ICv2.com is reporting that Laura Ziskin, one of the producers of the first three Spider-Man movies, has confirmed that they will be moving forward with new Spider-Man projects with or without the original cast.
Sony plans on moving forward because Marvel has a "use it or lose it" clause in its licensing agreement with them. The First three films have grossed over $2 billion in box office receipts making the franchise far too valuable to let go.
