News is breaking that Marvel and Sony have found their writer/director for the new Spider-Man franchise in Drew Goddard. Goddard had been developing a Sinister Six movie for Sony before the new deal with Marvel was made to work together.
Drew Goddard directed and co-wrote ( with Joss Whedon ! ) 2012's Cabin in the Woods. He also has writing credits for several projects including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, World War Z and Cloverfield. He was set to be a producer and show runner for Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil series before being stolen by Sony for a Sinister Six film.
Also reported is that this new Spidey franchise will carry the title "Spectacular Spider-Man", and there ( thankfully! ) will not be another origin story. Peter Parker will also find himself back in high school, and could face the Sinister Six in the first movie already.
Lastly, part of this breaking story is that the new Spider-Man movie will include Iron Man. Tony Stark would be putting Peter Parker through an "audition" of sorts to join the Avengers. Is this the big announcement Robert Downey Jr was teasing last week and it's leaking out a little early? Perhaps so, stay tuned.
