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.
