‘Avengers 3’ Cast: Spider Man Crossover In The Works? Sony Wants Changes And Marvel Wants To Use Their Characters Back!

Perhaps the most explosive Comic book movie news would be a confirmation of the current rumor buzz which has Sony working with Marvel to include Spider Man in a crossover, possibly with the Avengers.

Now, the speculation about this has been circulating for quite some time now but there has never been a concrete claim. There were also suggestions that instead of pursuing the Infinity Stones storyline for Avengers 3, they would have the Civil War storyline instead.

But the Civil War storyline has Spider Man and Wolverine as very important players and their roles in that arc would be difficult to re-assign. The Infinity Gauntlet would be an easier task, and Marvel has headway with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy crossover to settle that.

No matter what storyline they pursue, adding Spider Man into the mix would be great for the franchise. Sony is reportedly trying to lock up Andrew Garfield for the long term. He is a more believable Spider Man than Tobey Maguire was. The criticism for the franchise is not about him, but the dismal attempts at building the universe.

On the other hand, Marvel seems to have stamped its class on Universe building. They are the standard that all other film outfits want to follow.

Hitfix had the bold claim:

"While I can't get the confirmations I need to verify the story, I'm hearing that there are some very cool "Spider-Man" plans being discussed that would help Sony refocus their enormously important franchise while also opening up some connections in the onscreen Marvel movie universe that would blow fandom's minds. Will it work out? I don't know. I would love to be able to state for sure that it's happening. What seems clear from what I've heard is that Marvel wants to be able to play with all of their characters, and if they can make that work creatively and on a corporate level, they will, and that means the world gets bigger again."

Yet, it's not a direct claim but it's something to build on. Stay tuned, we'll cover every step of this news.
