Yesterday, we reported that Sony and Marvel were working on a deal that would bring Spider-Man to the MCU. Today BadassDigest brings the news that Sony is looking to reboot Spider-Man. This reboot would not wipe away the last two Spider-Man films, but would recast Andrew Garfield. It seems like a bit of stretch, considering Garfield still has at least one movie left on his contract. If Sony does goes this route, though, they should just revert the rights back to Marvel, because they just wouldn't understand the problem with the movies. It is not the actor. It is the quality of writing that people really hate. They fix that and people would be willing to look past what some claim is a miscast.
Other reports claim that the Venom movie is scrapped completely. I have no clue why, because this is a film that a lot of fans want to see. It could be wildly successful a la Guardians of the Galaxy.
They also claim that the Sinister Six film will be in the vein of The Dirty Dozen, with Spidey working with the team to take down a much larger villain. They will put Spidey on the bench for a couple of years, too, before bringing him back for another solo outing.
All of these stories could wind up true. All of them might not happen. But one thing is for certain. After the sub-par reception to the last few Spider-Man films, we are guaranteed to see some huge changes. I am not sure what will happen, but I am curious to see how far Sony goes to keep this money machine rolling. It is very clear that they have no clue what to do with Spider-Man and all his properties and that Spider-Man would best be suited to go back to Marvel. What do you think?
