The movie, which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson because the longtime Spidey adversary, was initially alleged to open in theaters in October of this 12 months. Now it won’t arrive in theaters till the very finish of subsequent summer season. And that assumes the strikes are resolved in a fairly well timed vogue.
