Rumours of Sony’s plans for the Spiderman franchise have been fairly erratic over the last few months. A Sinister Six trilogy, A black Cat movie, Superior Spiderman, Ultimate Spiderman, Doc Oc cooking show. All of them were whistling around as wild possibilities.
Then Sony had their emails hacked. It was discovered then that Sony and Marvel had been in discussions to put Spiderman into the MCU but Sony had decided to walk away from the talks. This did not go over well with Sony HQ in Japan. Orders were quickly issued to march back into the talks.
For a short while it all went quiet.
Then on January 14th The Latino review broke a story about the details of Marvels Phase 3 plans. Which include Spiderman being put into the Infinity Wars, a story that’s been slowly building with every appearance of an infinity gem or Thanos.
Some are thinking this could be misdirection as part of a plan to put Spiderman in the Civil War film, where like in the comic, Spiderman would play a more central role. Whatever his role I think it’s a safe bet that Spiderman is going to be seen in the MCU sometime around 2018.
Check out the Latino Review story here (WARNING! Do not click on it unless you want a lot of phase 3 spoilers)
