Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, who owns the license to produce Spider-Man movies, have come to an agreement to allow Spider-Man to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! <a href=\"http:\/\/marvel.com\/news\/movies\/24062\/sony_pictures_entertainment_brings_marvel_studios_into_the_amazing_world_of_spider-man\">According to Marvel<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only thing that worries me is that thing about Sony having &#8220;final creative control&#8221; because, obviously, while the Spider-Man movies that have starred Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have made money, it has been heavily critiqued and not exactly praised for its storylines. Nowhere near <em>Batman and Robin<\/em>, but it&#8217;s possible to put it in the same perspective for many. Okay, maybe not <em>that<\/em> bad, but you get the point.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, let&#8217;s just have faith that with this new partnership between Sony and Marvel can only bring great things for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
