Garfield is almost glover's age. Also despite the age Glover still looks young as in young adult young. Watch Community and he naturally fits as a college student. Since it's not gonna be a origin story then having spidey be in high school seems like a low possibility.
Given the SonyGate leaks, Marvel wants to put Spidey in high school to contrast the older heroes, so they're gonna cast younger than Glover or Garfield. Besides, it's not like Marvel has a lot of compelling young heroes (there's Kamala Khan, but they need to release Captain Marvel & Inhumans first).

What about Young Nova?

...*crickets*
lol

Anyway, for those who don't get the joke, Kid Nova isn't exactly setting the world on fire. Hell, his comics are in the cancellation zone in terms of sales. Plus the Nova set-up in Guardians is for Richie (as Rhomann Dey's presence indicates).

They do but they grown up. Dick Rider started as a kid,

Miles Morales. He's the newest spider man in the comics. Also lol at it making him black means "trendy" holy shit

Sorry you think black people are a trend.

Miles is ok but I like Peter better. And I'm half-black myself so let's not try and push that angle I know you're going for. I just don't like when established characters get changed for the sake of it. I'd be equally as annoyed if they tried to, for example, make Cyborg white in Batman v. Superman.

Screw the nerdy, beta Peter Parker. We need a Spidey who commands respect and strikes fear of in the heart of all who oppose him:

If the rumours were correct, it's going to be a younger Spidey. Like high school.

From what I've heard the movie would be high school he has his spider powers and he's been doing the spider man thing for a year or two this wouldn't be an origin take it would just pick up with the audience knowing who Peter Parker is and run with it. Which would be smart of marvel.

Sorry you think black people are a trend.

More of the trend to replace established characters. The "new" Thor, Spiderman, Captain America... it's definitely a trend in the comics and it's kinda dumb. Of the three the Cap one makes the most sense, with having Steve Rodgers depowered it makes sense for his buddy to take over for a while until he ultimately reclaims the title. the Thor / Beta Ray Bill was a better way to do this though.

Having said that, if you wanted to cast Donald Glover as Peter Parker, I'm down with that.
 
A black kid in new york and a white kid in new york would have 2 very different stories. Especially nowadays.
Uh, how so? I mean you are right about thr kids having different stories, but what part of Peter Parker's story wouldn't fit? If you look at the demographics of Queens in 2015, maybe, but even Peter Parker as we know him wouldn't fit in today.

Bring back Tobey as adult Spiderman
I'm serious
. Like someone earlier in the thread said, I grew up in awe of the originals as a kid, so whiny ass nerdy spiderman is the icon for me. Gyllenhaal also works. Garfield just came off as a gigantic douche as both Spiderman and Peter Parker (the former I can understand, but the latter I didn't like).

Runaways (Marvel has a script, but don't expect that until Phase 4 at the earliest. Marvel needs a key young hero now)
Nova (If you mean Kid Nova, he isn't exactly popular seeing as none of his toys or comics sell. If you mean Richard Rider, his best stories are him as an adult, & Annihilation can work extremely well as an origin story for Richie.)
Young Avengers (Not enough young heroes for that)
Kate Bishop (we need a movie titled Hawkeye and Hawkeye) (Maybe after Jeremy Renner's contract is up)
.....Yeah.
 
Stop and frisk
That's a fair point in reality actually, of course the life experience of a black teenager would be different. I was thinking more in terms of the broader shades of his origin story. Though I'm sure you could draw parallels between stop and frisk and the police getting on Spider-Man's case if you were creative. It would certainly Make his relationship to police more thematically interesting, though I doubt they would do that in the MCU. In the fictional reality this wouldn't be much of an excuse.

He's got the look and comedic sense. Perfect.

Since they go for Peter Parker it should be someone like the Maze Runner guy. Pls don't do a racechange, it would feel like Marvel just wanted to milk every possible headline then.


You could get Donald glover later for Miles morales, though to be honest I really dislike Miles Morales' Comics
 
I cannot picture jake being spiderman because of his age, spiderman is suppposed to be young and have youthful problems to fight with that's what makes him so popular because he is relatable. I don't want a spiderman who is worried about his 401k.

Wasn't there already someone in mind when the leaks were going on? I remember some emails were throwing around names.
