The future of The Amazing Spider-Man film series is quite clear, especially for the next five years. The first sequel is in production, with the third and fourth films already in the development stages.In an interview with Crave Online, director Marc Webb had this to say about the proposed fourth film:
"Well, I think this was conceived of as a trilogy so there was a defined architecture to the story we were telling and we had sort of a rough outline of what was going to happen. I think [for] the fourth movie, what we've discovered is there are so many ancillary characters, that have enormous, cinematic potential that there may be other ways to exploit those characters, in a way that is exciting and fun and worthwhile. It might not just be a Spider-Man movie."
What could Webb be hinting at? A merge of the Marvel and Sony universes? Clones? The Sinister Six?
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is out next summer, with The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 4 due for release on June 10th, 2016 and May 4th, 2018.
