We haven't even had The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and a fourth movie has already been announced, crazy Hollywood. It may not be a straight up sequel though, in a recent interview with Crave Online director Marc Webb hinted that we may well se a spin off!
With this in mind, my wee brain began to work overtime at the various possibilities that could come to fruition if the creative team decided to stray from your standard sequel and do something crazy. Speaking of various possibilities that could come to fruition if the creative team decided to stray from your standard sequel and do something crazy (I'm getting good at this), here are exactly 5 characters whom I think deserve the spin-off treatment!

Amy Pascal’s departure as co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment and chair of its motion picture group leaves Hollywood unsettled over the fate of the studio’s upcoming slate.
The biggest questions at Sony surround the Spider-Man franchise, sequels to the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and the “Cleopatra” project.
I personally don't think it will I just think they worry too much about all the wrong things.
I don't understand what there is to worry about. These are big projects that I think any intelligent new hire will want to push. When it comes to Spider-Man, hopefully it's pushed with fresh blood. The sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo seemed to be going nowhere anyway and any reasons for that have just been excuses, I feel.
Honestly I see this as a good thing. More people in those positions need to leave ASAP because they are destroying the company....
If she was was responsible for Amazing spiderman 2, then good. She ruin it with the change. The marketing team should also step down, they spoiled the entire film in the trailers

J. K. Simmons was easily the highlight of Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy in the eyes of many - and many have been clamouring for him to return to the role. Well, it appears that it could be more likely than we thought!
I love J.K. enough not to care about continuity anymore. Gimme J.J. and I'm good to go.

Sony's Sinister Six movie looks to be inching closer to production with 2 Spidey films in Sony's release slate. What does this entail for Andrew Garfield and the Spider-Man franchise?
Doesn't really change a whole lot.
I wish they would do something and bring in Spider-Gwen though, that'd be super sweet!
This entire shenanigan screams of desperation and I sure hope it's only theoretical. 2016? That's in only 2 years; surely the Marvel/Sony talks didn't fallen apart that fast, but I can't blame Marvel for giving up on saving the series if Sony can't save itself.
There's nothing I wanna see from the Sinister Six as it stands. Ironically, I'm loving the casting for the Suicide Squad, meanwhile. DC has its head straight when it comes to anti-heroes. Spider-man still can't get around mustache-twirling villains.
