It’s been a really rough time for Sony as the studio’s e-mails and sensitive materials have been hacked by a mysterious group, and confidential details have been leaking left and right. The latest pieces of information picked up from Sony’s hacked internal e-mails have to do with Spider-Man—a character that’s in a bit of flux right now as Sony has been trying to sort out what to do next following the critical and commercial disappointment of ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2.’ As it turns out, Sony has indeed spoken with Marvel about a potential crossover, and that’s not all they’ve been planning to salvage the character.

The Wall Street Journal came across internal e-mails regarding Spidey, in which Sony motion pictures chief Amy Pascal was corresponding with various executives about the possibility of a crossover with Marvel Studios and Disney. In an e-mail dated October 30, Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad told Pascal about a possible scenario in which Marvel would produce a new trilogy of ‘Spider-Man’ films, while Sony would retain all of the “creative control, marketing and distribution.”

Another e-mail features Pascal telling a business partner that Marvel wants to include Spider-Man in ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ Spidey has a fairly prominent role in the Civil War storyline from the comic books, and we’ve all been wondering if Sony and Marvel might be able to work together to allow Spider-Man to crossover for this major event.

Unfortunately, Marvel and Sony could not reach an agreement, so rather than relying on Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige or coyly optimistic statements from Stan Lee about a potential crossover, we now have a much more definitive answer: Nope … at least not for the time being.

And it seems as though Sony is content to move forward with new plans for Spider-Man. Other e-mails reference the reported spinoff projects, including ‘Sinister Six’ and the Venom movie, as well as the all-female Spider-Man movie, which is operating under the presumably temporary title ‘Glass Ceiling.’

Additionally, Sony is also planning an animated Spider-Man comedy, which would be produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the filmmaking duo behind the ‘21 Jump Street’ movies and this year’s outstanding hit ‘The LEGO Movie.’

We’ve reported on many rumors regarding the future of the ‘Spider-Man’ franchise over the last few months, and it seems as though many are true: yes, they’re still working on ‘Sinister Six,’ and yes, there’s been talk of a Venom movie. But the glaring omission from these e-mail exchanges is the fate of Spider-Man himself. Will Andrew Garfield reprise his role as the web-shooting hero? Are they planning on making a third ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ movie? For now it seems as though Sony has put Spidey on the back burner as they focus on various related projects.

Marvel Studios Nearly Got Spider-Man Back… Sort Of

The Sony hack reveals negotiations that almost let Spider-Man appear in ‘ Captain America: Civil War.’



The rumors were almost true: Spider-Man nearly came back to Marvel Studios.

To recap, Marvel sold the motion picture rights to Spider-Man decades ago, before superhero movies were all the rage. They also sold off the rights to a number of other superheroes, including The Hulk, The Punisher, Ghost Rider and Daredevil, all of which eventually came back to the studio. But the rights to the more successful superhero franchises, like Spider-Man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four, remain elsewhere, and although Marvel Studios isn’t terribly vocal about it, it’s a poorly kept secret that they want all those heroes back. In part for financial gain, and in part because – obviously – they think they can make better movies about them.

Many fans agree with that second part, and have openly prayed for those heroes to return to Marvel and join the interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But it always seemed unlikely, if only because Sony wouldn’t want to share a piece of their biggest motion picture franchise with another studio. Sony has repeatedly claimed it would never, ever happen, even going so far as to say that, if they did produce a crossover movie, it would only be because they “ran out of ideas.”

But it turns out that Sony nearly “ran out of ideas” on October 30, as revealed in the recent hack on the studio’s computers. The security breach has led to leaked Academy Awards screeners, embarrassing email exchanges, and now correspondence from Amy Pascal, the co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, which shows that Marvel Studios had at least expressed an interest in putting Spider-Man in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, and producing a new trilogy of Spider-Man films with Sony tackling “creative control, marketing and distribution.”

The Wall Street Journal, which broke the story, goes on to say that talks eventually broke down and Sony has resumed their plans to create a Spider-Man Cinematic Universe all on their own. A so-called “Spidey Summit” is planned for January to determine the fate of their flailing franchise, which is now experiencing diminishing returns with each passing film, and possibly plan a new animated film produced by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, the directors of The LEGO Movie.

CraveOnline didn’t want to cover the majority of the Sony hack, since most of the news that sprang from the leak has merely been embarrassing to studio heads and producers, and we only care about the movies they produce, and not their dirty laundry. But the fact that Marvel Studios came THIS CLOSE to producing their own Spider-Man movies is of interest to fans of both the MCU and the wallcrawler. It shows that Marvel Studios has taken an active interest in getting the character back, putting their own (web)spin on the character, and incorporating Marvel’s flagship comic book character into their popular motion picture franchise, which now dwarfs Sony’s Spider-Man movies in both popularity and box office gross.

And given the low quality of Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man movies, and Marvel Studios’ impressive track record with their in-house productions, we can express disappointment that this deal didn’t come through. Unless Sony’s “creative control” meant that Marvel Studios would merely make the films, not the important decisions about how to tell new Spider-Man stories. That would probably have been a pointless endeavor, and if that was the sticking point – which may or may not be the case, we are merely speculating – then we fully support the decision to let the deal fall through.

CraveOnline will be back with more Spider-Man news and possibly more Sony hack news, but only if it matters to audiences, not just to Hollywood insiders.
