Asked in a recent interview whether or not his performance in Marvel's Spider-Man will borrow…
Before Kevin Feige confirmed that Marvel had no intention of not making Peter Parker the focal point of their Spider-Man reboot, a popular theory was that Miles Morales would be wearing the suit. Well, while that won't be the case in 2017, it sounds like he may still be included in the movie in some…
Before The Amazing Spider-Man made a good few hundred million less than Sony expected and hoped for, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4 were on the cards, as were Sinister Six, Venom, and a mysterious female-led spinoff. Throw in the fact that the Sony Hack caused a PR nightmare for the studio, and they really…

Talking to…
Drew Goddard's decision to write and direct Sony's Sinister Six movie was an understandable one, but he's no doubt regretting it now that Sony has indefinitely shelved it thanks to their deal with Marvel Studios to have Spider-Man join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In order to work on the villain led movie, Goddard decided not…
For months now, we've all been wondering about what exactly Spider-Man's suit is going to look like in Captain America: Civil War. There have been a lot of rumours, with some sites claiming that the young hero will have multiple costumes when he makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut next year. Unfortunately, we're no closer…
The Amazing Spider-Man franchise had its fair share of problems, but Andrew Garfield wasn't one of them. He was an amazing Spider-Man (pun intended) but his reign was cut short due to Sony striking a deal with Marvel for the future of the character.

When Marvel and Sony announced that Tom Holland had been chosen as the new Peter Parker, they also revealed that Jon Watts will direct Spider-Man's 2017 solo movie.

Sam Raimi directed two spectacular Spider-Man movies and one pretty awful one, but Spider-Man 2 is still hailed as one of the greatest comic book movies of all-time regardless. It was rumoured at one point that Sony were considering bringing him back to the franchise before making a deal with Marvel Studios, and while he doesn't…
Had things worked out a little better for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Marc Webb would have more than likely directed The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (which was set to be released in 2017).

In a very interesting and unexpected bit of casting, it has been revealed today that Marisa Tomei has been chosen by Marvel and Sony to play Aunt May in the upcoming reboot.
