Sony Is Planning An Animated Spider-Man Movie!

Spider-Man will be spinning webs all over the big screen for the next few years!

Studio head Tom Rothman announced at CinemaCon on Wednesday that Sony plans to release a Spider-Man animated feature film. It will be written and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs). No director has been named yet.

The press release states that “the film will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing.”

Currently live-action Spider-Man is set to appear in Captain America: Civil War in May 2016 and in a reboot film slated for July 28, 2017.

The animated film is set to release July 20, 2018 sandwiched between an untitled Fox Marvel film scheduled the week before and an untitled DC film scheduled the week after.

So far most of Spider-Man’s animated adventures have been great and with Lord and Miller involved there is no reason to believe that this won’t be awesome! … Is there? Let us know in the comments below.
