Spider-man Films Confirmed for 2016 and 2018

Sony has announced today that they have schedule two more Spider-man films after Amazing 2. They’ve confirmed the dates as June 10, 2016 and May 4, 2018. These dates are rather peculiar, because of the inconsistent release months of the prior entries. Amazing SM 1 was July, ASM2 is April, and these two add on June and May? I’m not sure actual goal of these dates, nor if cinema traffic will really get along with them, but there is now confirmation that Spider-man will be filling the silver screen for the next 5 years. If they’re continuation of Andrew Garfield’s character is unknown as well, as there  may be side stories, due to the press release stating these “fill in the stories of Peter Parker” and a Venom movie has always been something people have wanted. Read Sony’s press release below and predict where Spider-man’s stories can go in the comments.
