Sony Pictures Entertainment Brings Marvel Studios Into The Amazing World Of Spider-Man

Just posted. I'll edit in more.

Marvel's Kevin Feige to Produce Next Installment of the Spider-Man Franchise with Amy Pascal

(Culver City, California, and Burbank, California February 09, 2015) – 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.

Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.

EDIT: Update On What This Means For Marvel Phase 3:

It looks like everything got moved to accommodate Spider-Man.

As a result of the new deal, Thor: Ragnarok will now arrive nearly four months later than planned, moving to November 3, 2017 (from July 28). Black Panther, which previously held that spot, gets delayed eight months, going from that original November 3 date to July 6, 2018. That, in turn, bumps Captain Marvel to November 2, 2018 and moves Inhumans all the way to July 12, 2019. The two-part Avengers: Infinity War, meanwhile, remains set for release May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019.

Andrew Garfield seemingly is confirmed to be out. New casting.

Finally!
I know people will be angry it's likely the Amazing franchise, but I'm happy about it.
Shame it likely won't be in time for Civil War, but they still have a lot of potential stuff to cover.

Spider-Man in a MCU movie then a standalone Spider-Man in 2017. I guess that confirms Spider-Man in Civil War.
 
The key point of this though:

"Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films."
