"We grew up as huge Spider-Man fans," Kurtzman and Orci said in a statement. "To us, the opportunity to work on this film is akin to being handed the Holy Grail. We love the direction Sony and the filmmakers are taking the Peter Parker/Spider-Man mythology and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this legendary franchise."
