A lot of us never thought we’d see Sony end up making a deal with Marvel for Spider-Man. After all, the character was a cash cow and the Sam Raimi trilogy starring Tobey Maguire grossed a hell of a lot of money. Well, fast forward to the rebooted version of Spider-Man in 2012, and it’s sequel in 2014. Both of the films underwhelmed, which left Sony no choice but to strike a deal with Marvel.
Marvel quickly put the character into their Cinematic Universe (even referenced him in Ant-Man) and that’s that. He will appear in Civil War, as well as a reboot and most likely the other upcoming films.
That just lets you know that if Fantastic Four and the X-MEN characters were to revert back to Marvel – they have a plan. Here’s what Kevin Feige had to say:
“Yes, in broad strokes. Sometimes in super specific things, but for the most part in broad strokes that are broad enough and loose enough that if through the development of four or five movies before we get to the culmination, as you say, we still have room to sway, and to go, and to surprise ourselves in places that we end up. So all the movies ultimately when they are finished can feel like they were all interconnected and meant to be and planned far ahead, but can live and breath as individual movies that can be satisfying by themselves.”
So, if and when that happens, Marvel is ready for it.
