Another series of internal Sony/Columbia e-mails has been "found" discussing what Marvel had envisioned for Spider-Man if he were to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The email is dated November 2, 2014 and is written by Andrew Gumpert, one of the many Presidents at Columbia Tri-Star Pictures to Amy Pascal, Co-Chair of Sony Picture Entertainment. The email contains notes from a meeting that Andrew Gumpert had with Marvel Studios, in the end Andrew Gumpert implores Amy Pascal to accept the deal because they are not going to get a better deal from Marvel AND it is in the best interests of SPE to protect their most important asset.
- Peter Parker would make a Cameo appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron in which he would meet Tony Stark / Iron Man.
- In Captain America: Civil War Peter Parker / Spider-Man would make a series of appearances, more than a cameo but less than a full blown part. He would meet with Tony Stark, who would provide PP/SM with an upgraded suit and gadgets. PP/SM would later meet (fight?) with Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff in the final third of the CA:CW.
- A stand alone Spider-Man film would be released between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1. The stand alone film would be part of MCU canon, and suggested it not have a large focus on the relationship between Peter Parker and either Gwen or Mary Jane. Instead the film would focus on SM dealing with a street level villain in New York after the events in CA:CW, in a universe where super-heroes are divided into two groups.
- Spider-Man would appear in both Avengers: Infinity War films as a supporting character, not a full blown member of the Avengers but far more than a cameo.
- Following the Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 another Spider-Man film would be released.
What's interesting about this email, from Andrew Gumpert one of several President of Columbia Tri-Star to Amy Pascal Co-Chair at Sony Picture Entertainment is it suggests that SPE produce their own Spider-Man films, not Marvel. One can read between the lines and see that Marvel is suggesting that Sony finish the TASM story arc. It also suggests that Marvel's stance on Andrew Garfield has softened from earlier emails.
In reading the email it appears that Amy Pascal is the one standing in the way of getting a deal done; which sort of jives with previous reports is she wants to protect SM and only do this if there is nothing else that can be done.
