I really enjoyed the first amazing Spider man. I was hesitant since I was a fan of Toby's but hated the 3rd movie. I loved the Amazing Spiderman but never got around to seeing the 2nd one. Maybe it's because I didn't like Jamie Fox's Electro (Love Jamie Fox but hated the dweeb persona he had to play) or maybe it was finding out Gwen died either way I couldn't bring myself to watch it. Still haven't seen it but thought Andrew was great and thought he stole the show in NWH. By the time they would have been in talks for a 3rd movie I believe they had already made the decision to put Spiderman into the Avengers. There were a lot more reasons for what they did other than a supposed 'bomb' at the box office. I also think people have had some time to reflect and realize the movie itself isn't that bad. People are so in the moment with movies. Like saying NWH is the BEST MOVIE EVER but give it a few months or a year and people will look back and see the flaws. There is never time allowed to just breath and reflect.
That all being said, what I really love about the MCU, Fox, Paramount is that they never 100% get rid of their characters. DC does this and it pisses me off. a movie does 'poorly' and suddenly it needs an immediate reboot, not giving the actors a chance to redeem themselves or for the next movie to tweek issues. I still fully believe Superman Returns deserved a sequel. But it's what DC does. X-men, I wasn't a fan of the 3rd movie at all. Kinda ruined the franchise and though they did soft reboot the story with a younger cast, they still used the original actors and threaded them into the stories. People hated the first Wolverine movie and instead of throwing Hugh Jackman away, they took some time, retooled the movie and made a better one. Same here with Spiderman. Bringing Andrew and Toby back into the fold show that they were not forgotten and completely thrown away. There is room for 3 Spiderman now and I think Andrew deserves a 3rd film.
Edited to change 'Disney' to 'DC'. for some reason I keep using 'Disney' for 'D' words in my post, lol

Superman Returns does not deserve a sequel because it never should have been made in the first place.
They were trying to do a 1970s style sort of sequel to the first two movies, but with 2006 technology.
It just didn’t work. With all the stuff that has been done in the comics after the Reeve films ended, Superman needed to be done differently and more on par with the 21st Century. Man of Steel and its sequels delivered on that front.
