How about finishing the plot that started in ASM so they can satisfy the viewers that got intrigued with it?

Siege seems like an odd choice, Spidey had little to no part in the event and his battle with Venom provides hardly enough material for a feature film. I'd be down for a Spider-Men movie, but with Miguel O'Hara instead of Miles Morales, especially if we could get Josh Keaton and Christopher Daniel Barnes to reprise their roles. The story could be a loose adaption of the Edge of Time video game, with actions in the present affecting the future and a team-up of the two Spider-Men in the finale.

I've never disagreed more with an article.
Cosmic Spider-Man.
Sequel - Cosmic Spider-Man aftermath where the villains get revenge
Avengers had a Symbiotes unleashed where everyone was becoming a symbiote including the Avengers.
Maximum Carnage

1 - Spider-Island: blah story, no thanks
2 - Enough with the Sinister Six
3 - would like to see a live action Spidey vs Venom film
4 - Spider-Men, blah story, no thanks.
5 - I guess Siege could be a contender. That's a lot of story to set up.

How about a Marvel Knights: SM adaptation? Though they'll no doubt come up with an original story for this cartoon movie.

Sadly it will be an origin story about how Spider-man got his powers ... because you know people don't know that story and we would hate for them to be confused by this movie.

Spider-verse. Go big or go home.

I could see Spider-Men. Got Mysterio traveling between both worlds and playing the part of his alternate universe version, which seems right up his alley. Miles meeting Peter and Peter visiting a world where he died. There's a lot to be mined there.

I'd say Spider-Island if you can use the Avengers and some NY-based heroes, maybe add Animatrix-style shorts through the film to show what guys like Shang-Chi and Cloak & Dagger are doing.

If Spider-Verse, I'd say go with Miles' wacky adventures with Spider-Cowboy and the Spider-Mobile. That seemed a lot of fun and they never really got deep into their story.

I would go for a story that most fits in with an animated world, such as one that could be told within the confines of Batman: The Animated Series. I would just adapt the Ultimate Spider-Man version of Venom's origin. Not only would it be a great story, but it would cleanse the palette of Spider-Man 3's version of Venom. Anything from the original Ultimate Spider-Man run would be great.

No symbiotes. If I see this in the plot I refuse to see the film.

Andrew Garfield

Anton Yelchin

Logan Lerman

Asa Butterfield

Josh Keaton

Josh Grelle

Yuri Lowenthal

Matthew Mercer

Daniel Radcliffe

I enjoyed many of these stories, but most seem to be grand scale epics. I don't think the TASM films failed because they fell short on spectacle. I think a smaller story with one central villain (preferably a new one, like Mysterio) and more focus on character and plot would be preferable.

my only worry is if it'll be written by dan slott since you have brought up mysterio. i enjoyed shattered dimensions but with stuff like superior and the new amazing spiderman series by slott i rather have someone have a better grasp on spiderman. is phil lord and chris miller writing the movie too?

Guess there's not that many people that cares about that. I was really looking forward for Sony to end that story arc which felt really interesting. I think if they won't finish it in movies because of the whole the Marvel/Sony deal then at least do it in animation form.

yeah they should. they may not care about the films but they care more about Garfield so that's a step up. i hope they bring in the re-edited/directors cut versions of the two films. i mean have you seen the alternate ending that came out on instagram?

Todd Mcfarlane's Spider-Man: TORMENT, featuring the Lizard.

If there was EVER a comic book story of Spider-Man's to animate on the big screen...this is THE story, hands down. If not that one, then perhaps the story when Kraven captured and buried Spider-Man (can't recall the story's title, but...). If neither of those 2 stories, then have to go with the Ezekiel and Morlon story.

I can't believe "Siege" is even on anyone's list of 10, much less a list of 5.

But, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect that.

If any franchise that got cut short because of Marvel/Sony deals deserves a proper ending it's the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series.

I'd love to see Spider-Island or Spider-Men. I think both those events would make great animated movies. I find it strange that Marvel has essentially abandoned its animated efforts. After Hulk Vs, there hasn't been much in terms of DTV movies. I get that DC is dominating that category, but there's a lot that could be done with that medium. I hope this is the catalyst for more projects like this.
