Amazing spiderman 3 delayed and in limbo?

I wonder if Sony's dire financial troubles themselves is leading them to thinking about ditching the movie license.

Sony has been in dire straights for years, with many predicting their bankruptcy in the next couple of years.

There are fans out there wishing that the Spider-Man rights go back to Marvel Studios.

Considering the best Marvel can do with Spidey is that god-awful Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, I'm in no rush to see them tackle him in a movie.

I'd like to see Joss Whedon write a Spiderman movie.

This would be good.

The best thing to do with a Spider-Man and Avengers crossover movie would be this. In the background after a destructive action scene in the city, you see Andrew Garfield with glasses and a camera taking pictures of the Avengers during the aftermath of the conflict. No shared dialogues, no spoken lines for Garfield, he is just a background cameo. And maybe later he sits in a cafe drinking coffee with Stan Lee.

THIS. Subtle and perfect.

That piece of crap is all Jeph Loeb and Man of Action who have nothing to do with the MCU. That said, even if Marvel got the movie rights back they need to put the character on ice for a while. They need to distance themselves from the ASM universe for as long as possible.

It might not be made by Marvel Studios, but it is a big indicator of what Marvel are capable of turning Spidey into with a hack like Loeb's lord and master Joe Quesada still holding the keys to the kingdom. Marvel under him have done everything possible to deconstruct that franchise all over the spectrum, not just with television, but with the comics too. They have substantially dumbed down the character over the years and, in cases like the Ultimate Universe, have done away with Peter completly (which seems to have worked out for them with Miles Morales)

So no, I don't trust Marvel at all with Spider-Man. They are not interested in handling him with care or even evolving him.

Hey, that's a good idea. But the Andrew Garfield bit brings up an interesting question: if, by some miracle, Marvel got Spidey's rights back, and tied him in to the MCU - would you want it to be another new continuity, or would you want it to be a continuation of ASM's storyline? I think I'd personally want to keep all the ASM actors, but ditch the old storyline.
