It's no secret that THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN had almost been connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe when Disney/Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures agreed to include OsCorp Tower as an Easter egg in THE AVENGERS. Unfortunately, timing constraints forced the studios to scrap the idea. Since then, TASM producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach has showed interest in continuing their relationship with Disney/Marvel by incorporating Marvel Easter eggs into TASM sequels, Andrew Garfield has expressed interest in being in an Avengers sequel multiple times, and director Webb wasn't shy to admitting he wanted to acknowledge a larger universe in the Blu-ray/DVD commentary of the film. Marc Webb's latest tweet, in response to Sean O'Connell's tweet that Marc Webb is planning to make a massive Spider-Man universe on film, rather cryptically could foreshadow Spider-Man will debut in Marvel's expanded universe. 

 

Some recent transactions between Disney/Marvel and Sony has made fans' spider senses tingle. Of course Disney bought the merchandise rights to the Spider-Man franchise, and it is widely speculated that part of the deal allows them the use of Spider-Man in some form. A character in Marvel Studios' short film ITEM 47 can be seen wearing an Empire State University t-shirt (ESU's film rights are owned by Columbia Pictures/Sony), and ESU should be familiar to Spidey fans as the college Peter Parker attends. A deleted scene from TASM shows Dr. Curt Connors mentioning ESU, and it is rumored The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may feature the school. Even more tantalizing, Target's recent commercial featuring Iron Man and Spider-Man was, for lack of a better word, odd. OsCorp Tower was in fact going to appear in The Avengers, so there it's very plausible that Spider-Man's presence in the MCU could be solidified in TASM2.

Please. Please let this happen...

 

Think back to the Avengers movie, and recall that epic scene near the end when Hulk joins the battle, and the camera pans around the group standing back to back... now imagine if Spiderman had been standing there.

Or at the very end, when Loki is defeated, and he looks up at all of them and they're just standing there, silently judging him... now imagine if Spidey was there.

Or at the end credits sequence, when they're all eating their shawarma, what if Spidey had been there, eating right alongside them...

 

It would have been epic. Hopefully they can come to some epic agreement and merge the rights by the time Phase 3 comes about. Who doesn't want that?

Nooo, Spider Man Doesn't Belong In The Avengers, That's Just My Opinion

Ha Ha, I'm Pretty Sure Almost Every Marvel Hero Has Been In The Avengers In At Least One Comic Writers Version Or Another. Saying "In The Comics" Means Lots Of Things. I Know He Has Been In A Few Avengers Comics. Does That Mean He Should Be Counted By Everyone As An Avenger?? Well, He Has Also Been A Memeber Of The Fantastic Four, Should We Consider Him A Member Of That?? I Sure Don't
