Knowing our luck, we'll get Zac Efron as Peter Parker.
Hannah Montana as Gwen Stacy!

Heck, I'd be surprised if they even went with Gwen Stacy for the reboot. One of the first movie's biggest mistakes was using Mary Jane instead of Gwen, IMO.Hannah Montana as Gwen Stacy!Knowing our luck, we'll get Zac Efron as Peter Parker.
I hope they just use the first film to establish the new Spidey and his relationship with Gwen, and then make the Green Goblin the villain in the sequel, which ends with Gwen's death (well, not ends, but...you know what I mean).
Make it a trilogy, with Norman as the arc bad guy. The first movie has him on the periphery, maybe doing something to accidentally create the first villain.
Movie two, he gets involved with the mob, deliberately makes villains to fight Spidey, decides he wants to control the mob.
Movie three, he becomes Green Goblin (keep the transformation as an accident, to mirror Peter), begins his campaign to rule the mob, finds out Peters' secret, kills Gwen before dying himself.

The problem is, is this; are they going to develop Spider-Man in a separate universe than the Avengers? I thought Marvel wanted most of their tent poles movies to flow with one another?
BTW I think Disney might have a silent hand in all of this. Spider-Man is one of the most recognizable superheroes outside of Captain America, Batman and Superman. He is an American icon. Something tells me, Disney wants to make this movie sooner than later.

^The Spider-Man films remain Sony productions. For the Avengers-related movies so far Marvel have partnered with Paramount (Iron Man) and Universal (Incredible Hulk) but they retained the rights.
Besides, until recently, Spider-Man was never really a core Avengers character.

He was a reserve, but he did have classic groupings with guys like the Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man...
It's too bad they aren't moving him in with the Avengers.
Sub-Mariner, Beast and Wolverine all have been members of the Avengers and the X-Men, but the rights to all of them reside in aplace other than Marvel's hands.
I would love to see Marvel Productions re-gain the rights to all of Marvel's properties (especially Spider-Man), but sadly, I don't see that ever happening.

Yes, but if I was to sit down and write a list of who I think the classic Avengers are, Spider-Man (as much as I love the character) would not be anywhere near the top.
In my view, the Avengers in this movie should be Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man/Giant-Man/Goliath/Yellowjacket, Wasp and the Hulk.
I imagine, however, that the wife-beater part of his character will be too hard for them to ignore.
How I hate the way that has taken over the character.
Nerys Myk, have you been reading Don Slott's Mighty Avengers? He's been bringing us a new Hank Pym, more focused and on the ball, not only leading a new team of Avengers (the best new Avengers book since the old, classic book folded up), but given larger responsibilities by none other than Eternity himself. Of course none of this is to say that Pym still isn't a little... eccentric. He has taken the name "Wasp" to honor his dead wife and is currently in a relationship with Jocasta, a robot with his dead wife's brain patterns.
And while the wife-beater thing still is occasionally brought up, most recently by Norman Osborn...
...the character himself seems to have finally moved past it.

(possibly paraphrasing here as I don't have the book in front of me.)
Osborn: You still beating up women?
Pym: You still throwing them off bridges?

Peter himself smacked MJ once, but no one ever held it against him.
Of course, Peter immediately felt remorseful and felt he was less than human because of it (and he had just found out he was a clone, not thinking straight. He didn't know it was MJ he hit). Hank didn't feel bad til later, and he was in the middle of doing some real nasty stuff when he smacked Jan...

I never got the idea of mechanical webshooters. I thought the idea of organic webshooters was much more natural and uhm, organic.
I am in the process (laborious, tedious) of reading the Essential Avengers ( I pick it up in between other titles) and Hulk while he's there at the start, drops by the wayside very early on. Iron Man (and all the others) are too distrustful of him.
Yeah, as was pointed out at the time of Raimi's first movie, the idea that a teenager can invent something that has defeated scientists is too silly even for a movie that requires us to suspend disbelief anyway. Plus the idea of the organic webshooters added to Pete's whole sense of being an outcast and a freak.
