Is Activision Making A New Spiderman Game?

Yesterday, Activision announced their earnings report for the last quarter. They have announced that they made giant $200 million profit on a $1 billion earnings. However, the real piece of video game news behind this announcement is some new game releases were hinted at within their financial report.
Dropped into the financial report were some hints that we could be seeing new games for Spiderman, Tony Hawk and James Bond. The president of Activision, Mike Griffth, did confirm the new James Bond game, however, he failed to mention the Spiderman and Tony Hawk games. Unfortunately, nothing really was said about the games, just that they’re in development.
The most recent Bond game was released by Activision, and it has been one of the best James Bond games so far. That game featured the adventures from 2 films, Casino Royale and the more recent, Quantum of Solace. That game was built by Treyarch, the makers of Call of Duty: World At War, which might be why it picked up so many good video game ratings. However, Treyarch was not mentioned as the developers behind this new announcement.
Nothing was also said about the storyline because currently there is now new bond film released. so really we have no idea where the storyline could go, it could be based entirely on a new story, a previously released film, or many even a prequel to a yet to be announced film.
As for the other 2, there have been a number of hints at a new Spiderman film being announced, which no doubt would also get a game so that one is a possibility. Finally, the last game hinted at, Tony Hawks, I don’t think this is going to happen because with Tony Hawk: Ride being released in November, I don’t believe they would try and release a second so quickly after Ride. Although, you never know what they will release next, we’ll just have to wait and see.
