I think they've rebooted the Spiderman movies several
times, Ni> haven't they? Sometimes I don't know why
they reboot Ni> movies so Ni> often these days.
Sony rebooted Spider-Man the first time because Spider-Man
4 was in development hell and after the critical failure
of 3 they already had a backup plan with a reboot script.
Then, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 bombed even harder and
Sony's incompetence was leaked in emails stolen by North
Korean hackers after the whole debacle with the movie,
"The Interview." Somy of Japan pushed for Sony Pictures
to make a deal with Marvel to have Spider-man in the MCU
because they thought that people might be interested in
tye character again if they did that. In the leaked
emails, Kevin Feige said Marvel Studios would NEVER reboot
the MCU, they'd only recast characters. So, ideally this
is the Spider-Man we would've gotten after Tobey Maguire
anyways, (well, maybe not Tom Holland cuz he wouldn't have
been old enough,) and it would be ideally the last movie
incarnation of Spider-Man, except Sony has been producing
non-MCU movies with Spider-Man characters so that if
their deal with Marvel Studios expires, they don't lose
the rights. Plus it gives them an already established
unuverse to plop another rebooted Spider-Man in to, so
basically, who knows what's gonna happen.
