Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of Spider-Man.

Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.

"I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world’s most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

Spidey strong

Hell yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

This is awesome man. I can't to see what they do with a Spidy, Ironman, and Cap conversation. My body is ready man! W000tz!

Marvel Studios still don't own the movie rights to Spidy, but Sony and Marvel would just work together. Sony still has final creative control of him, but it's still freakin' awesome that they are doing this. Now all we need is the Fantastic Four.

I hope they don't do another origin movie with Spidy in his next movie. He doesn't need it.

doubt Garfield will return. Sucks cause he was a good Spider-Man

I'm okay with it. I liked him as Spiderman, I don't like him as Peter Parker.

[Draz]

I'm cool with it

[Timmy D for MVP]

I'm on record as not liking Garfield's Spidey, but I would have no problem giving him another shot with Marvel studios in charge. But I doubt he crosses over with the character.

So does this mean the Black Panther gets bumped from the Civil War now? I'm sure that'll go down well.

Spiderman is poorly represented in the movies. Spidey is capable of swinging tanks with one arm.

They may be casting someone else for the role of Spider-Man.

Black Panther will still play a major role in both events of Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron and also Captain America 3: Civil War. Spider-Man will serve as an introduction.

While I'm happy that Spiderman will join the Marvel movies (undoubtedly starting with Civil War, which needs him) I'm a bit worried about Marvel Universe characters showing up in a Sony movie... That will likely be the death of the MCU.

I can just see the Hulk's head reverting to Bruce Banner for a five minute conversation in the middle of a battle. :

Sounds almost too good to be true. I hope they keep Garfield and the costume from Amazing Spider-Man 2. If not Garfield, at least the costume

Personally they need to use this costume, produced by Tony Stark:

Where does it say he'll be in avengers?
