Yesterday at Cinemacon Sony announced another Spider-Man movie. The difference is it will be animated. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the guys behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jumpstreet, and The Lego Movie) are set to write and produce the movie. No word yet if they will direct. The movie will be a stand alone film and not associated with the live action Spider-Man that is being introduced in a Marvel movie and will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The animated film is scheduled to be released July 20th 2018 which is almost an exact year after the live action version due July 18, 2017. That's two different Spider-Man movies in the span of 1 year plus whatever other Marvel movies he shows up in. Is that too much Spider-Man?

The official Press Release is below. 

LAS VEGAS, Nev., April 22, 2015 – On July 20, 2018, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and 21 and 22 Jump Street, are taking Spider-Man back to his graphic roots with the first-of-its-kind animated Spider-Man feature, it was announced today at CinemaCon by Tom Rothman, chairman of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group. The film will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing.

Lord & Miller are masterminding the project, writing the treatment and producing the film.

As previously announced, Spider-Man will next appear in a live-action Marvel film from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, a live-action film being produced by Kevin Feige at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. The animated film from Lord & Miller, dated July 20, 2018, has Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Pascal also serving as producers.

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.
