Marvel News: Amazing Spider-Man Future, X-Men: Days Teased

All the latest on The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and beyond, plus a new Future Past teaser!
The superhero film industry continues to march on in its quest of cinematic domination, not least through its frontrunners' seemingly daily marketing updates regarding its latest big-screen instalment. Yesterday saw the release of a bunch of new details on The Amazing Spider-Man blockbuster franchise and a Vine mini-teaser trailer for this Summer's crossover-sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Without further (or should that be future? No, of course it shouldn't, we take it back.) ado, then, here's our round-up of everything that's hot right now in the world of Marvel's secondary studios:
  • THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3 DIRECTOR ANNOUNCED- Sony Pictures confirmed last night that Marc Webb will direct the third motion picture instalment in their rebooted Spider-Man franchise. With this reinstatement, Webb has become the first director since Christopher Nolan to helm all three instalments of a superhero trilogy, and although details of the cast are still rightly under wraps, Andrew Garfield has confirmed that he's contracted to reprise his role as Peter Parker and his wall-crawling alter-ego for (at least) this high-octane climactic outing. The Amazing Spider-Man 3 hits cinemas on June 10th, 2016.
  • VENOM & THE SINISTER SIX RELEASE SCHEDULE TEASED- Amy Pascal (the co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment) moreover revealed the studio's intentions for its franchise's immediate future. "We are expanding the Spider-Man universe into The Sinister Six and Venom", she said, "So [...] we [will] have Spider-Man movies every year". By the sounds of it, The Amazing Spider-Man 3's 2016 release will precede a 2017 launch for The Sinister Six, a 2018 début for The Amazing Spider-Man 4 (already officially confirmed and dated) and a 2019 première for Venom, all of which will ensure that Sony pit their one and only owned Marvel character against Marvel Studios and Fox for at least another five years to come (for better or for worse, we suppose)!
  • X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST VINE TEASER RELEASED- Director Bryan Singer has unveiled a six-second teaser clip (a YouTube version of which can be found below) for 20th Century Fox's upcoming ensemble flick X-Men: Days of Future Past. This promotional update doubtless implies that a full new trailer is on the way, and as soon as it's announced and/or has landed, you'll be the first to know right here. X-Men: Days of Future Past assembles in UK cinemas nationwide this May 22nd.
For all the latest news, reviews and features on Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures and 20th Century Fox's upcoming superhero film releases, keep it On-Screen in the days ahead!
