Monster news broke late last night as it was reported that Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios are joining forces on the next iteration of Spider-Man.
This is huge news considering Sony has been lost with the Amazing Spider-Man films, and Marvel has been on an absolute tear. Sony teaming with Marvel can only mean one thing: GOOD “Spider-Man” movies!
Deadline reports that under the deal, Spider-Man will appear in his film Marvel film that is part of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, and then Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017!
In addition, Disney has shifted Thor: Ragnarok to November 3, 2017. Black Panther, starring Chadwick Boseman, had been in that slot, so it is retreating eight months to July 6, 2018. That date belonged to Captain Marvel, so that pic has been pushed back to November 2, 2018. Rounding out the dominoes game, that is when Inhumans was set to arrive, so that one now is set for release July 12, 2019.
This is all fine and dandy, so long as they figure out how to do Venom justice, and get me some MAXIMUM CARNAGE!
