As you may have heard earlier this week Sony and Marvel annouced that they would be forming a partnership and Marvel will be producing a new Spider-man reboot via 2017. They also annouced that he would have a "cameo" in a Marvel movie before getting his solo flick. All bets are on Captain America civil war because he does play a vital part in the story line of Civil War but that doesn't come out until 2016 and we want to know who will be the next Peter Parker or maybe there won't even be a Peter and Marvel will go for the MIles Morales back story instead.
The news has Spider-Man fans everywhere rejoicing but it is bitter sweet as I have mentionned earlier they are looking for someone NEW to play the comic book hero so that means bye-bye Andrew Garfield. I didn't dislike Andrew's portrayal of Peter but most of the appeal came from the on screen off screen chemistry he had with his co-star Emma Stone who played Gwen Stacy but spoiler alert Gwen falls to her death in the second movie of the Amazing spider-man franchise. So the franchise was deemed to fail because a big element of the plot line was Gwen and Peter's relationship other than him fighting over the top villains.
Personally I think that they should go with Miles Morales as spider-man because we already know Peter's back story, parents leave him to protect him at his aunt's and uncle's,uncle Ben dies, he gets bitten, meets a pretty girl and fights various villains. Can we please give Peter a rest.. Miles Morales' back story is not as well-known so much that most people don't even he exists. When they think of Spider-man they think of Peter Parker.It would be fresh and new it would show off a whole new side to the Spider-man character. And Miles is not a boring character either he is just as interesting as Peter and some argue even more. Also there isn't that many black superheros out there and I think we need more. Just because not only white people can be heroic and it would bring a cultural element to the story line.
Last thing I would like to discuss is casting. If they go with Miles Morales I think Donals Glover would be perfect (#Donald4Spider-Man) but he would not be what Marvel is lokking for as they are lokking for a younger high school version of the hero. If they go for Peter Parker everyone is placing bets on Dylan O'brien now of course I would like him to get the part but I think it would be annoying for super fans like me who actually know who Spider-Man is because if they cast him a lot of 14 year old girls will be running off to see the teenage heart throb play a charater they have never heard of. Sure they know who SPider-Man is but they most likely have no clue what his secret identity or anything other than the fact that he is a superhero who use uses the ability of a spider to fight evil guys. But let's face it it would bring Marvela and Sony a lot of money because of Dylan's appeal to a younger aray of females (and males let's face it the guy is sooooooo attractive) Plus O'brien already has a franchise on his chest,that being the Maze Runner franchise. They already annouced a date for the scorch trial to be released and on top of that they already had to push back Teen Wolf which he co-stars in. I think taking the role of Peter Parker on top of that would be too much and he would have to drop projects.
That is my thought on the whole Spider-Man thing please feel free to tell me how I'm wrong about everything in the comments below...
