Sony confirms plans for an animated Spider-Man film for 2018!

Big news, Spidey fans! It appears that Sony is moving forward with the rumored animated Spider-Man film!

It was announced today at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada by Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group chairman Tom Rothman that they are developing an animated film that has a scheduled release date of July 20, 2018.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street series, The Lego Movie) are currently attached to the project to write and produce the animated film. The film will exist independently of the live-action Spider-Man films, the first of which is set for a 2017 release. This new film will not affect either Sony's films or Marvel's films where Spider-Man will also be appearing.

As a big Spider-Man fan, I am very excited to see Spider-Man getting the attention he deserves and I believe that an animated Spider-Man film could be absolutely amazing! Would you head to the theaters to see an animated Spider-Man fighting crime in New York City?
