And Marvel owning a near monopoly on superhero films is not a good thing.

Competition makes them better. Shit, the MCU only exists because of how successful OTHER STUDIOS films were.

DC is still around, and independents are also still being made , marvels not the only game in town lol. Marvel having all their own properties is a monopoly now? Like DC is then?

 

[digitalrelic]

It's great news, but I'm really bummed about Andrew Garfield being out. He was THE perfect Spider-Man IMO. His passion for the character was amazingly endearing. I feel for him. He put every ounce of himself into that role.

 

[charsace]

Feige just Tripple H'ed Garfield.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

They should just have Ben Reilly join the Avengers, and Sony Spider-Man will exist in a different universe.

 

[Toa TAK]

The writers of the show said they had ideas for a season 2, as the article outlined limited series means limited episode order, not limited seasons. They hoped for a season 2 but there is no chance of it happening, it deputed poorly and only fell since then. It just never clicked with audiences for whatever reason.

I wonder why?

I mean, people kept up with AOS awful pre-TWS episodes....

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Spidey needs to be early 30s. I'm sick of teenager version for now.

Liefield will drop that Youngblood movie any day now.

Preach

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

So, I might be reading this a bit too literally, but... they're saying they're going to work Spider-Man into one of their MCU films before the next SM in 2017, right? So, I mean, if that's true, it's gotta be Cap 3 right? I mean, it's gotta be. Holy shit guys.

 

[flkraven]

What are the chances of an after credits hint in Ultron? I think basically none, but would it be even possible this late in the game? Would they?

 

[The Elite]

Spidey needs to be early 30s. I'm sick of teenager version for now.

Mid to late 20s is good.

I definitely don't want teenage Parker again. We have had too much of him.

I would say so, cameo in Avengers 2 if they cast it quick enough maybe.

 

[Blader]

Why do people keep suggesting Logan Lerman? Has anyone actually seen him in a movie? He's awful. He gives that same deer-in-the-headlights look for everything.

 

[Anoregon]

UPDATE: Calling it right now, Richard & Mary Parker will be in the third season of Agents of SHIELD.

I could see them being name-dropped, but anything beyond that would be very surprising.

Also, assuming it's too late to actually get Spidey in Cap3, post-credit teaser is practically guaranteed.

 

[m_shortpants]

Give us old Spiderman. No more teen please

 

[E the Shaggy]

Spidey needs to be young for this, just because the MCU doesn't have a character like that right now.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Might be cutting it too close, especially if they choose to recast the role. I'm personally fine with Garfield, but also wouldn't mind seeing some new blood. He was not the problem with the ASM films. lol

So very true. I think at most Spidey should be in his early 20s.

 

[WinFonda]

It's great news, but I'm really bummed about Andrew Garfield being out. He was THE perfect Spider-Man IMO. His passion for the character was amazingly endearing. I feel for him. He put every ounce of himself into that role.

I don't feel the same way. His accent was weird and fluctuated wildly for starters. There's a scene in the second movie where he's talking to Harry by the river and it goes from New Yorker, to Bostonian, to Southern, to Standard American in like the span of a couple minutes.

I feel like all he really did was romance his real life girlfriend on screen.

 

[Pagusas]

How are they going to make a "veteran" spiderman when he was no where to be seen while NY was getting trashed. You have Tony Stark living right there basically in Avenger tower and never even mentions him. I hope they dont just bolt him in and say "he was always there, just never mentioned on camera!"

Make it a new spiderman from start to finish.

I feel like all he really did was romance his real life girlfriend on screen.

Well he did that really well! And with Sony constantly wanting to make Spiderman a love story, doing that right means he did good. I'd love to see a spiderman where they go deeper than just the love story, make it about more.

 

[kodecraft]

Let's go!

 

[Neoxon]

Spidey needs to be young for this, just because the MCU doesn't have a character like that right now.

And it's not like they can introduce anyone else. Kamala requires Carol to be well-established, & lolKidNova (they've been teasing Richie, anyway).

Since they will make the same with Jessica Jones, I think they will come up with a reasonable explanation.

 

[Rean]

I hope they address his origin in a 2 minute flashback so people won't get confused about which one to follow.

 

[Neoxon]

He was just fine in Fury.

That will have happened years ago by the time the Spider-Man movie comes around. There is plenty of time between NY getting attacked and the Spider-Man movie where Peter could have gotten bit and become Spider-Man.

 

[deadlast]

Spiderman cameo in Age of Ultron would be amazing.

No more Spidey origins.

I think people can just assume and accept he was already established at this point. Just because they didn't mention him before doesn't mean he wasn't around.

I will take an established Spider-Man in college.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

It'll be interesting to see which direction they go in with the series.

And if he's appearing in Civil War, do you think he'll have to deal with

Spoiler

his identity being revealed

?

Spiderman wears a mask.

As much as I'd love to see an older Spidey, this makes total sense. Everyone in the MCU at this point is a veteran in the superhero biz. This is their opportunity to literally bring in the young blood and freshen things up.

Also, Marvel/Disney will want to get someone as young as possible so they can extract every last cent from this deal.

 

[NimbusD]

Who said J.K. Simmons had to return as JJJ?

MAKE HIM THE NEW SPIDEY, MARVEL!!!

What I would give for them to just bring back Raimi spiderman universe and incorporate it into MCU.

No.
Sony wouldnt want this this early.

 

[WanderingWind]

Spidey - "NYC City was under attack, I was over on the other side of one of the biggest cities on earth fighting aliens with laser weapons with the power of punches. The media, thanks in part to Jameson, won't give me credit, so that's why I don't have a toy line."

Stark - "Huh, I thought you were just a ploy to sell tabloids."

There. Mystery solved.

 

[Blader]

Doesn't help the Peter Parker scenes any.

It certainly would be an interesting way of introducing his character to the MCU.

 

[SargerusBR]

So can we expect Bat vs Supes trailer to show up anytime soon? I mean DC/Warner needs to counter-attack this news with something

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Spiderman cameo in Age of Ultron would be amazing.

Age of Ultron aftercreditscene.
Tony Stark is in Queens, looks on is phone: "20 Ingram Street in Forest Hills, Queens"
Tony: Yes, thats there I think.
He rings on the door, someone opens, camera switched to POV perspective of the person who opened the door.
Tony: Hello, are you Peter Parker? I need you help!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Jake Gyllenhaal grownup Spidey probably won't happen, so I'll take college aged Spidey played by

Spoiler

Daniel Radcliffe

.

 

[WinFonda]

Well he did that really well! And with Sony constantly wanting to make Spiderman a love story, doing that right means he did good. I'd love to see a spiderman where they go deeper than just the love story, make it about more.

He did it well, since there's actual chemistry there, but the way it was woven into the film was almost voyeuristic. It felt like an Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone romance vehicle first, and a Spider-Man movie second. He made no lasting impression on me as either Parker or Spider-Man.

Hell naw. Hell to the fucking naw. No.

[QuiteWhittle]

I wonder how diminished BP's role will be in Civil War now that Spidey's back.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

To add my 2 cents: you need a young and inexperienced spidey because you need an excuse for why hes been a complete no show this whole time. It's hard to swallow a late 20s spidey who has been doing his thing for almost a decade yet wasn't around when NY got ripped apart during Avengers 1

Doesn't sound like Tony.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

So anyone wondering if they tried to make a similar deal with Fox for the Fantastic Four that didn't pan out? As much as I love Spider-Man's interactions with the MCU, I think it would be more mutually beneficial for the FF universe to have been merged in to MCU (especially with them going full force in to Cosmic Marvel). Then again, the type of stuff the FF deal with would have more worldwide repercussions that the rest of the MCU would have a hard time not being involved with and letting Fox keep the creative reigns on that kind of stuff would have been dicey.

 

[Servbot24]

I'm expecting a just a line in reference to Spiderman in Ultron, but no actual appearance.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Doesn't sound like Tony.

Thats why I am not the screenwriter ;-)

 

[DeathyBoy]

Also, assuming it's too late to actually get Spidey in Cap3, post-credit teaser is practically guaranteed.

After all the chaos in Cap 3, the post-credit scene has to be JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson blowing his gasket at the superheroes. But it's an empty office, it's late, and he's all alone. Spider-Man swings by... sees Jameson is working late, and just says...

SPIDER-MAN: Go home, Jonah.

Holy shit. Screw Cap 3. Put an after credit's JJJ teaser at the end of Ultron

We saw how long it took him to get to one side of one borough. He doesn't have rocket jets or a helicarrier. And he would have been fighting, rescuing people along the way. It makes absolute sense. NYC is enormous.

 

[bengraven]

Damn wish this was a complete rights transfer, but you can't blame Sony for not doing it. I'm just happy to see this! Oh fuck me, the moment, probably post credits, where you see Spider-man suddenly sweep down on the Captain or in front of Nick Fury and give a mocking salute...fuck me, there will be straight up man tears.

Fox, you paying attention!?

A v X summer 2020!

 

[Moaradin]

They're gonna go for a young spider-man for sure. They need someone that can carry the role for years to come. Especially when a lot of the established MCU actors are on their way out.
