However, the popular character will continue to appear in movies produced by Sony. According to the _Hollywood Reporter_, Spider-Man will [likely first appear](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-swings-marvel-studios-772127 "undefined") in the Marvel-produced _Captain America: Civil War_. The superhero then returns to Sony for the next installment in its $4 billion franchise, due out in 2017. The _Hollywood Reporter_ also says that actor Andrew Garfield is not expected to reprise the character he played in 2012’s _The Amazing Spider-Man_ and its 2014 sequel. This means that audiences can expect to see their third Spider-Man actor since the Sony franchise kicked off in 2002\. But the Sony-Marvel deal also means that moviegoers can savor the tantalizing possibility that other Marvel characters — which include Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk — will be able to pollinate future films. Spider-Man was a Marvel Comics creation, but the company licensed the character to Sony Pictures’ subsidiary Columbia in 1999. ### See How Marvel's Wolverine Has Evolved Over The Years  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3702551/spider-man-marvel-studios-sony-pictures-entertainment-production-deal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3702551/spider-man-marvel-studios-sony-pictures-entertainment-production-deal/"},"headline":"Marvel Studios Will Produce the Next Spider-Man Movie","datePublished":"2015-02-10T06:36:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:05:44.965Z","description":"Spidey returns to his spiritual home","url":"https://time.com/3702551/spider-man-marvel-studios-sony-pictures-entertainment-production-deal/","keywords":["movies","Marvel","Spider-Man","The Avengers"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1d8e45c1202d50ba/69877e68cd684875aa0999a9/154266557.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1d8e45c1202d50ba/69877e68cd684875aa0999a9/154266557.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"BRITAIN-ENTERTAINMENT-HOLLYWOOD-COSTUME","caption":"BRITAIN-ENTERTAINMENT-HOLLYWOOD-COSTUME","creditText":"Ben Stansall—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3702551/spider-man-marvel-studios-sony-pictures-entertainment-production-deal/","name":"Marvel Studios Will Produce the Next Spider-Man Movie"}}]}] ```
