Roberto Orci not currently involved with The Amazing Spider-Man 3

The Amazing Spider-Man 3’s schedule has been slung into doubt as, speaking with IGN at the end of last week, Roberto Orci – longtime, but recently split, collaborator with Alex Kurtzman (the duo who wrote the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – has confirmed that he is not currently involved with the next instalment in the franchise, saying:

“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 any time soon. When it all happens and how and all that has yet to be determined.”
