The revelation has fuelled existing rumours that Mark Webb's movie reboot will be based on Bendis and Mark Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man comic book series.
"Just spent a very interesting morning at Sony with the entire spidey movie team. Very very cool stuff," Bendis wrote.
It is thought that the acclaimed writer will serve as a consultant on the project, as he has with the big screen adaptations of Iron Man and Thor. Bendis has also worked closely with filmmakers on cinematic versions of his creator-owned projects.
Launched under Marvel's Ultimate imprint, Ultimate Spider-Man was a modernised reboot of the classic superhero tale. It followed the exploits of a teenage Peter Parker in New York City. The series ran until 2009.
Sony's Spider-Man reboot is scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 3, 2012.
