Garfield may be out as Spidey.

Spider-Man may appear in 'Captain America 3,' but not with Andrew Garfield

http://mashable.com/2014/12/12/spid...-america-3-but-not-played-by-andrew-garfield/

Despite their public protestations to the contrary, it looks like Sony is working with licensing Spider-man to Disney for use in Marvel's Captain America 3. Just not with Andrew Garfield in the spidey-suit.

The widely-rumored revelation comes from the email inbox of Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal, part of an unprecedented hack last month with new details continuing to leak out every day.

Moreover, it appears that Garfield may be out as Spider-man altogether. Garfield has been praised for his performance as Peter Parker, but his critical remarks that seemed to blame the studio for Amazing Spider-man 2's tepid box office and critical reception may have annoyed the wrong people.

Garfield also stood up Sony at a corporate dinner in July. Garfield's attendance was going to be mentioned by Sony CEO Kaz Hirai and he was supposed to sit with some top Sony executives. His absence (with less than an hour of notice) was seen as an affront and slight by the company's Tokyo bosses.

IMO, Garfield wasn't the problem. It was crappy scripts. The last two movies were not much better than SR last attempt. The new movie idea didn't do anything for me either.

I am a huge web head. Collected Spidey comics, cards, toys, etc. since I was a kid.

I tolerated some of the big changes SR made in his films (especially ditching the mechanical web shooters). #fanboy

I still have not even watched Amazing Spider-Man 1 or 2. Don't know if I ever will. Bleh. From all of the things I've read I know they would just drive me mad.

Me too with the Spidey fandom!

Go ahead and watch them. They're not as bad as you've read. Granted, the change in Peter's backstory is put offish, the Lizard leaves a bit to be desired in the first one, but I liked this version of Electro (let's face it, Electro from the comics is silly looking.)

Mind you, of course, I judge comic book movies differently than other films. Just kick back, relax, and understand that you won't be watching Dark Knight, or Raimi's Spiderman 2.

I have seen much worse but at the same time your not missing much either. Like it was said above...the back story is rubbish.
