Director Marc Webb has said he won’t be directing The Amazing Spider-Man 4. Webb directed the forthcoming Amazing Spider-Man sequel and will be returning to helm the third film, but that’s as far as he’ll go. Despite stepping away from Sony Pictures’ fourth instalment, Marc revealed that he would like to be involved in the process of creating it. He told The Daily Beast: ‘I’d like to be involved as a consultant and I’ve already talked to these guys about it, but in terms of directing it, that will close out my tenure. ‘I’ve had so much fun doing it, but after the third movie it’ll be the time to find something else.’ Sony has scheduled The Amazing Spider-Man 3 for a June 10, 2016 release followed by The Amazing-Spider Man 4 on May 4, 2018. As well as those two follow ups, Webb divulged that ‘a more complicated Spider-Man universe’ is in development including spin-off films starring some of Spider-Man’s nemeses such as The Sinister Six and Venom. ‘We’d all love to overlap with other studios’ he added, ‘but it’s beyond my pay grade.’ As far as overlapping with other studios goes – could we see Spider-Man popping up in an Avengers movie one day? The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield, Jamie Foxx and Emma Stone, is out April 18. Metro
