Should Marvel Studios Give Up On Spider-Man?

Flickering Myth: I would love to see Spider-Man appear in the MCU at some point but personally I would leave it for a bit. If they can get a cameo in Civil War then great, but I don’t want the MCU to become solely focused around Spider-Man which I fear it would become. Marvel started off without Spider-Man and have built one of the most successful brands in Hollywood – they should really let him go for the time being.

Spider-Man is most definitely in the top 3 most popular superheroes still. It's just the last two films weren't that good.

I also don't think Spider-Man is overused. Had the films been good, you would not think that. For some reason, the author thinks that Marvel Studios Spider-Man films would be bad just cause Sony made bad films, therefore they should give up. That's silly.

Not to mention, fans have been begging for an MCU Spider-Man since it's inception. So no, they should not stop pursuing and they won't.

I liked Garfield as Peter but the films were not great.

Agreed, also aren't negotiations still going on right now?? Why in the world would they just drop it? And he states that if Spidey really did jump ship, he would only be in minor roles until his own movie in phase four... BULL!!! I highly doubt Marvel has been in these negotiations for this long just to turn Spidey into the new Hawkeye (sorry Renner). If Marvel did get Spider-man back I'm pretty sure they'd switch some things around and find space for him somewhere in Cap3 and The infinity war. Look at every Avengers cartoon or the Lego Marvel game. Spidey is always right there assisting the Avengers. Marvel obviously wants him, he's one of their flagship characters. He'd add some insane amount of hype and open the doors to some insanely awesome stories, that's just too good to "drop".

Come on Sony do the right thing. Do it for the fans. I want to see Spidey in other movies too.

They should never stop pursuing such a high-value asset as him. Spiderman is one of the most popular superheroes out there. And just because Sony fumbled in hiring incompetent screenwriters for the ASM reboot series doesn't mean Marvel would do the same.

I do think that he is unnecessary to the MCU. Look what they did without Spider-Man. They can keep doing great without him.

coolbeans3419d ago

Sure, the've done a great job without him. Just imagine how much better it could be with him and his interesting set of powers + villains.

It won't change a thing. It's not that important as it seems.

They shouldn't give up on him. Diversity it's good.
