(500) Days of Spider-Man...

[muddi900]

Marc Webb has been confirmed as the director for the Spider-Man reboot. (http://ifanboy.com/content/articles/Marc_Webb_to_direct_new_Spider-Man)

He has said that he likes the Ultimate Spider-man, probably how Ben Affleck was the biggest Daredevil fan, but to anyone who was reading comics this past decade, Ultimate Spider-man is the only spidey that matters.


Also, Joseph-Gordon Levitt might be Peter Parker. No, there is no rumor but a nerd can dream, cant he?

[Hawkzombie]

Actually, I think he'd be a good Peter.

If this one is another origin story then count me out.

I would have to agree. They can discount the other movies, but another origin story so soon would be redundant. It's not like they swayed much from canon in the first Spidey movie; what could really be different this time around without (most likely idiotic) wholesale changes?

[muddi900]

They have already said that its going to be a hard reboot; it will be set in a high-school and will be about teenage angst. Yes, you can cringe all you want, but thats what the character is about anyway.

[Stmfuller]

This sounds like a terrible idea.
Why don't they put spidey away for a little while and focus on one of the billion and a half other marvel characters out there.

Because Sony only has the rights to Spider-Man.

And Spider-Man is one of three Marvel properties than anyone gives a shit about (the others being the X-Men and Iron Man).

That sounds both premature and horrible. The college angst of 3 was already bad.

Well its a lot more fun than that!:mad:

Basically the angst comes from Peter trying to juggle both his lives. He's also not very good at being a super-hero, as you'd imagine any teenager would be.

[Xerxes]

Hmmm, I would of skipped to when he was in college. It was still angsty.

[Zonkuya]

Will this help in the eventual merge/"crossover" of all movie marvel characters, like it should? I would be all for that.

[Spectre-7]

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Nope. Not until Marvel gets the rights back from Sony.

No, because this is a Sony movie. Until they lose the license, Spider-man won't be interacting with the other Marvel characters.

As for this reboot... well, it had to happen after the shit Rami pulled with Spider-man 3 (the worst movie that I've ever seen). I did like Ultimate Spider-man quite a bit, and so that gives me some hope, but I'll wait until I see some trailers at least before I get any kind of excitement.

At the very least, the cast couldn't be worse than the Rami movies.
