Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
There's some potential here. It's impressive that they are going this young.
I just wish people would stop thinking that Spider-man will have some big role in the coming CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR movie. The script for that movie was completed last year, and the Sony deal didn't go through until early this year. The movie has also been in production for over a month, at this point. They aren't going to rework the whole script just for one character.
Maybe a cameo at the end, but even that's stretching it.
Well IF Spiderman will be appearing in Civil War, I feel sorry for Captain America. Black Panther, Ironman, Winter Soldier & Spiderman will get more love from the casual fans.
I just don't see why they feel the need to reboot, it seemed like the last reboot was going fairly well. Except for the corporate need to find someone who is solely identified with the new Sony/Marvel brand and not with the previous all-Sony brand. I guess they will once again be coming up with a new origin for him that will now be the canon origin for the Marvel Cinematic U.
NO! OMFG! Spiderman went to college in 1965 and graduated in 1978. He has been an adult for 37 years, more than twice the amount of time he has been a kid in the comics. Unreal.
I'm glad I don't know who this is. It means future movies can focus more on Spider-man and not the actor playing Spider-man.
Also, I am now convinced that British actors have classes specifically dedicated to American accents. I dunno how a British person pulls off a New York accent, but if they can play the part then so be it.
@dark_guyver: in the comic the Amazing Spider-Man he's grown up
ROFL, the man-child of the Mephistoverse is the farthest thing from a grown-up in the regular comics. Renew Your Vows Peter is the true adult out of the pair of them. Same with the late "MC2" version of Peter.
Well now that I look at him in 2015 at 19 years old, he doesn't seem that bad of a choice. He does have the look, just wish he was atleast 2 inches taller like spiderman who's 5'10".. o well
When it comes to casting their lead roles, Marvel does a pretty good job at it, so I'm willing to give the kid a shot. Personally I'm more curious as to how his suit will look in the movie. The suit used in ASM2 was pretty good, but I'm hoping we'll get a suit that is VERY close to the comics, spider-emblem and everything.
