AsThe Amazing Spider-Man 3never went forward, one of theMarvelwriters shares about what went down afterThe Amazing Spider-Man 2. Out ofthe Spider-Man actorswho have played Peter Parker on the big screen, Andrew Garfield is the only one who never completed his trilogy. WhileThe Amazing Spider-Man 2was a financial success, its critical reception led to a domino effect that ultimately brought that franchise to an end before Sony Pictures began collaborating with Marvel Studios.
One of the writers who was attached to penThe Amazing Spider-Man 3script back in the day was Alex Kurtzman, who was recently interviewed byScreenRant’sown Liam Crowley at theStar Trek: Section 31premiere. While promoting the newest installment in theStar Trekfranchise, Kurtzman was asked by Crowley if hisThe Amazing Spider-Man 3screenplay was ever going to see the light of day, especially after Garfield’s well-received return inSpider-Man: No Way Home, as he stated the following:
Alex Kurtzman: You know, we never wrote it. We never wrote it. I did 2 and that was it for me.
What Alex Kurtzman’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3 Comments Mean
Based on Kurtzman’sThe Amazing Spider-Man 3comments,it wouldn’t be shocking if they had at least reached the point where they were discussing story concept ideas for what the third film would have focused on. Initially, Marc Webb was set to return forThe Amazing Spider-Man 3, while stressing that it would be his final one, asThe Amazing Spider-Man 4was already being eyed by Sony Pictures. But with multiple factors like the Sony hack in 2014 along with reports that Garfield had been fired beforeThe Amazing Spider-Man 3cancelation, the superhero film became one of many scrapped comic book films.
HadThe Amazing Spider-Man 3actually happened,it would have at least dealt with the introduction of Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, after her scenes inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2got cut. Since it would have also taken place after Gwen Stacy’s tragic death,The Amazing Spider-Man 3storywould have likely explored Peter’s emotional state, which was alluded to inSpider-Man: No Way Home. In the end, the world will have to simply speculate what the overall arc would have been inThe Amazing Spider-Man 3, as there were little to no confirmed details about the story.
Our Take On Alex Kurtzman’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3 Comments
WhileThe Amazing Spider-Man 3script may never have gotten a chance to be written,if Sony Pictures ever decides to resurrect Garfield’s third project, there is no reason why they couldn’t use any of the concept ideas that they may have had in mind. Even if Garfield doesn’t get his third solo film, there is always the chance that he will return tothe Marvel Cinematic Universe timelineinAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars. But for now, time will tell ifThe Amazing Spider-Man 3will ever happen in any capacity.
