For those of you that missed it, an email leaked in the last couple of days supposedly revealing minutes, or notes, from Sony’s Spidey Summit meeting. Whilst it’s practically a given that the entire email and everything it suggested has been made up, it did get me thinking about some of them.

One of the more outlandish and out-there suggestions that was posited in this email was the idea that Sony would end their Spider-Man film franchise with a dimension shattering mash-up – ‘Spider-Man Vs Amazing Spider-Man’ with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield playing the leads from their respective Spidey film franchises, seemingly doing battle against each other.

It’s a completely bizarre suggestion, but following on from that Aunt May solo film rumour nothing seems particularly surprising anymore. However, this one is more than likely never going to happen given the fact that Maguire’s Spider-Man days were a while ago and Garfield and Sony’s relationship seems to have all but dissolved.

Nevertheless it is my solemn duty to discuss the possibility of Maguire’s Spider-Man and Garfield’s Spider-Man going toe to toe in full cinematic 3D in a battle to end all battles. The email itself reckons that the two cinematic spider-man actors together will net 2 billion in profit. (Although we must remember that’s not actually Sony saying that)

I disagree, and that’s essentially what this article is for, to test the water and see what all of the Spider-Fans out there think about a Spider-Man movie with both cinematic Spider-Men in it. Would you flock to see it in your droves, thus confirming the two billion estimation. Or, contrary to popular belief, are film consumers intelligent, aware consumers that will reject something like that entirely.

And even if (fake) Sony do manage to get Maguire and Garfield on board there’s literally no way the plot is going to be any good. Will they both fight over Mary Jane in a hilarious bout of misunderstandings? which one would be the bad guy? Who wins? How will two different Spideys from two different cinematic universes appearing together be explained? The whole thing is designed to end in disappointment
