Marc Webb Calls His Spider-Man Films A Trilogy, Andrew Garfield Not Signed For 4th Film Yet

Garfield says he’s signed for three films and that a 4th movie is “nothing to do with me.” Sure, I basically took that to mean he leaves the handling of negotiating for future movies to his team and not necessarily that he has nothing to do with the movie, but I found Webb’s comments in conjunction with Garfield’s more interesting.

The director tells the reporter:

We did think about this movie, from the very beginning, these movies as a series of movies, as a trilogy, to be totally frank.

Now, we know Sony is planning on spin-off movies set in the Spidey universe in the vein of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so could this mean the 4th film is really the first of one of those? Or could it be a brand new take on Spidey, a la Ben Affleck taking over Batman from Christian Bale?

YES

[Preezy]

Looks like a load of cgi shitness

Some unused suit designs from 'The Amazing Spider-Man':

Hopefully it's just for the trailer but CGI of actual Spider-Man is terrrrrible.

Trailer looks amazing though Green Goblin looks strawberry floating mechanical again though, whats wrong with the amazing original comic look?

Sony Pictures Announces Spider-Man Spinoffs... 'Venom' and 'Sinister Six'

In a move said "to forge a new legacy in the story of Peter Parker on screen," Sony Pictures Entertainment announced today that they will, in association with Marvel Entertainment, develop several new projects in the Spider-Man franchise, with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard to collaborate on overseeing the developing story over several films that will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.

The five writers, along with the two producers and Marc Webb, have formed a franchise brain trust to expand the universe for the brand and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films. Under the deals, the studio announced that Kurtzman & Orci & Pinkner are writing the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which the studio hopes Webb will return to direct. That film will go into production next fall for release on June 10, 2016. In addition, the team will build on the cinematic foundation laid by Webb, Arad, and Tolmach in the first two movies. They will expand the franchise with Kurtzman & Orci & Solomon writing the screenplay for Venom, which Kurtzman will direct. Goddard, then, will write with an eye to direct, The Sinister Six, focusing on the villains in the franchise. Hannah Minghella and Rachel O’Connor will oversee the development and production of these films for the studio.

Commenting on the announcement, Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures said, "The Spider-Man film franchise is one of our studio's greatest assets. We are thrilled with the creative team we have assembled to delve more deeply into the world that Marc, Avi and Matt have begun to explorein 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.' We believe that Marc, Alex, and Drew have uniquely exciting visions for how to expand the Spider-Man universe in each of these upcoming films."

In tapping these five writers, the studio and the producers are guiding the future of the franchise with the writer/producers who have each played significant and key roles in developing such highly successful franchises, films, and series as Star Trek, Transformers, "Alias," "Fringe," Men in Black, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, World War Z, "Lost," Cloverfield, The Cabin in the Woods, and Marvel's upcoming "Daredevil" series.

Arad and Tolmach added, "This collaboration was born out of the great experience we and Marc had working with Alex, Bob, and Jeff on 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.' With more than fifty years' wealth of stories in the comic books to draw upon for inspiration, the Spider-Man universe is truly boundless; in addition, the Spider-Man comics have the greatest rogues gallery of any series, and to have the chance to explore that on film is truly thrilling. Until now, we have approached each film as a separate, self-contained entity, but with this move, we have the opportunity to grow the franchise by looking to the future as we develop a continuous arc for the story. That is what Alex, Bob, Jeff, Ed, and Drew will do in this unprecedented collaboration, and we're excited about the directions they are taking the character and the world."

The most successful franchise in the history of Columbia Pictures, the four "Spider-Man" films to date have taken in over $3.2 billion worldwide.

The CGI and the costume still woeful though

It's such a shame that basically everything about the reboot films so far is gooseberry fool, when Andrew Garfield is absolutely fantastic as Peter

As for the spin off news, predictable/10. Not at all excited for either.

[Buffalo]

They should be focusing more on the here and now, getting the quality right, never mind Amazing Spider-Man 10 or whatever.

Written an article about ow to make a Venom movie work - http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/spider-man-s ... 00939.html

[Memento Mori]

Alternatively an Agent Venom film with Flash Thompson.

Harry's hair

[Cosmo]

So is Harry meant to be a stoner in this? He sounds/looks it.

[HM]

Such a shame that they've got a great Spidey (and Gwen ) yet everything else about this looks absolute shite.

[Mr Yoshi]

The dialogue bits look good, everything else, not so much. Which for a superhero movie is probably the worst possible thing.

[Memento Mori]

Watching that after the Winter Soldier trailer was a mistake. This does not look good by comparison.

[Mafro]

I don't know why they seem so intent on choosing the least interesting villains possible. At least they are building towards the Sinister Six.

[CitizenErased]

I watched that trailer with extremely low expectations, aside from all the bro-step music it didn't look as bad as I thought it would. I kinda like the way they're portraying Electro as this Spidey Obsessive fan. Going on the trailer though Oscorp is creating every Spiderman villian there is.

Watching that after the Winter Soldier trailer was a mistake. This does not look good by comparison.

I watched the Winter Soldier trailer after, look incredible in comparison.

I like how the film was condensed into 4 minutes.
