Spider-Man: Homecoming' anticipation thread
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
On the other hand, all the Spiderman films to date have tried their hardest to skip over his high school days as fast as possible, so why not try something different? Plus, the MCU roster of heroes needs diversifying asap. Bringing in younger heroes can help with that (and most of the younger heroes in the Marvel universe aren't popular enough to carry their own film series - but Spiderman is...)
Sgt. Pepper
Lieutenant Commander
Opinions?
Dear Marvel/Sony,
Stop making long term plans for Spidey that you not be able to follow up and then you will want to reboot him once again. Here's a better idea, come up with a good story with no expectation or assumption of a sequel. Just write a self contained story and if it does well, do another and so on. Spider-Man is my favorite Marvel character and I've spent hard earned dollars on your movies which I've enjoyed even the worst of them. I'm tired of disappointing plans that fall through and I'm tired of reboots. Just make a good movie and it will take care of itself.
You obviously haven't been keeping up with the current version in the comics.
I have, but I don't know what you're getting at.
Latino Review is reporting that Butterfield has been cast:

Wouldn't it be awkward if his voice changed in the middle of shooting?
Give or take 5 1/2 years....
I think it's a really good choice. I know we've technically already seen the "high school years" in a couple movies, but this time it'll be nice to see a guy who genuinely looks like a young high school kid interacting with the grown up Avengers.
I think that alone would make a huge difference, and also make this seem unique enough from the previous Spideys.

Can't be long now before we get the first photoshops of him in a spider suit.
And the Hollywood Reporter has apparently tweeted "maybe not" for Asa Butterfield. Essentially, he screen tested this week, but they also are planning on screen testing others. We're apparently still in a holding pattern. It's either Asa Butterfield or Tom Holland.
My personal preference is for Holland, but both are really good choices for the role.

I'm not sure that it was down to Garfield so much as to disappointing earnings for the last film. Yes, there was that episode where he missed some appointment with Sony executives but had TAS2 been a box-office success, I doubt very much that we'd be getting a reboot, regardless of his behaviour.
