By After Sony was soundly disappointed by The Amazing Spider-Man 2 the company was struggling with what to do with the character. As some leaked documents (that we did not cover) showed they even reached out to Marvel to possibly bring him into the MCU and jointly run the character. Those talks looked like they fell through, but did they?
Latino Review is reporting that they were in fact successful and that Spider-Man will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2018 with Avengers: Infinity War Part 1. That all makes sense considering the major part Spidey plays in Civil War, which will be the Captain American installment of Phase 3.
Of course this is all a massive rumor and even if it is true there’s millions and millions of dollars involved meaning everything could easily fall apart. Sony won’t want to let go easily of its only super hero, but we’re pretty sure Marvel is desperate to have him as an Avenger. The Latino Review report goes into some major spoilers about this as well.
Finally, since Marvel will be resetting the character Andrew Garfield will no longer be playing him. Sad for fans of the actor in the role, but I’m not going to lose much sleep.
