Marc Webb Won't Be Directing 'The Amazing Spider-Man 4'
"I’d like to be involved as a consultant," Marc Webb told The Daily Beast when they asked him whether the deal he has in place to direct the third instalment of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise will be his last Spider-Man movie or if he'd return for the fourth. "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." That's a pretty definitive answer, and it leaves a lot of questions as to where the story will now go when 2018 rolls around if Webb intends to wrap it all up as part of a trilogy. Talk then turned to how the studio is currently going about expanding Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, and when he was quizzed on whether or not he wishes that the iconic Marvel superhero could assemble alongside The Avengers, Webb responded: "We’re building out a more complicated Spider-Man universe with characters that people haven’t seen in other Spider-Man movies—The Sinister Six, Venom, and more. We’d all love to overlap with other studios, but it’s beyond my pay grade."
