But during a panel at the TCA Press Tour, Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Venom writer/director Alex Kurtzman gave updates on where the franchise would be headed and how involved he would be.
Kurtzman recently was announced to be creating a universe for Universal of classic Hollywood monsters. The writer is also linked with the reboot of The Mummy. Speaking with the Press Tour, though, he seemed adamant that the Spider-Man universe would take shape even though they weren't sure of what direction it was headed just yet.

Concerning The Sinister Six, Kurtzman said that having a team-up of bad guys is something he is interested in. "I am a crazy fan of movies like The Wild Bunch or Wages of Fear, where you're rooting for the bad guys. I think that's the opportunity that Sinister Six has to provide."
As for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, Kurtzman was very vague about where the franchise would be headed. Kurtzman, who wrote the screenplay with Robert Orci, recently split with Orci and both have moved onto separate project, with Orci heading up the new Star Trek film.
"It's still in conversation. Everybody is still figuring it out.," Kurtzman said. "It's all up for grabs, right now. We're just trying to figure it out."
As for when the movies would fit into schedule, Kurtzman said that his Venom movie would be coming before The Sinister Six. Sinister Six is written and directed by Drew Goddard.
For now, the future is vague for Spider-Man and Kurtzman said that a connecting world is still on the table, but nothing is concrete yet.
"Everything is still on the table, right now. Because it's a universe outside of the Spider-Man universe, even though it's connected to it, those movies have to stand on their own," Kurtzman said. "So, we'll see. We'll see how it goes."
