Why does it have to be a trilogy?

^I didnt say they had to make them seperately, as long as Andrew looks young enough, they could make 4 movies in 10 years, and then go beyond.

Why does it have to be a trilogy? Because believe it or not, the cast and crew will eventually get burnt out on these movies. It happens. It's human nature. They don't want to be tied to this series for 12+ years of their lives just to make 5 movies to please the fanboys.

I say quality over quantity anyway. Give us three high quality films and then move on. If you need a continuing saga, go read the comics.

You're wrong. Andrew LOVES Spidey. I bet he'd be willing to stay around for 12 years. The cast are huge fans of Spidey themselves, and if its kept interesting, I doubt they'd get burnt out. Just look at Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the Harry Potter cast.

Also for the last time, IT ISN'T A DAG ON TRILOGY! THEY SAID ATLEAST, ATLEAST THREE MOVIES!! I'm sorry but if you don't know what that word means go look it up. Google is your bro.

Which word? "DAG ON" or "ATLEAST"? Neither of these are real words. Did you mean "doggone" and "at least"? lol. Google is your bro.

As far as we know from what Webb and Sony have confirmed, yes, they planned this as a trilogy. do you have a link that provides information that says otherwise? I'd love to see it.

I don't doubt that Andrew loves Spider-Man, but I highly doubt we'll get more than 3 movies with this cast/director.

We'll see...

As of now, the current story arc with Norman Osborn and the missing parents is most likely going to resolve after three movies... hence a trilogy. Yes, they did say the franchise would be "at least a trilogy, so I can definitely see Sony making more than three films, perhaps even making a Spider-Man Cinematic Universe (or something along those lines).

Keep in mind that Sony must make a Spider-Man movie EVERY 5 years or else they lose the film rights to Marvel/Disney.

Keep in mind that they said "at least a trilogy" regarding Raimi's films as well...and we never got a Spider-Man 4.

why not make a trilogy, but make the 3rd a two part film. A 5 hour film split into two have the first part introduce the symbiote and have a side villain that ties into the peters parents storyline (oh or the obvious green goblin killing gwen stacy, if she doesnt die in 2nd as norman osbourne probably has alot to do with peters parents) introduce eddy brock and have him turn into venom right at the end. then in the final part have a movie about venom and carnage. As carnage is probably the most evil character in the universe. they could make a climatic final film, where peter discovers the truth about his past and his parents. Also eddie brock's parents could be involved.

I would love if the movie was more than a trilogy.

People assume that it will end at a trilogy simply because that's how many movies they have planned.

You guys don't understand how Hollywood works when it comes to big franchises like Spider-Man. First, they make a movie. If the movie turns out to be a success, they plan a whole trilogy. If the whole trilogy turns out to be a success, then they go beyond just 3 movies. We are currently as "stage 2" AKA a trilogy being officially announced and that is because we got past stage 1 since the first movie was successful.

The same thing applied to the Raimi franchise. First they had plans for 1 movie. Then it was a success so Sony made plans for 3. Then all 3 were a success and Sony made plans for 3 more. It just happened that the production on those 3 movies planned fell through due to time restrictions and disagreements within the production crew.

I really think it is ridiculous how people think that this is set in stone for it to be a trilogy. I even hear people saying they shouldn't do the Death of Gwen Stacy because it would be a sad ending for "this finite trilogy". Some people really need to learn how Hollywood works when it comes to big franchises like these, especially superhero franchises (but. Heck, even Nolan's Batman franchise wasn't originally planned to be a finite trilogy. WB said back in 2008 that they wanted the "current franchise" to have 7 movies which obviously didn't happen. It wasn't until production on TDKR started, when Nolan said this will be his last movie and that he wanted a closed ending because he's not coming back, that it became official on paper that Nolan's franchise is a trilogy.
