When Sony was originally hacked near the end of 2014, many outlets sifted through the information that leaked to see what they could find. The biggest nugget was Marvel and Sony once again discussing a possible deal to bring Spider-Man into Marvel's cinematic universe.
It was not the first time fans had heard rumors of this as there were talks before The Avengers came out that Oscorp Tower could be featured in the New York Skyline. Then rumors swirled of a "Spidey Summit" happening in early January where the likes of Kevin Feige and others from Marvel would sit down with Sony executives to try and finalize the deal.
That deal, is officially done.
Marvel has announced that the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is back under their control.
The new Spider-Man franchise will be overseen by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal as they reboot the franchise for what will be the third time on screen. The new Spider-Man will first appear in one of Marvel's previously announced films before having his own solo movie co-produced by both studios on July 28, 2017.
With the new Spider-Man set to make an appearance in MCU before his solo movie, Doctor Strange or a small cameo in Captain America: Civil War are the most likely options.
It is clear that this will be a new direction and not carry over any of the previous baggage or story lines from the original Spider-Man trilogy or the last two installments of The Amazing Spider-Man.
What that means is no Andrew Garfield (sadly) and another new Peter Parker on the way. Marvel and Sony have yet to lock down an actor to play the web slinger but it should be a gig that any actor wants.
Current characters from the MCU have the possibility of appearing in solo Spider-Man movies as well.
