‘Spider-Man' Reboot Film Details: Peter Parker's Story To Be Told In Four Movie Series

The ‘Spider-Man’ reboot is going to be made into four movies. According to a recent report, these four-part series will all explore the life of the high school Peter Parker as the web slinger.

Deadline on its exclusive report about the “Spider-Man” reboot claimed Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal “are planning an arc that will tell the Spidey story over three to four movies.” Writer Mike Fleming Jr. said each of these movies will explore a year into Peter Parker’s life. However, these series of films will not be an origin story, unlike the previous “The Amazing Spider-Man” series. Per Fleming by then the high school Peter Parker is already Spider-Man, since he’ll ”already have been bitten by the radioactive spider so we don’t have to see that all over again,” he added.

The four-part “Spider-Man” series will reportedly be a coming of age tale of how Peter Parker handles being a superhero. The reboot will reportedly have a tone reminiscent of a John Hughes humour and emotion, but mixed with all the superhero details needed for the film.

Spider-Man’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe involves a cameo appearance in the May 6, 2016 film, “Captain America: Civil War.” No details have been released yet regarding his role in the sequel. The web slinger will debut in the film before he stars in the July 28, 2017 “Spider-Man” reboot, which has reportedly been given the working title “Spider-Man: The New Avenger.”

The search for a young actor to play the high school Peter Parker is reportedly still ongoing. But Marvel and Sony may want to hasten the final selection. If Spider-Man is to make a cameo appearance in “Civil War,” then a young actor should have already been cast since per Screenrant, production on the "Captain America" sequel already started in April.


Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland were previously reported as the last two final contenders for the role of Peter Parker in the “Spider-Man” reboot. Badass Digest writer Devin Faraci shared the news on his Twitter page.

Asa Butterfield has been Marvel’s number one choice from the beginning, movie scoopster Umberto Gonzalez said on his Instagram post. Comicbookmovie likewise cited a source who claimed the 18-year old may have already been cast already since the studio has taken a special interest in him for the Spider-Man role “since day one.” However, it now remains uncertain if Butterfield will grab the part considering Tom Holland is said to be the next Peter Parker contender.

He might still be involved as a writer/producer. If Sony & Marvel want the movie released by 2017, there needs to be at least a rough draft of the screenplay by the end of the summer. So Drew Goddard might be locked in a room somewhere putting that together.

Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre? Oh please, give the directing job to Jared Hess

I can see it now, Pete Parker grows up in a trailer park in Idaho with his Aunt May and moves to the big city in Mexico so he can buy food for his ailing aunt and the other orphans dead relatives left on her doorstep. In the city he is bitten by a toxic drunken Luchadore and then returns home in triumph to win the class election for Harry Osborne by wrestling everyone in school and giving Flash Thompson an atomic flying left handed wedgie.

Marvel's New Cinematic Spider-Man Will Be "a Non-Stop Wit," Says Kevin Feige

"There are so many things that are integral to his character in the comics that haven't been explored yet," says Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

It's been a couple of months since Marvel and Sony announced that they'd be working together to reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise, and bringing the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That seems just about long enough for Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to start teasing what fans should expect from the next big screen web head.

"It's a testament to his character that there have been five movies made already over the last — however long it's been, 13 years — and yet, there are so many things that are integral to his character in the comics that haven't been explored yet," Feige told IGN when asked about what would make the next Spider-Man different from his predecessors. "That's what most exciting."

He went on, "Batman was the same way; there had been four Batman movies, and then Batman Begins was able to do something unique and tap into something that hadn't been seen before in the movies. It's a similar thing, obviously tonally completely different from Batman, but we're very excited about any number of things about Spidey and his standalone adventures."

In particular, Feige suggested that fans should expect more of the character's comic book comedy in his next incarnation. "When he puts that mask on, in the comics, he has a non-stop wit that's almost as troubling to the bad guys he fights as his webs and agility. We feel we haven't really seen that yet."

When asked whether or not we'll see a third movie take on the classic Spider-Man origin, Feige gave the answer I think most were hoping for. "I think people are very familiar with that origin," he said, laughing.

Garfield was far more witty than Maguire, but still not as much as the comics version.  The second movie was close in a couple of places, but the first one of Garfield's only had the banter and taunting a couple of times.

Every five seconds would certainly be too much of a good thing.  Film has a very different rhythm than comics, but there is a middle ground that Amazing Spider-Man 2 achieved a few of times.  They just need to work on delivering that sort of thing on a more consistent basis.  It requires extra effort on the part of the writing team.  More specifically, it needs comedy writers and action writers working together to bring the source material to the screen.

I Don't think it was a mess, but I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Yeah Spidey does a lot of banter because it makes his opponents mad and they start making mistakes, but also because he is in such danger. While there are some times where you are too preoccupied to talk, he also does it to keep his shit together.

One villain asked him why he cracked so many jokes while fighting and he said because if I didn't I'd probably cry lol

Some of those actors look 12.

I wonder if there ever has been a reboot with the same actor...
