Marc Webb may strike a deal allowing him to direct Spider-Man 2.
The director previously looked unlikely to return to the Columbia Pictures franchise for a second film, due to a contractual commitment with Fox Searchlight.
Fox is considering allowing Webb to return for the Amazing Spider-Man sequel in return for upping his contract with the studio from one film to two, according to Los Angeles Times.
Webb and Columbia are both reported to be keen to see him helm the follow-up to the Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield-starring movie.
Screenwriting superstars Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have been hired to work on the script for the comic book movie sequel.
Columbia/Sony declined to comment on the rumors and a Fox spokesperson was not immediately available.

The Dark Knight Rises is an upcoming 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan and the story with David S. Goyer.
It's understandable, then, thatThe Dark Knight Rises arrives on the back of deafening hype. It also promises to do something unprecedented for a comic book franchise - bring the curtain down on its three-film story arc with a definitive full stop.
The action picks up eight years after the events of The Dark Knight as Bruce Wayne, battered and bruised from his years of fighting crime, has retreated to his mansion as a Howard Hughes-like recluse. Thanks to the Harvey Dent Act, organized crime has been quashed and Gotham is safe. In peacetime, Batman isn't needed anymore.
The harmony doesn't last, however, as Tom Hardy's terrorist Bane - introduced in a daring mid-air plane hijack - arrives on the scene. A blend of hulking physical power, impressive intellect and strange English gent accent, his MO is to tear Gotham to the ground through crashing the stock market and reigniting the city's streets of fire with an underground army. It's a smart and socially relevant plot point in the wake of 2008's market crash and last year's Occupy movement.
This unstoppable force must meet an unmovable object, though, and Bruce is forced to don the cape and cowl again to stand up to the masked psychopath, who turns a Wayne Enterprise energy reactor into a giant bomb. It's a race against a ticking clock, and swirling around the Dark Knight's quest to stop him are old allies James Gordon (Gary Oldman), Alfred (Michael Caine) and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman). They're joined by Wayne Enterprises board member Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard), determined Gotham cop John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway).
The latter is a revelation as a leather-clad thief robbing from Gotham's rich and powerful, and it's her encounter with Bruce that helps shake him back into action. Hathaway effortlessly slinks through the performance, turning on seductive charm one moment then switching into a brutal ass-kicker the next. All concerns abut her performance evaporate after her first encounter with a hobbling Bruce at Wayne Manor.Like an expert orchestra conductor, Nolan is able to balance summer movie thrills with some exceptional character moments. Alfred, so long Bruce's trusted butler, has his loyalty tested when his employer chooses to go beyond the limits. One exchange between the pair (referencing Rachel's underlined final letter from The Dark Knight) is perhaps the most heart-wrenching moment of the trilogy.
The Dark Knight Rises barely lets up throughout its two-hour, 45-minute running time as Nolan precision-engineers a full-throttle blockbuster with the walloping, Hans Zimmer-backed action sequences of The Dark Knight and the emotional weight of Batman Begins. It's the events of the 2005 series restart that tie very closely to what unfolds in Rises, as Bruce's past and present collide for a jaw-dropping trilogy closer. The Dark Knight Rises is intelligent, heart-pounding spectacle cinema that grips like a vice from minute one and won't let go.
The Ice Age saga reaches its fourth installment this week as Manny, Sid, Diego and crew finds themselves separated from their families and drifting across the ocean on an iceberg that's barely big enough to hold them all. It's all kick-started by that loveable saber-toothed squirrel Scrat, again causing havoc in pursuit of a slippery acorn. This time he plummets down to the Earth's core and spins it around at great speed, dividing continents and pulling Manny (Ray Romano) away from Ellie (Queen Latifah) and their daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer).
Along the way they pick up Sid's granny (Wanda Sykes) - a relentlessly chatty 80-year-old sloth - to add light relief, and encounter a band of sea pirates led by Peter Dinklage's giant ape Captain Gutt. The new antagonists offer up a chance for Denis Leary's Diego to get romantic with fellow saber tooth Shira (voiced by Jennifer Lopez), and provide some visual contrast between the chilly landscapes of the first two Ice Ages and the more colourful locales of 2009's Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
From the main characters' encounter with a dangerous storm to the deadly siren creatures they encounter, directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier have crafted the finest looking Ice Age yet. However, scripters Michael Berg and Jason Fuchs struggle to bring much new story-wise to proceedings.
Core trio Manny, Diego and Sid are as entertaining as ever on their high seas adventure, but a jam-packed supporting cast means that many of the characters are left with little to do. The mother/daughter bonding subplot for Ellie and Peaches never carries much emotional heft, while the latter's romance with mammoth Ethan (Drake) is equally snoozy.
Scrat has traditionally been the biggest scene-stealer in the Ice Age series, and here he's on top form as he breaks apart continents, gets lured into a siren's trap and, best of all, makes a journey to 'Scratlantis' where he meets a wise rodent voiced by Patrick Stewart.
Previous films have also used him to great effect, but they've been lively enough and engaging enough in the bits inbetween for you not to notice Scrat's absence. In Continental Drift, you find yourselves twiddling your thumbs waiting for the squirrel to show up and generate some chuckles.
Ultimately, Ice Age 4 feels very much like it's a sequel for a franchise running out of steam. The jokes don't quite stick anymore, too many new characters are introduced (including mammoths voiced by Nicki Minaj and Glee's Heather Morris) in a bid to inject new life into the story, and there's little real excitement beyond the 3D CGI spectacle.
