Spider-man is Officially Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe

It's Happening! Marvel has just officially announced that the deal with Sony Pictures regarding the future of Spider-man has been officially sealed and that the web-slinger superhero will join the Avengers in the on-going  and highly successful Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Yes you read that right! I know that a huge number of fans or almost all the followers of  Marvel universe have been wanting this particular thing to happen, to bring Peter Parker a.k.a Spider-man in the same universe where Thor, Captain America, Ironman, Hulk and the rest of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes are existing.

Marvel says in the announcement through their website...

"Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a 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, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

So we can now expect Spider-man to appear or at least have a cameo in the upcoming Marvel movies before he gets his new solo film on July 28, 2017 which will be produced by Sony and co-produced by Marvel Studio's President Kevin Feige together with his "expert team at Marvel" and Amy Pascal.

Rumors are suggesting that the first movie Spider-man will appear is in the Captain America: Civil War which is to be released in May of 2016 however if we based our judgement on the day this announcement was made which is today, rearranging the scenes in the script to include Spidey is a bit too late so that's not probably going to be the case, but still has possibility.

Now if you can still remember it, the July 28, 2017 date was originally reserved for Thor: Ragnarok. To make way for the new Spiderman solo film, Marvel moved the opening dates of a couple of its films. The Thor: Ragnarok will now be released on November 3, 2017, Black Panther to July 6, 2018, Captain Marvel to November 2, 2018 and Inhumans to July 12, 2019.

So far Avengers Infinity War films' release dates stay the same where Part I is on May 4, 2018 and Part II on May 3, 2019.

Sounds like we are now going to see a new actor playing the upcoming Spider-man superhero that will be part of the MCU.
