Sony isn't done with Spider-Man yet. After rumors swirling around that Sony was going to cancel this Spider-Man franchise at start new again, Sony announces that their 'Sinister Six' movie will be released on November 11, 2016. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' will supposedly follow in 2018. This is kind of a double-edged sword for us fans. On the one hand we get to see the Sinister Six on-screen, but on the other Marvel doesn't have the rights to Spidey. Still, it is good news to see Sony delay the next Spidey film after the lukewarm reception to both films in the reboot. Maybe now they will focus on making a proper Spider-Man film, instead of trying to build a universe. At the very least, the fans sent Sony a message that we prefer quality over quantity (a lesson you'd think they'd have learnt after the 'Spider-Man 3' incident). What do you think? Is Sony trying to hard to make this work? Or would you like to see them succeed?
