Man, this finally needs to happenOh, top of the page I see. Well since people are naming casting decisions, I'll go with:
Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Not possible for a high school Peter.
I don't care if she's too old. Let highschool parker date a 30 year old. Break some social boundaries.

... it had a score?
I remember the Avengers theme.
Can't really say the same for any other MCU score. Or X-Men score. Or ASM score...
I guess outside of Marvel films you have the Dark Knight trilogy too. That shit was legit.
Avengers theme was great. I actually liked ASM's theme but the rest of the score was meh.
Spiderman 1's theme is extremely memorable.
Seriously? The quality in that link is bad but the Theme itself stands out.
Do you have a DVD/Blu-Ray and always watch it or something? I can't see how that is memorable.

some people have memories to remember things
like cmon that circling shot of the team with the theme blaring isn't burned into your brain?
I have it on blu ray, but it was stuck in my head coming out of the theatre the first time I watched Avengers *shrug*
That picture was taken 8 years ago lol. She is a 30 year old who looks 30. Not really an MJ type anymore. Scott Pilgrim was a half decade ago. She looks fantastic, but she isn't the girl in the nearly decade old picture people keep quoting...
For those being down on the Spidey deal, just watch this.
I saw this now for the 500th time and I still get full excited when I see this.

Finally someone the appropriate age! I'm down.To jump on the fan-casting; if they are going back to high school Parker, I think Bella Thorne would be a great choice for Mary Jane:

Did he throw shade at AMC Movie News?
He may have, I have to check the AMC Movie News videos that you're referring to.
The GotG main theme is my favorite within the Marvel films, it stuck with me since the first moment it played in the movie. I kept humming the part at 0:25 after I got out of the theater.

theres nothing crazy about cryogenics , i don't think mr freeze will be a cinematic villain though , and if he were i'd be surprised.

Winstead just has to lose some weight to pull it off. Mary Jane is literally a super model. An 18 year old super model tends to look older anyway. No big deal. You guys are acting like someone recommended Julianne Moore or something.
There are probably better choices though.

I thought he did because he made reference to those people "being involved with a movie chain", and that they're possibly getting paid by other studios (he names Warner Bros.) to put down Marvel.
Not sure, given that AMC Movie News absolutely loves the MCU movies. Hell, they did an entire episode for the Phase 3 news.
It's not that "late 20s" is crazy old (for MJ or for Peter or for anyone really) - it's that Marvel is playing the long game here. First movie isn't out until 2017, no sequel until 2020 at least. 30 now is 35 for Spider-Man 2 and pushing 40 for Spider-Man 3. Somewhere along the line it becomes unbelievable for an actor to be 10 years older than their character.

Thats actually a great idea. I would be down for this.

Stop posting pictures of Winstead it's making me super sad that all of this didn't happen at a time when we could've got her as Kate Bishop.
She would've been such a good Lady Hawkguy :C

It sounds like he's going on about this video, where Campea reads the press release for the announcement and mentions that Sony still has the rights and creative control of the franchise.

I don't know... this guy seems about as clueless as those he's railing against.
Just because multiple studios were involved in previous MCU movies doesn't mean they're the exact same as the Spider-man deal.
I remembered squealing like a little girl in the theater when I first saw this. I had always hoped that Hulk would his his standing FP attack from the MvC3 series and hit the Leviathan straight on the nose and through the road they're on.
That would have been great.

Maybe? Will Peter still be a high schooler 8 years from now? Depends on what they do with the story.
The two actors in talks are nearly 10 years younger than her. They aren't going to cast a MJ a decade older than Peter Parker.
...and choose more interesting roles.
I would actually like to see a film with her, I'm curious. She just don't strike me as a Mary Jane, Black Cat or Gwen Stacy. She's neither beautiful nor cute.

I'm pretty sure Marvel is making all the decisions here, and Sony is just signing off on anything that isn't a direct conflict of interest (like Samsung tablets, Panasonic TV's and Apple iPhones).
I believe it all starts with the choice for director, and then they all sit in for casting decisions right?
I wouldn't even be surprised if Marvel already has a rough treatment for a Spidey Solo movie ready to be rewritten.
If I recall, there were rumors suggesting that was the case, with the likes of Shocker or Mysterio being the potential villain.

Yep. Love the Avengers theme as well. Shame it won't be used in Age of Ultron.

I've been wanting Mysterio as a villain since Raimi was in the early phases of SM2.
SFX are good enough now that it could be something crazy. Mysterio and Chameleon team up and Spidey has to almost solely rely on spider sense to get by.
But whatever Marvel has planned, I'm sure I'll more than enjoy it. and if Sony is smart, they'll just sit back, sign the checks and then count the crazy returns when they come in.
The best thing Marvel is gonna do for them is show them proper budgeting... but then again, Marvel isn't footing the bill for the solo movies, just directing the creation of them, so who knows. Maybe Sony gets all excited again and blows their wad on marketing and big payday contracts for the actors.
This scene felt like a massive payoff to 5 movies leading up to The Avengers. I've never felt like such a joyful kid when watching a movie.
Its only almost topped by this: http://youtu.be/Y69kGmPeHw0

It'd going to be so nice having Spidey where he belongs. In scenes like that.
Hold onto Spider-Man's wings, motherfucker... he's a hero... watch as he all webs and/or flies away.

The OST for GotG was phenomenal, it's just a shame that it had to come in a movie which also had an amazing soundtrack of pop songs which meant the OST was sort of overshadowed.
