“We could not be more confident in the direction we are taking this new Spider-Man storyline and we are tremendously excited to be ramping up production again with Marc at the helm and Andrew continuing on as Peter Parker. We can’t wait to share what we have in store for Peter and Spider-Man with audiences worldwide.”
Production will kick off early next year. The first film in this latest “Spider-Man” series grossed $751 million worldwide. The first installment of Sam Raimi’s trio of “Spider-man” films raked in $821 million worldwide.
