The Ultimate Spider-Man scribe recently told fans through Twitter that he had attended a meeting with the film team, prompting rumours that he was on board the movie as a consultant.
However, he put an end to the speculation with a follow-up tweet.
Bendis said: "[I] see quite a few web sites completely making stuff up that I never said or hinted at. I did not say I was now the writer of the movie.
"The movie has a writer and a damn good one. And as was just announced I am writing my own movie for Universal based on my GN fire (on sale now). All I said was I had an interesting morning over there in spidey land. And I did!!
"Speculation is all fun and good, rumour? Sure, but there's a difference between that and completely making stuff up. On a slow nerd news day, I could almost understand it, but you had all this weird DC news to make stuff up about."
Director Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot is scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 3, 2012.
