After Amazing Spider-Man 2, was panned by critics, did not perform as expected at the box office (still made money) and the loss of writer Roberto Orci things didn't look well for the third installment of the franchise, but according to Sony, Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be released... in 2018(?). The Sinister Six movie will be released (apparently) in November 2016 (and who knows what will happen to the Venom spin-off)
Amazing 2 was not a great movie, it was OK. I don't feel like Mark Webb (the director) had the freedom he needed to tell his story. Sony was obsessed with the idea of having a "cinematic universe" of their own and (in what I think it happened) keep forcing characters and plot points until the movie turn into a mess. Much like what happened with Sam Raimi in the third Spidey film.
Could this be the end of the Amazing Spider-Man franchise? Who knows. We have to wait and see if Mark Webb and Andrew Garfield return. Four years seem like a lot of time but that ow much we waited for The Dark Knight Rises. But the fact that the Sinister Six movie will come out 2 years before Amazing 3 could be a problem if it under performs.
