Before the news that Robert Orci is no longer part of the "The Amazing Spider-Man 3", the said sequel was pushed to hit the theaters in 2016 instead of 2015, making its spinoff "Sinister Six" grabs the release date.

Screenwriter Orci just recently announced that he will be directing the next "Star Trek" movie, leaving the Spider-Man franchise. Perhaps, the reason for not involving himself anymore with the next Spidey is that there are no clear plans yet for the film.

In a statement published at Entertainment Weekly, Orci said, "I don't know what their plans are for that franchise. I don't ever want to say never, but we have to figure out what their scheduling is in terms of when they want each movie. I've read probably as much as anyone else. There's a love for the 'Sinister Six', the idea of 'Venom'-there's an idea of Spider-Man's going to be one of these characters that's part of our business. He's such a popular character. Spider-Man's not going to go away anytime soon. When it all happens and how and all that has yet to be determined."

A lot of things were already going on prior to the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and the most significant to it was when Marc Webb was put into a tough decision: cut the scenes of Mary Jane Watson, played by Shailene Woodley. So, yes, no one had ever seen Woodley appearing in the second installment.

Just last December 2013, it seemed that everything is all right. Sony was aggressive in announcing its plans for the next coming years for the Marvel characters and even unveiled the spinoffs "The Sinister Six" and "Venom". People presumed that the anti-hero standalone films would hit the big screens after third installment has been released. However, just last month it turned out that "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" has to give way to the super villain films.
