Sony isn't looking to give anything back and I believe the contract doesn't have an end date so long as they are commercially active in the franchise. Part of the reason why they quickly greenlit Amazing Spider-Man and fast tracked its release was to avoid the franchise rights reverting back to Marvel.
Now, they're going full boar with the expanded Spidey universe films. Sinister 6 stand alone and Venom movies. At least 1 is confirmed to be released before Spidey 3- maybe 2?
Garfield seems pretty resolute in 3 being his last. I wonder how much the events of 2 and if you know anything about his personal life pushed his decision about remaining with the role?
Just read: Before this year's release, Spider Man has made 3.3 billion - by far Sony's biggest cash cow. That's just for 4 films.
Counterpoint I read that's a good point. Marvel only has a budget and ability to do X number of films on their universe. If he returned in house it would kill any chance they would ever option to make a full feature movie like they are going to for Antman, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, GotGalaxy, etc.
