This is also good news for Miles Morales, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Marvel has the rights to Miles, but not the rights to him in the spider costume.

The press release says its Peter Parker

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

Eddie Redmayne as Spidey

Ooooooh. Not bad.

 

[teepo]

i wasn't even all that excited for Civil War. i haven't even been excited for a MCU movie since the first Avengers

but now i might completely avoid all the spoiler threads. i could live without the X-Men, but Spider-Man's absence has always been felt.

Not really. If anything, this probably pushes back Miles' potential stepping into the suit by a good 10 years or so.

Also Eddie Redmayne is not a good choice. Oscar nomination or not.

Now if you wanted to put that kid up for Harry Osborn, sure. But Eddie Redmayne as Peter is not a good look.

Damn, I liked Garfield but this is for the best. It's crazy how in less than 20 years there's already going to be 3 different Spider man film franchises.

 

[JackLongRod]

Why didn't Sony just sell it back ?

 

[Lemaitre]

The public won, the fans finally won.

But yeah, to echo another, I still hope Black Panther gets his due.

 

[Feep]

Garfield or bust, he's the best

 

[Protag]

Holy FUCK YESSSSSSSS.

 

[StoopKid]

Ben fritz says marvel pushed back 4 movies.

 

[EightBitNate]

Why did this news come out so late at night?

It's almost sunrise in Britain. They're picking another Brit.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Oh, shit this is for real. When I saw the thread title. I thought someone was bullshitting, but they did it. I'm not going to pretend that I'm really hype about it, because I'm not. I think Peter's jokes are pretty corny and his villains not interesting, but fans got what they wanted.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Great move for Marvel and Sony. Now everybody eating.

 

[superdeluxe]

First Spider-man movie, July 2017. Awesome!

So excited.

 

[Snaku]

I think JK Simmons knew last week.

Yeah JK is in, he all but confirmed it last week. Tobey pls!

 

[Szu]

I want to see Spidey vs Hulk!!!

 

[Oddduck]

Holy shit wow!!

 

[ChosenPredator]

you really think they would cast Tobey or Garfield again

 

[brandonh83]

Damn, I liked Garfield but this is for the best. It's crazy how in less than 20 years there's already going to be 3 different Spider man film franchises.

That's fine isn't there like a billion comic spinoffs and directions to go in? That's why I was okay with the 'Amazing' reboot. Comics aren't confined to one specific strand, so I don't think movies should be either.

 

[Lashley]

It's almost sunrise in Britain. They're picking another Brit.

You can tell Marvel loves us Brits

(We love you too, Marvel)

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.

The new relationship follows a decade of speculation among fans about whether Spider-Man – who has always been an integral and important part of the larger Marvel Universe in the comic books – could become part of the Marvel Universe on the big screen. Spider-Man has more than 50 years of history in Marvel's world, and with this deal, fans will be able to experience Spider-Man taking his rightful place among other Super Heroes in the MCU.

Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said: "Spider-Man is one of Marvel's great characters, beloved around the world. We're thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building."

"We always want to collaborate with the best and most successful filmmakers to grow our franchises and develop our characters. Marvel, Kevin Feige and Amy, who helped orchestrate this deal, are the perfect team to help produce the next chapter of Spider-Man," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans."

"Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the future," added Doug Belgrad, president, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group.

"I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world’s most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

Wouldn't they stand to make more money this way? Instead of defeat, which they would admit by selling it, they can put this as a feather in their cap and be associated with something, potentially, good if not great.

 

[jtb]

Tobey was a great Spiderman and an even great Peter Parker. I will never understand the hate he gets. You could actually believe him as a down-on-his-luck everyman type kid.

 

[Maximus.]

I honestly thought Andrew Garfield was a great fit, but man Marvel will finally make a legit franchise out of the Spiderman movies. I wonder what kind of damage has been done with the constant reboots of the character though, hope it doesnt effect this new venture.

 

[Jigorath]

JK Simmons said on Howard Stern a few days ago that there have been "new possiblities"(paraphrase) regarding him returning as JJJ when Howard asked him

That would be amazing.

 

[Sojgat]

It's almost sunrise in Britain. They're picking another Brit.

Taron Egerton, calling it.

 

[kirblar]

For those saying that X-Men is next, that ain't happening. Fox just had the biggest hit of that franchise with Days of Future Past, and they are going to milk it. And I am fine with that. The X-Men universe is robust and complicated enough to be its own thing.

Everyone involved is smart enough not to cross those streams.

 

[matt360]

My son, whose middle name is Parker, was born last Saturday, but I do believe today is the best day of my life!!!

 

[Floridian]

End of the Garfield Era already.

 

[SDBurton]

Eddie Redmayne as Spidey

I can't picture him as Parker to be honest.

 

[Deleted member 102481]

What pretty white boy will be our peter parker

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

The public won, the fans finally won.

But yeah, to echo another, I still hope Black Panther gets his due.

Is Black Panther still going to be the Spidey character in Civil War or do you think Peter's going to keep that position?

I have to admit I due like Spider-man's powers though, they make for interesting fights.

 

[adarker]

Finally on his way.

Ha ha! That is great!

 

[def sim]

wow

 

[Wazzy]

Holy fuck just saw this.

YAS YAS YAS FUXCK YESSSSSSSSSSS

Why didn't Sony just sell it back ?

They probably make more money and have more control this way.

Oh my

End of the Garfield Era already.

Thank goodness
