The Web-slinger lands on the MCU

Hey guys,

BREAKING NEWS

Sony and Marvel Studios announced yesterday that Spiderman will appear in an upcoming Marvel movie. Whether that movie is Captain America: Civil War ( Highly likely) or any other is still unknown but the big news is that Sony made the deal.
The announcement also stated that a stand-alone Spider-Man movie will be coming to theaters on July 28th 2017 which means the delay of the previously announced Marvel movie Slate. This will mean that Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, Captain Marvel and the Inhumans will move their original release date to make room for the webslinger.

Now, for a long time I have been a fan of the idea of seeing Spider Man team up with the Avengers but recently I changed my mind. I honestly would rather have a poorly written and poorly directed movie like The Amazing Spider Man 2 rather than having a movie about Spider man which feels more like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Don't get me wrong, I admire what Marvel have done so far, they have been able to create a shared universe which is great but never the less almost every movie released by Marvel/Disney have been movies designed for kids with light themes, movies where practically nobody dies and where the villains always loose. On the other hand Sony have released Spider-Man movies full of drama which allowed us to witness beautiful scenes and most of all well-acted scenes ( i.e. Andrew Garfield realizing Gwen's death)

Another reason which leads me to not be happy about this deal is that I don't what see Garfield replaced by another actor and I don't want a new Spider-Man. I think that Garfield portrayal of both Peter Parker and his alter ego was far better that Tobey Maguire's performance in the same role and honestly I want the story to move on rather than to start from scratch one more time. We were promised the Sinister Six next year (obviously we are not going to get that) and we were promised a Carnage/ Venom  movie but with Marvel busy movie schedule maybe none of these promises will be kept.

The one upside to all of this is that we'll get to see Spiderman fight alongside Captain America and Iron Man of maybe only one of the two.
Stay tuned for more news.
