The recent Sony hack, which disseminated sensitive information on the
company's practices and projects has been the subject of much talk over the
last week or so, and while I personally didn't really paid much attention to it,
this subject was much debated a few months back.
According to The Wall Street Journal, e-mails to and from Sony's Motion
Pictures Chief Amy Pascal have been released, and they revealed that there were
discussion between her, various Sony executives, and Disney's Owner Robert Iger
about the rumored (now true) inclusion of Spider-Man into Marvel's Cinematic
Universe.
"Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad tells Ms. Pascal about a
potential scenario that would see Marvel produce a new trilogy of Spider-Man
movies while Sony retains 'creative control, marketing and distribution.'"
One other mail reveals that Spidey's Marvel debut was going to be in Captain
America: Civil War.
However it seems that the conversation broke down, and a "Spidey
Summit" is planned for January of next year. The Wall Street Journal adds
that "among projects in development are an animated Spider-Man comedy that
would be produced by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the team behind “22 Jump
Street” and “The Lego Movie,” as well as previously disclosed Spider-Man
spin-offs focused on villain team Sinister Six, super-foe Venom, and women from
the webslinger’s life."
