In addition to Drew Goddard being rumored to helm the new ‘Spider-Man’ reboot, Latino Review is reporting that Iron Man and the Sinister Six will make an appearance.
Spider-Man is set to make his first Marvel appearance in ‘Captain America: Civil War’ which also features Iron Man. This could lead to a Tony Stark appearance in the reboot and the site is reporting that a major scene takes place between the web crawler and the billionaire. The scene is going to show Spider-Man and Iron Man facing off as a sort of audition to get into the Avengers.
‘The Sinister Six’ movie that is scheduled for Nov. 11, 2016 is rumored to be cancelled, along with all of the other Spider-Man spin-offs currently in development at Sony. Fear not though because the Sinister Six are expected to make their first big screen appearance together in the reboot.
‘Spider-Man’ comes to theaters July 28th, 2017.
‘Sinister Six’ writer and director Drew Goddard has reportedly been hired by Sony and Marvel to write and direct the first Spider-Man movie under this new deal between the two studios. None of this has been confirmed by Marvel or Sony.
Reported by Latino Review, this news also comes along with the news that Sony is canceling all of its Spider-Man movies and spin-offs. The reboot has also reportedly been given the title ‘Spectacular Spider-Man’ and will follow a much younger hero than the one portrayed in previous films. Also the filmmakers are looking for an unknown actor who can grow with the character and be a part of the franchise for many films.

Sony is developing ‘Sniper Elite’, based the books by ‘American Sniper’ co-authors Scott McEwen and Thomas Koloniar.
The film will center on a team of former Special Forces operatives that tasked with stopping Chechen terrorists from smuggling a Russian nuke across the Mexican-American border. The movie is set to be directed by Jaume Collett-Sera.
Sony has begun thinking about who will be cast as Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movies, eyeing Dylan O’Brien (Teen Wolf & The Maze Runner) and Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson).
Sony and Marvel are looking to portray a very young Spider-Man in these films, so their age and appearance is important. Both actors are 23 and have proven they can pull of characters in high school with Logan Lerman in the Percy Jackson series and Dylan O’Brien in the MTV show, ‘Teen Wolf’.
Ultimately Sony has the final say according to the deal and fans shouldn’t consider this concrete proof that they are looking to cast one of these two actors. Reports also indicate that Peter Parker may not even be in these films and that Miles Morales will be Spider-Man. If this is the case, O’Brien and Lerman do not fit the bill because Morales is mixed race, African-American and Puerto Rican.

In the deal between the two studios, the new Spider-Man will make his first appearance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Sony releasing a stand alone on July 28, 2017. The films will be produced by Marvel exec Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal, who recently stepped down as head of the studio. This deal still allows Sony to retain complete ownership of the Spider-Man brand and have distribution, financial and creative control.
Disney CEO, Bob Iger had this to say about the deal:
“Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s great characters, beloved around the world. We’re thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building.”
They also announced that they are exploring options to integrate other Marvel character into the Spider-Man universe. Spider-Man’s first appearance could be ‘Captain America: Civil War’ due to the stand-alone’s proximity to its release date.
