They can just call it Spider-Man. No one will care.

Ultimate is the only word Miles has though. Peter has years of adjectives you could pull from.

Unlikely to do Avenging right away, the advertising idiots will shoot it down for being too close to Amazing. I'll put my money on Spectacular.

You know, I'm not that excited about this. Wanted the other heroes to thrive without him
I think there's space for all of them. To me, it's the Fox and DC films contributing to a flood of super-movies that I'm more concerned about. I'd hate to see the see the super bubble burst before I get the MCU films I want.
Oh lol

I am glad Garfield is out, I like the actor but he is a horrible Peter Parker.

I don't know if Sony would have ever outright sold him to Disney though. Maybe for something insane like a couple billion?
As it's been mentioned a few times already, they have creative control only in the sense that's what the deal dictates. With the former producers relegated to exec credits and Feige now being in the direct production role, it's hard to believe that Sony won't be following Feige's cue the whole way through, even if they have final word. There's no way they're going to attempt stepping on these toes.
Probably right, but Sony isn't exactly in the greatest place money wise so they might have bit.
Hopefully you're right
They still will.
Marvel has all the leverage. Sony needs this deal to work more than Marvel does.
I wouldn't worry. Pascal and Feige are coproducing, but I'd be willing to bet it's Feige who will call the shots.

Why wouldn't they?
If Marvel can build their universe without treating Iron Man like how Fox treated Wolverine, I think Spider-Man as a character can co-exist without anyone having to worry about him overshadowing everyone else or hogging all the screen time. In fact, while some people expect Spidey to now be the pivotal character in Civil War like in the comics, I think he'll likely be far less integral to the plot than BP because a Spidey appearing in the MCU wouldn't have the same impact in that world as what Spider-man had in the 616, unless they retcon that Spider-Man is somehow a big deal that no one knows about.
A teen/young adult with spider-powers who just appears isn't going to be a huge deal to people who have seen alien invasions with a Hulk and a thunder god fighting them, and I think that's exactly the way to play it, even if Spider-Man is a way bigger deal to the fans, because that allows him to grow into the role rather than shoehorn him in as a big deal from the start.
They need to have references in Agents of Shield now.
Like someone is reading the daily bugel or mention how Oscorp has gotten their hands on some Shield tech.
Also how old is Norman Osborn? Cause maybe they could introduce a much younger version of him on Agent Carter's later seasons. (If they happen.)

Or have a flash back to the big battle in NYC, Spider-Man was fighting the invasion in a different part of NYC at the time annnnd was actually responsible for the avengers being able to turn the tide. They just didn't know it.

Exactly. Just a small set of flashbacks. Then keep the movie going foward. No need to redo an origin all over gain . They didnt need it for the Hulk so i think it can work out that way.
Though this is a safe bet, I'd wait for Variety to say something about it.

Where is that pic from? And why is Wolverine so horribly drawn? Heck, why is Wolverine drawn horribly in 90% of promo art in the last 20 years?

Is there going to be a sisnister 6 movie and ASM3? Or will they reboot again? Haven't been following

I'm sure they'll bring Spidey from another dimension, it just doesn't make sense otherwise. He's bigger than any other characters, and for the kids it doesn't matter who is playing him or how he is introduced, they just want to see Spider Man web slinging around. But for the older audience you can't have him just show up like he was always there.
I'm sure Marvel will precisely use Spidey to introduce a multiverse notion, because through him it becomes acceptable to the viewers.

Sounds like the way it goes is:
Sinister Six to complete the current Garfield/Webb run.
New Spidey to debut in Cap. 3. to kick off Civil War
Question needs to be answered though: Where the fuck was Spidey during the first Avengers then?
Still love the Luke Cage reaction
I guess from Bendis's New Avengers run back in '05

I read that they're still developing Sinister 6, but the next solo Spider-Man film is a reboot. Maybe they'll fuse the two films together.
I trust MCU to not just put him there. And they pretty much HAVE to put Spidey in there. He not being on any of the Avengers movies is an abomination,
I love this scene.
Again, I'm not too sure about that.
I'm cool with this news IF Spider-Man has a scene with Groot, and Groot's the only one who laughs at Spider-Man's quips.
I would think this would be basically the case in regards to creative control and direction of the films, the reason I would think Sony would even care to hold on to creative control and might exercise final say is for business purposes, such as demanding they make an Aunt May movie.
Now, I'm sure that they'd want to talk with Marvel about what would be the best characters to use and bounce back and forth ideas with them like that, but if Sony suddenly decided they wanted to absolutely do go a certain direction for purposes of allowing them to make the movies they want, that would allow them to do that. After all, they are the ones funding these movies. i guess fears of a One More Day arc will forever loom over the Spidey verse.
Makes me wonder how much Marvel will be involved with any spin-off films.

Fighting one of his countless villians in Queens? or you know stopping petty criminals while NYC is in panic mode due to an Alien Invasion. Or fuck it he just took a day off and wanted to see Earth's Mightiest Hero handle the job while taking them photos for Bugle XD. Take your pick.
Nah Garfield and that whole world is done.
They are saying Sin Six is delayed so you can bet when it does get made it will be a whole new vision like Spiderman will be.

Agreed.
I like the idea that he did actually help people, but maybe no one got a picture of him because he was too quick and since all eyes were on the Avengers, his help sort of faded into obscurity.
Yeah, probably plot holes with that idea, but I think it (sort of) works.
All the pieces are falling into place.
I would love to see Dark Reign, but that seems really ambitious, even for Disney and Marvel
and if they did do that I hope they'd either remove secret invasion or rethink that run
Maybe on some Euro trip? Who knows. Doesn't seem that hard to throw in a short line about why he wasn't involved when it could literally be any reason.

Great news I look forward to seeing who gets casted as him since I didn't care for Garfield's take on Spidey.
I'm also more excited to see what Marvel does with the new Spiderman solo flick since they'll be avoiding rehashing the origin again.

Now that they're dropping the Amazing movie continuity, they should retool Sinister Six into a Superior Foes movie/netflix series.
