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.
Below are two tweets that were seemingly deleted right after they were posted (Thanks to BleedingCool
for the screenshot):
Shortly after those posts were deleted, Landis commented again on his twitter with the following two tweets:
innocuously make post, instantly get six furious emails, hurray for hollywood

and more recently this one:
Hey man, I love Bleeding Cool, so there’s that. Haha 5 months from now this is all gonna be real interesting.

So now the big questions is, Did The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hurt Sony bad enough for them to want to broker the character back to Disney/Marvel? In reality the answer to that question is Probably not. While its no secret that Landis like’s to play around on his twitter account and goof off a lot, but it is worth noting that he did pull the post and later comment that he got some “furious” emails.
