Or, be Michael Bay. His shit always makes money unless Ewan McGregor is in it.
A friend of mine was pissed that I didn't want to travel 2+ hours to see the newest shit and over pay to see it in IMax.
You don't necessarily need Garfield to do any of the things I talked about, but, honestly, I don't think we should be assuming anything at this point regarding what Sony might do vis a vis Garfield's contractual status, since the fact that they've moved TASM3 back puts everything up in the air.
That would certainly be my guess. People have said Spider Woman, but I'm not sure Sony has the rights to Jessica Drew. Felicia Hardy is clearly a Spider-Man character and appeared in TASM2, so it would make complete sense to appear.

After watching Assault on Arkham, I actually think a Sinister Six-based movie could work. Didn't see how it would before that.
Why do people keep making stuff up about diminishing returns and Sony giving up on Spider-Man even after the announcements of ASM3, Sinister Six, Venom, and a probable Black Cat spinoff?!
That part isn't made up, it's a demonstrable fact.
Well, ASM 2 made less money, they shifted ASM 3 back and dropped ASM4 off the schedule... so...
I've always wondered how big of a movie universe you could make out of Spider-Man, with him at the core, a Spider Man-less film sees... weird. It feels like an X-Man movie without mutants.
FOX definitely has a better IP deal than SONY does.
Venom had his own solo comic, though, so that's not too unusual for me. Sinister Six is the one I'm struggling to get.
Me too. Cause, like, who's the hero they're fighting? A bunch of cops? The CIA? Each other? Or do we root for them?
Giving him a solo comic after years of appearances in Spider-Man and other books, read by people who are fully aware of the character and his back-story, is a whole world away from a successful solo movie. Especially when said character hasn't made an appearance, or even been alluded to, in the current Spidey-verse movies (unless I missed a Brock reference somewhere).
But yeah, I'm not getting this Sinister Six movie either.
From that article posted earlier in the thread...
Only Only Only
Sony did not take a loss with that and yes the 5th Spiderman movie in 12 years but also in a very crowded genre makes $700 million and thats not good enough...That alone is a clear sign of whats wrong with the movie industry.
2018 seems too long and no one will care by then and I don't get how they make a movie about 6 villians right? doing what exactly? Just sounds boring. I'd rather have a ASM3 in 2017 so they have 3 years to work on it and then rest the franchise in movie form especially as X Men may of found new legs for Sony.

Yeah, if they were anti-heroes, that would be something, but I don't think they are.
I think you underestimate your audience's ability to catch up or, at a minimum, not care. Some may have seen Spider-Man 3 and be familiar that way or the comics and be familiar that way. Or they can find a way to do the origin in the movie. Obviously, many of those options would involve noticeable changes from the comics, but I don't think that's a roadblock. Once that difficulty is overcome, the rest makes at least some sense.
