Max Landis, the writer of the film Chronicle, has seemingly made headlines today via this twitter account when apparently revealed that Marvel would be getting Spider-Man back after their recent outing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was pretty much torn apart by critics.

Shortly after those posts were deleted, Landis commented again on his twitter with the following two tweets:
