spider-Man movies afterwards can then deal with the fallout since his identity is now public which adds a different spin on things.

  3. Please drop Spider Man. There was enough remake on this character. Simply boring like dared devil, Batman, Superman. Enough is Enough. Marvel should just move on with " Avengers".

  4. why though spider-man belonging to the MCU though? i kind of like what we have now

  5. I hope this turns out true. I liked Andrew Garfield but if they have to recast I´d go with Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth or Nat Wolff.

  6. Logan Lerman?? That kid looks like he's 12. The other 2 can't imagine in the suit. Maybe Douglas

    ReplyDelete
  7. Dylon O'Brien as Spidey? How awesome that would be!
    I don't know the other choices but Dougles Booth has the looks ... hm :)



    Andrew Garfield was a great Peter Parker/Spiderman. I wonder how they will incorporate him in the MCU. They could do the Spiderverse Storyline and add Miles Morales, Spiderman 2099 and others.

  8. For the love of RDJ please please be true

  9. Man, that would be so awesome. Sad for Andrew though, as I personally really love him as an actor, but if it is true he hopefully gets an awesome other role -if he wants to. Dylan would just be as excited to play Spiney as Andrew was, so if they want to go older/after college I could also imagine Anton :)

  10. So, if they´re too boyish for you as Spider-Man? Who would you like? Jason Statham?

  11. Not sure about Garfield playing another role on MCU, but he's really good and do not deserve to lose his biggest character over Sony's incompetence, so at least he's getting another chance.

    I didn't hate TASM2 as much as I'd expect to, and would like a third part so the reboot could get some closure, but Civil War will be way cooler with Spidey in it.

    Dylan O'Brien is perfect for the role and I'm rooting for him, but I love Anton Yelchin as well and would love to see him playing other characters in the movies. Someone mentioned Dave Franco as Peter, too, and it could be interesting.

  12. Logan Lerman looks like a kid. I could see Douglas but idk. Maybe Jake Gyllenhaal (he's too old but whatever) or Justin Bartha.

  13. YAAAAASSSSS! Hope this is true. Sucks for Andrew Garfield, who was a great Spiderman, but Sony has no clue what they're doing with Spidey. Plus, its impossible to make an expanded universe for just Spiderman when all the characters are reliant on his presence.

    Very pissed off about this, Andrew is Peter Parker.

  15. As long as they bring Spider Man along with MCU, I'll be happy. I actually haven't seen The Amazing Spiderman - they didn't look like Spider Man at its best so I avoided it - so I don't have a strong attachment to Andrew Garfield. I'm in for anyone who would like to play the role (though I obviously hope they cast someone good)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't like any actor on that list.


    O'Brien isn't good, he just appears better next to the god awful actors next to him -,-

    ReplyDelete
  17. Of the names on the list I choose Freddie ( Norman Bates - "Bates Motel" ) Highmore.

    Steven Krueger of The Originals is my personal choice.

  18. Oh god please not O' Brien

    ReplyDelete
  19. So this means we're not getting the Aunt May solo movie? I'm really pissed about that ¬¬


    Dylan O'Brien, i wouldn't be mad if it was him... I haven't seen him on anything besides Teen Wolf and it't the best of the show. He had a hit with Maze Runner so it's a very likely choice. He also has a big fanbase, hasn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Because Spider-Man is one of Marvel's flagship characters. Having him be able to join the MCU gets us access to Spidey in the Avengers, solo spidey films with the Marvel touch (usually well produced and very well recieved), cameos from other fan favorite characters and an end to Oscorp creating EVERYTHING in TASM movies.

    The Amazing Spider-man had this formula....

    Spider-Man origin = Oscorp
    Gwen Stacy = Oscorp intern
    Peter's Parents = Oscorp scientists
    Lizard = Oscorp
    Electro = Oscorp
    "Goblin" = Oscorp
    Web fluid = Oscorp

  21. Too bad getting rid of Garfield is a necessary evil for Marvel to get the rights to Spidey back. I really like him in the role. It would be the best of both worlds if Marvel continued the current franchise with Garfield.


    Thank goodness they at least have the good sense not to tell Peter's origin story AGAIN, though.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The Aunt May movie is totally on, the working title being "The Amazing Laundry Sheriff".

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wouldn't it make more sense if they held Sony's Spidey Summit in September? see what i did there *looks around* Mhmm guess it wasn't that funny.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've always wanted Logan Lerman as Spider-Man, so out of those he would be my first choice. A few other actors up there would do well also. If they cast Dylan O'Brien, that'll garuntee me not seeing any Spider-Man solo films, he's good in Teen Wolfe, it over rated in general if you ask me. As for the people complaining about Lerman looking too young/boyish... Isn't that a big part of Spider-Man in comics?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thank You!!! Thought I was the only one not getting the hype with him.

    ReplyDelete
  26. he's still pretty bad, he'd be another sh*tty Garfield -,-

    ReplyDelete
  27. Dylan would be a great Peter Parker.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I always tought that with better material, Garfield would have been a good Peter Parker.


    Sadly, the movie looked like a CW show.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well he played him less like an akward social outcast and more like a grungy emo kid that was actually pretty popular. And let's not forget that instead of snappy humor he was pretty much mean spirited towards people.


    Aaaaand he bragged with his powers, I guess that's what he gets for not letting uncle Ben utter the most famous sentence in comicbook history


    "buutt he haz webshootass and iz soaw cloze 2 the comics" gues what: similarities on the surface mean nothing if you change the character completely. Maguire actually had Parker down pretty well
