The last year has been quite a rollercoaster ride for the Spider-Man movie property. After fans were expecting The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to deliver the first "real" Spider-Man movie since 2007's Spider-Man 3 (flawed though that was), ASM2 suffered a decidedly mixed critical reception and brought in the lowest box office grosses of all five Spidey movies to date. This caused Sony to re-think their strategy towards the web-slinger's movies, leading to the jaw-dropping announcement last month that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios would be teaming up to bring Spidey back to the screen, starting off with an appearance in Captain America: Civil War (likely in a post-credit scene) before he gets his own solo movie released on July 28, 2017. Despite being one of cinema's more accessible superheroes to date, Spidey hasn't exactly had an easy time for the last 8 years or so. Spidey 3 was disappointing, the whole reboot business proved divisive, and then ASM2 fell far short of expectations, so hopefully Sony and Marvel will be taking all of this on-board when they give the character a soft-ish reboot.
