Kevin Feige Addresses Chances Of SPIDER-MAN Spinoffs And SPIDER-GWEN
Before Marvel and Sony made the deal to bring Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a number of Amazing Spider-Man spinoffs were in the works, including Venom and Sinister Six.
Drew Goddard has been talking a lot about Sinister Six lately, but based on comments from Kevin Feige in a recent interview with MTV News, he should probably give up hope that it's ever going to happen (in the near future at least). Asked if there are any plans to expand the Spider-Man corner of the MCU which will be introduced in Captain America: Civil War next year and then his own solo outing in 2017, he replied: "Well, there could be [spin-offs]. But the truth is, our job right now is that single Spider-Man movie based in the MCU. And that’s where all our focus is." Talk then turned to fan-favourite character Spider-Gwen, and after both Feige and producer Jeremy Latcham praised the relatively new hero, but the former would only say this when asked about the possibility of bringing her into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "I think Spider-Gwen in the comics is cool." What do you think? Would you like to see a Spider-Gwen movie? Let us know below!
