Marc Webb's duties directing Spider-Man will end with Amazing Spider-Man 3.

Speaking in an interview with The Daily Beast , the director revealed that the third film will "close out my tenure"."I’ve had so much fun doing it, but after the third movie, it’ll be the time to find something else," says Webb.But that doesn't mean he wants to walk away from the web-slinger entirely, saying he'd like to remain on to shape the growing Spider-Man cinematic universe. "I’d like to be involved as a consultant, and I’ve already talked to these guys about it."Interestingly, Webb was also asked if he'd like to see Spidey meet up with other characters from the Marvel universe."We’re building out a more complicated Spider-Man universe with characters that people haven’t seen in other Spider-Man movies—The Sinister Six, Venom, and more," says Webb. "We’d all love to overlap with other studios, but it’s beyond my pay grade."Is Webb doing the right thing by bowing out at number three? What director would you most like to see take over the Spider-Man franchise in 2018, the scheduled release date for Amazing Spider-Man 4 ? (You've got to think ahead with these sort of things.)Let us know in the comments below.
