The Amazing Spider-Man in Avengers 2....maybe

One of the hottest rumors this past Spring was that the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man would be making a cameo appearance in- the then forthcoming- Marvel's The Avengers.Well sadly it was indeed only a rumor and Spidey never appeared. But does that mean he won't appear in an Avengers sequel? Not necessarily.

Avi Arad, former Marvel Studios President had this to say about the subject. While doing publicity for Sony's Amazing Spider-Man he was quoted as saying this:
Everything is possible,” Arad said. “If something like that happens, it’s great for Disney, it’s great for Sony. If the right story comes in, we are now working on Venom first. It’s our first out. So our thinking is in the right direction. Avengers to me was an expected success so I never looked at it because Avengers was successful.”
So it sounds like it could at least be in the 'realm of possibility'. As of right now Disney has the licensing rights to Spider-Man and Sony has the film rights. An appearance in Avengers 2 would mean big bucks for both companies. And what corporation doesn't love money?
