The Amazing Spider Man 3 and Venom on Hold, Spidey Character to be Given Another Reboot?

Officially, The Amazing Spider Man 3 full movie has been pushed to 2018, possibly sometime May, to make way for two Spider Man spinoff movies, according to Sony. Firstly, there is the Sinister Six, a movie about a team of the amazing Spider Man's villain characters, particularly Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Rhino, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter, and Mysterio, which may come out in 2016 and which will be directed by Drew Goddard. Then, it will be followed by Venom which is rumored for a 2017 release and which will be directed by Alex Kurtzman. However, all that may change now if it's true that Sony is already reconsidering its plans for Spidey's future with the studio.

According to Devin Faraci of Badass Digest, "Sony is going to soft reboot Spider-Man with The Sinister Six, having a new actor playing a Spidey who works with the villains The Dirty Dozen style to take down a larger threat." Also, the studio "is going to put Spider-Man on the shelf for four or five years and see if they can develop any of the side characters into their own franchises." And according to Faraci, "I've also heard that Venom is functionally dead again." At this point, The Amazing Spider Man 3 wiki fan site is still silent even on a tentative The Amazing Spider Man 3 plot or storyline if ever there will still be one.

A lower than expected performance at the box office by Spider Man 2 may have been a factor for the cancellation of the previous The Amazing Spider Man 3 2016 release date. Also, writer Robert Orci had to leave the franchise to work on the Star Trek: Into Darkness movie as director. In any event, the third film in the rebooted trilogy, should it push through as originally announced, will continue to be directed by Marc Webb who said it will be his last for the franchise. It will also have actor Andrew Garfield back as he is already attached to reprise his Spider Man/Peter Parker character for the third reboot Spider Man movie.
