Spider-Man Joins The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios have announced that they are working together to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Under this new deal, Spider-Man will appear in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film before July 28, 2017. A Wall Street Journal source claims that the first MCU movie starring Spider-Man will be the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War.
On July 28, 2017, a new Spider-Man film produced Sony Pictures Entertainment will be co-produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, and the team at Marvel. This new Spider-Man film will kickstart a new creative direction for the franchise.
While the two studios are teaming up for this new film, Sony Pictures Entertainment will continue to finance, distribute, own, and have final creative control over the Spider-Man movie franchise. In addition to Spider-Man potentially entering an Avengers film, the two studios are looking into MCU crossovers for the new Spider-Man films.
