Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel
Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of
Spider-Man.
Under the
deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's
Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next
installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film
that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy
Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together,
they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony
Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative
control of the Spider-Man films.
Marvel
and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from
the MCU into future Spider-Man films.
The new
relationship follows a decade of speculation among fans about whether
Spider-Man - who has always been an integral and important part of the larger
Marvel Universe in the comic books - could become part of the Marvel Universe
on the big screen. Spider-Man has more than 50 years of history in
Marvel's world, and with this deal, fans will be able to experience Spider-Man
taking his rightful place among other Super Heroes in the MCU.
Bob Iger,
Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said: "Spider-Man is one of
Marvel's great characters, beloved around the world. We're thrilled to work
with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and
franchise building."
"We
always want to collaborate with the best and most successful filmmakers to grow
our franchises and develop our characters. Marvel, Kevin Feige and Amy, who
helped orchestrate this deal, are the perfect team to help produce the
next chapter of Spider-Man," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony
Pictures Entertainment. "This is the right decision for the franchise, for
our business, for Marvel, and for the fans."
"Sony
Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man
universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new
level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the
future," added Doug Belgrad, president, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion
Picture Group.
"I
am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to
produce the next Spider-Man movie," said Marvel Studios President Kevin
Feige. "Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of
the world’s most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully
deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU.
I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU,
something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to
for years."
Spider-Man,
embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of
Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion
worldwide.More on Marvel.com: http://marvel.com/news/movies/24062/sony_pictures_entertainment_brings_marvel_studios_into_the_amazing_world_of_spider-man#ixzz3RLMO1SY6
