It is now official! Spider-Man will
be fighting alongside the Avengers and other Marvel heroes very soon! I woke up
to the news this morning, and it was a story that broke late last night while I
was asleep! (Figures all the good stuff happens while I’m out of it or absent!)
Yes it’s true, Sony Pictures has made a deal with Marvel, that Marvel Studios
can use the character of Spider-Man in their movie universe. However, Sony will
still retain their film rights to the character, and they can still make a
Spider-Man movie whenever they want.

Now, as it stands, my understanding
of this deal is as follows, Spider-Man/Peter Parker is cleared for Marvel Studios
use. I haven’t looked for word about whether or not other characters are
included in this deal, like Aunt May, Uncle Ben, Gwen Stacy, or Marry Jane, to
name a few. I haven’t bothered to look for any information about if fans and
audiences should look forward to a Solo-Spider-Man Marvel Studios film. Additionally,
I don’t know how Marvel plans to reintroduce the character through their
cinematic universe, or if they’re going to choose to act as though Spider-Man
had always been in New York City during the events of past Marvel films. These
are all important questions, I’ll let you know more through a follow-up right
here on this blog.
Here is my personal opinion about
how Marvel should treat Spider-Man. If they go the Solo-Movie route, I don’t
think they will until after their scheduled second half of their third Avengers
film. If they plan to introduce Spider-Man before then, this seems to currently
be their main course of action, there have been talks of making Peter Parker a
character in the third Captain America film, “Captain America: Civil War.” Cap
3 would be the best place for him to show up, because it would likely be the
production most prepared for a Peter Parker appearance, not a Spider-Man
appearance. In addition, Civil War refers to a story line in the comics where a
movement known as the Super Hero Registration act is introduced causes problems
for, and splits superheroes into two separate factions. Having Parker in the
midst of this conflict whilst hinting toward his being Spider-Man would work.
We don’t need to see yet another
retelling of Spider-Man’s origin story, because we don’t need to watch Uncle
Ben die a third time on screen, this much is plain. It would be great if Marvel
just sets us up for a thrill ride with Spider-Man, because apart from Batman,
or Superman, Spider-Man is one of the top recognizable comic book superheroes
on the planet. Marvel’s been trying to make this deal for years, and now that
something’s finally gone through I have complete and total faith that they are
going to deliver on their golden child. Remember, this is the studio that made
Guardians of the Galaxy a near household name, and that was a superhero team
even the most seasoned Marvel fans hardly knew.

Alright, it looks like we have answers here people! Sources say, Peter Parker as a character, is going to be recast and reintroduced. Marvel Studios plans to wipe the slate clean. As for other characters from the Spider-Man mythos, like J. Jonah Jamason, Flash Thompson, and Norman Osborne, among others, we'll be seeing them again too. Finally, Spider-Man/Peter Parker, is going to first appear in a Marvel film, before he goes on to lead his own solo-film. This is fantastic because it means audiences will get the chance to get to know the new Peter Parker before getting the chance to root for him as he adventures off on his own! This caps off all the internet knows for now, if any more breaking news happens, I'll do my best to report on it.
