Get ready for Captain America: Civil War May 2016!
Last May, the entire script for Captain America: Cival War leaked and went public. While Marvel Entertainment remained quiet on their unfortunate mishap, the company spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, regarding the upcoming release of their summer blockbuster, Ant-Man.
Film star, Paul Rudd, opened up on living out his super hero dreams in the forthcoming project, as Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige finally confirmed some important news. Spider-Man is set to make his first appearance in the upcoming 2016 Captain American 3 film, through the new partnership with Sony Pictures. However, he teased that future films from Sony could see an invasion of its Marvel characters, for projects to be announced soon.
With Marvel Films set to miss this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con, take a look at the brief interview below.
After Civil War, how much will Marvel be involved in Sony’s Spider-Man movie?
FEIGE Well, we’re producing it for Sony. It’s exciting, and we’re treating it like we treat all of our films. To try to make the best version now of Spider-Man and a version of Spider-Man that inhabits this universe that we’ve created. We’re in lockstep with [Sony Motion Picture Group chairman] Tom Rothman and [producer] Amy Pascal at every turn.
So some of your Marvel characters will show up in the Sony Spider-Man movies?
FEIGE Specifics of the story aside, the agreement that has been made between Sony and Marvel is that we could do that.
Do you risk giving up any of your autonomy by working with Sony?
FEIGE Without getting into the contracts, it’s definitely a Sony picture, produced by Marvel Studios. We’ve been working with each other for a number of months now. It’s been just as healthy as any of our internal discussions. We just look at it as having additional team members. We wouldn’t want to do it if we couldn’t do it in the way we’ve done all the other movies, and I think that’s what Sony wants from us.
