So milking it. Any other franchise would be able to hand the Sinister Six, Venom, and Peter's past in three movies if they wanted to. Heck, those are the three movies.

And if we do get a fifth film, Andrew Garfield will be pushing 40 by the time that comes out. Maybe a bit too old to keep playing the character.

Also, not really the director's plan. Marc Webb's a gun for hire, showing what Sony wants him to.
