A couple months ago Sony Pictures announced that they will be drastically increasing the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe. Not just the current Amazing Spider-Man storyline but will be adding Venom and The Sinister Six to this cinematic universe.
Now today Variety spoke with Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal about the Spider-Man franchise and she admits they want to release a Spidey universe film once a year:
“We are expanding the ‘Spider-Man’ universe into ‘The Sinister Six’ and ‘Venom,’ so that we have ‘Spider-Man’ movies every year,”This is along the lines of what Disney is doing with Star Wars. Having the main Episode storyline every other year with spin-offs in between each Episode film.
Last we heard was that Alex Kutzman (Star Trek, Fringe) is in line to write and direct Venom along with collaboration with Roberto Orci. While Daredevil showrunner Drew Goddard is in line to write The Sinister Six.These spin-off films have yet to have a release date though...
Lastly, the report indicates that director Marc Webb will return for The Amazing Spider-Man 3
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits this May
