Sony and Marvel have finally struck a deal! Spider-Man will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a reboot of movies.
Andrew Garfield will no longer be Peter Parker. There is no confirmed actor yet. Sony will still maintain the financial and creative rights to the character, but doubtlessly Disney will have some input to their Universe.
The new movie will hit theaters on July 28, 2017. It’s assumed that Spider-Man’s first appearance will be in Captain America: Civil War. There are a number of movies being rearranged to make room for this film. The new Phase 3 looks like this:
- Avengers: Age of Ultron: May 1, 2015
- Ant-Man: July 17, 2015
- Captain America: Civil War: May 6, 2016
- Doctor Strange: November 4, 2016
- Guardians of the Galaxy 2: May 5, 2017
- Spider-Man: July 28th, 2017
- Thor: Ragnarok: November 3rd, 2017
- Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1: May 4, 2018
- Black Panther: July 6th, 2018
- Captain Marvel: November 2nd, 2018
- Avengers: Infinity War, Part 2: May 3, 2019
- Inhumans: July 12, 2019
This makes an interesting look into how Phase 3 and the future of the MCU will look.
What do you think? Is this good news or bad? This is big news. What are your thoughts?
There are many questions, but for now, only time will tell.
Both…while I look forward to seeing a teenaged Spider-man, I am still sad that there won’t be one last movie with Garfield.
I’m excited that we’ll get Peter for the Civil War. He’s got such a major role and it will be fun to see that in action.
hmmm… wait 2 years for spiderman. Hopefully more action for Spiderman in Civil War
