SONY announces Amazing Spider-Man 3 and Sinister Six release dates

Hopefully the Sinister Six movie is an elaborate lead-in to a massive all out war with Spidey in ASM3.

Why would it need to be?

You could very easily make Spider-Man's battle with the Six the entire focal point of their titular film - while also resolving the lingering issues from the end of TASM2 as far as Peter Parker/Spider-Man is concerned, and then tell a completely different story in TASM3.

Garfield is still only contracted for three Spider-man films. Don't expect to see him in Sinister Six, maybe just a masked Spider-man.

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.
 
Spider-Man action scenes are mostly CGI anyway at this point, aren't they? Surely Garfield would do the voice over?
 
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?!

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.
 
A Venom movie without Spider-Man seemes even less interesting.

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.

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...

Amazing Spider-Man 2" barely tops $700 million

Only Only Only :rolleyes: 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.
 
Also, these spin-offs are probably a cost-cutting measure. I sincerely doubt Black Cat: The Movie is going to get a $250 million budget :lol:

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?

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.

X-Men is at FOX, so, that wouldn't help Sony much.

Sony can't rest the franchise for long, as they would lose the rights. That's why this silliness of a Sinister Six spin off. It would extend their rights to the IP.
