I really don't get the Garfield hate...he was a great Spider-Man and honestly thought the Parker issues were more with the writing and direction than Garfield...
Some of the posts here seem pretty low too, even compared to the crap seen on Gaming side...

He was probably done before this announcement. He was very vocal about his disappointment with how ASM2 turned out, which is the goddamned truth, but not the kind of thing the guys who are paying the bills actually want to hear out loud.

I'm not the one that just suggested Spider-Man's inclusion in the MCU will give his starring film a 1.3 billion+ bump over The Avengers.

This better be worth Captain Marvel and Black Panther being delayed. :\

Yeah despite his movies being trash I actually wouldn't have minded bringing back Garfield.

It's a shame Garfield and Stone are out.
They have such phenomenal chemistry. Stone would be the perfect MJ.

Everybody.
Ehh, i'd settled for him though. As long as the new guy is no Garfield then i'll be fine.
Have you heard of Instagram? Facebook? Tumblr? Twitter? They're everywhere.

Having around a 40% cut of the proceeds on a guaranteed BILLION dollar movie in 2017 (just a guess, but I think I remember that number getting tossed around in one of the documents, right? Shit. I can't find the stories now) plus that merchandising is a pretty good deal. Plus the brand gets strengthened on top of that.
Marvel is a company that has capitalized on the audiences' thirst for branded experiences. Has almost redefined it so far as filmmaking goes right now. Spider-Man is their most well-known brand, STILL. They get a chance to revitalize that brand, get a cut of the billion it's guaranteed to make at the box office, AND have the character appear in their own films on top of that.
It's a solid deal for them.
I could totally see Logan Lerman being Spider-man. Peter Parker is roughly 5'10 in the comic book.
Lerman is 5'9. Brown hair, can look like a nerd, just need to buff up a tiny bit and bam. Spider-man.

I'll say that for myself, I loved Garfield and I thought he played a solid Spidey. I think most of the flaws with ASM and its particular Spidey were the product of poor script-writing.
Great news-but I'm not entirely happy about the blurb regarding Sonys creative control. I'd feel much better about Disney having total control and Sony getting a big cut of profits.
Regarding JK Simmons, I too heard the Howard Stern interview and now I wonder if JK will be in Civil War? It would make sense to have JJJ ranting and raving about the Registration Act-or it's MCU counterpart.

Rumor is he was a jerk to work with with at times so I really don't care how he feels.
Now cast this guy. Do it.
Actually not a horrible idea.

I want a mid-30s established Spider-Man so we can get over all the high school drama stuff:

Reasons it won't be Donald Glover
-The press release itself already says Peter Parker
-He's too old
-Will be even older when he would first appear
-While talented (Troy was my favorite char on Community), he's kind of a weirdo
-Marvel is looking for team players, and Glover already bailed on Sony once (Sony makes Community)

*whispers very softly* I also think Zac Efron could be good as Speeder-min...

I don't see Marvel wasting a lot of time on another origin movie. They know that pretty much everyone at this points knows his origin. He'll probably appear in a MCU film as a small cameo already as Spider-Man or have his solo film brush over his origin in 5 minutes.
