| Sony and Marvel Developing Venom and Sinister Six Solo Features
Sony Pictures’ long-term plans for its blockbuster Spider-Man franchise have been getting bigger with each week that brings us a new image, trailer, or poster for their upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Last week alone we were treated to a new banner poster and first trailer that revealed Marvel Comics’ classic arachnid-powered superhero (Andrew Garfield) would be taking on at least three new villains in Electro (Jamie Foxx), the Rhino (Paul Giamatti), and most unexpectedly Spidey’s old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) suiting up as either the Green Goblin or a Goblin-like baddie of some variation. Early reports indicated that the events of Amazing Spider-Man 2 would be setting up the first appearance of the super-villain collective the Sinister Six in a future sequel.

| Andrew Garfield Says He’s Not Signed On For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 4’
It came as a huge surprise to every Spider-Man fan when it was announced that there would be two more Amazing Spider-Man films to come out after the upcoming sequel. It became apparent that Sony was trying to establish a world that Marc Webb had created, and thus began the Sinister Six speculation. It made a lot of sense considering that two more films would be more than enough to set up that world and build up to one of the greatest threats that the webslinger has faced in his hero tenure. But being signed on for The Amazing Spider-Man 4 film is all news to Andrew Garfield, who claims “I’m under contract for another one after this. As far as a fourth one”¦ that’s not anything to do with me.” Which is strange, because news of there being two more Spider-Man films being released in the future – the third is due out in 2016, with the fourth due out two years after – has been out for a while.

| ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Banner Poster Shows Electro, Rhino, Green Goblin
Last week you may have seen a fuzzy image floating around of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 banner poster that will soon be hitting theaters. This poster featured the previously announced villain Electro, a better look at how Rhino would be portrayed in the film, and what appeared to be someone floating on a glider alluding to the Green Goblin (or possibly Hobgoblin). Now, Sony Pictures has released an official and much higher resolution image of those posters via Twitter to scour over and scrutinize every detail including a better look at what does appear to be the new film version of Green Goblin, who up until now had only been rumored to make a possible cameo. In addition to the poster, an official synopsis has been released for the film. Check out the synopsis and take a look at the banner poster for yourself below.

| Spider-Man Spin-Off Films May Be In The Works Says Sony Pictures Exec |
 |

Disney has their Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fox has the X-Men Franchise, and Sony has Spider-Man. But the thing that Disney and Fox’s superhero franchises have that Sony doesn’t is a self contained universe or cohesive storyline (no matter how sloppy the X-Men chronology really is). Sony had rebooted the franchise completely, leaving Sam Raimi’s version unfinished. So in attempts to make sure that doesn’t happen again, the studio made plans to make films until at least The Amazing Spider-Man 4. It has been rumored that these films would build up to the webslinger facing off against the Sinister Six and that fourth film would not be a traditional webslinger film in a sense, instead turning its attention to other characters in Spider-Man lore. Now we are seeing how that may work as plans for Spider-Man spinoff films have surfaced. According to The Wrap, Sony Pictures exec Amy Pascal told investors “We are going to access Marvel’s full world of Spider-Man characters, so be on the lookout for new heroes and villains.”
