Could J.K. Simmons Return to Spider-Man?

From the original Spider-Man films, one of the most (if not the most) beloved character is the hotheaded newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson, as played by J.K.

Simmons captured the true spirit and essence of the character to give one of the best performances in a comic book film to date.

After the (although not financial) failure of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , the state of the Spider-Man movies has been in limbo. Will it go back to Marvel ? Will Sony simply continue on?
