Hi, it’s macattack. I fully admit I suffered from burnout at the end of February along with some personal difficulties, but now I have returned to posting again. I do intend on covering more of Titanfall, once I can figure out how to get my Xbox fixed or replaced. Anyway, onto news, and a follow-up to my previous “Marc Webb” article posted some time ago. The Daily Beast of all places has an interview with Marc Webb, and it reveals that once his contract ends with 2016’s “Amazing Spider-Man 3”, he will be finished directing the franchise. However, he wishes to stay involved with the franchise, and interestingly has suggested crossing the title over with Marvel’s other properties, even though Sony has no rights to them. “I’d like to be involved as a consultant, and I’ve already talked to these guys about it, but in terms of directing it, that will close out my tenure.

Looks a bit on the weird side. Then again, Gobby’s Power Ranger getup in the original 2002 film wasn’t exactly the greatest thing since sliced bread either. Clearly, Sony has high hopes for “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”, even in spite of screenshots like that. As the Variety article helpfully shows, Sony doesn’t exactly have much else to bank on. Spidey better perform, well, “amazing” for them. Yeah, I’ll stop now. Re-posting the trailer below.

Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard are going to collaborate on an expanded universe for the “Amazing Spider-Man” universe that began with the 2012 film of the same name. Namely, films based on the popular villainous character “Venom” and also “The Sinister Six” will be written and developed for the big screen. Along with producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, and director for the first two “Amazing Spider-Man” films, Marc Webb, they will establish a continuous tone and storyline throughout the films as they are made and released.
