It's official: Spidey is heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!!!

This was one of the most popular rumors that surfaced during the Sony hack last year. After Amazing Spider-Man 2 didn't perform as expected, the Web Crawler is heading home. Sony will still have control over the character but let's hope Marvel can give the hero their creative input. Spider-Man will appear ina future Marvel movie (Captain America 3 maybe).
Marvel and Sony, please, NO MORE ORIGIN STORY. If you want to give the viewers the most classic version of the character, have him working as a photographer at the Daily Bugle, struggling with money, love and helping his aunt as best as he can.

What I want for Christmas

It's that time of the year! Christmas is a special time, it makes adults feel like kids again. Decorate the house with thousand of lights, wear ridiculous clothes of accessories, care about each other and brainstorm what would you want to give... or receive as a present. Well, these are the things I would love to (but surely won't) receive on Christmas!

Spidey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

 Source IGN, following the Sony Pictures hack, some documents have surfaced that present some kind of deal between Marvel and Sony for the use of Spider-Man in the Captain America 3 - Civil War movie. In the comics, Peter Parker was essential to the Civil War storyline. Spoilers!!! After Peter develops a man-crush over Tony Stark, he choose to side with the Registration Act and unmasks himself. But later changes his mind, sides with Captain America. These events lead to the One More Day storyline, were Spider-Man makes a deal with the Devil so everyone forgets he is Peter Parker and  his aunt survives a fatal injury at the cost of his marriage (I really hope they don't include the last part in a movie).

It seems that the deal is not going to happen, which is unfortunately since it  would have been a great opportunity to let someone else handle Spidey. The unnecessary need of cramming as many characters into a movie and not letting a director and writers do their job is what is killing the Spider-Man franchise. Since this deal involves a ton of money, it seems very difficult for the Wall Crawler to return to Marvel's hand, but the deal seems more likely now than it was a year ago. Having Spidey interact with the Avengers would be awesome. Nevertheless, Marvel can use another character to fill Spider-Man shoes (Ant-Man, Black Panther or even Daredevil). Whatever happens to Spider-Man, I hope it doesn't involve a reboot!

No “Clone Saga” Teaser, Marvel?? I’m insulted.

In the last couple of week, Marvel released multiple teaser images from past events with a “Summer 2015” date. People speculate it has something to do with a multiverse crisis (hey, that’s DC’s department!). But they missed this gem from the 90’s. Love or hate it, The Clone Saga is one of the most controversial Spider-Stories ever. Marvel, you also missed Annihilation, Mutant Massacre and The Dark Phoenix Saga.

Guardian of the Galaxy figures for Disney Infinity

It's been years but still is hard to believe that Marvel is owned by Disney. A set of Guardians of the Galaxy figures for the popular Disney Infinity game (it's like Skylanders) will come out for the 2.0 update. The figures look petty sweet to put on a desk or shelve. Now, seriously, where is the X-Men set? We have an Avengers set, a Spider-Man, a Guardians of the Galaxy set and no X-Men (yeah, not even Wolverine). A lot of Marvel's most popular characters are members of the X-Men. I hope they released a set of Marvel's Merry Mutants or at least sell them individually.

Amazing Spider-Man 3 future

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.
