Spider-Man is coming home

I read about it this morning. Perhaps Marvel can afford to give him the 900 eggs that he requires every morning to produce 240m of web.

Pity about Garfield, though. I liked him as Peter Parker.
 
I really enjoyed the Garfield incarnation of the character so I'm a little bummed the films are being rebooted once again. I hope we don't see the origin story yet again.
 
That's awesome, though a bit weird having a 3rd reboot of the series already. Oh well, I'm sure Marvel will make it a good one.

Look at this guy, shooting the crime out of the bad guys with a tommy gun
 
Perhaps they will bring Donald Glover (Troy in Community) in to play a new version of Spidey.

He's a big fan, and already involved in the Spider-Man universe.

I would love to see that.
 
Spiderman was one of my favourite super heroes, until the movies came out. Hopefully Marvel can restore my love for him. Then again Marvel is Disney now, so probably not.
 
Saw it earlier this morning as well. Awrsome news, finally Spidey can be part of the greater Marvel universe.

Wouldn't be surprised if they went this route and changed his race. Would be a good way to breathe new life into a character that's seen so many live screen incarnations in the last decade.

Though personally speaking, I'd prefer Peter white. Not because I'm being racist, it's just a character preference. I wouldn't be dissuaded from seeing the film should he not be though.
 
If they change his race then it should be Miles Morales and not Peter Parker. The last 2 movies were more Ultimate than Amazing Spidey anyway.

That being said I would prefer if they stuck to Peter, but a proper Ultimate Spider-Man with Miles could also be cool.

I agree with all of you and [MENTION=6922]qornea[/MENTION]

It should be Miles Morales. Fun fact: the Avengers line-up is based on the Ultimates, the Avengers counterparts from the same universe as Miles Morales. Hence black Nick Fury.
 
I must admit its a bit strange to do another "reboot" so soon... I seriously wish that studios would think about things like this, I mean Wolverine and Hugh Jackman is like the ONLY constant in the marvel universe... They are definitely getting better though with IronMan, Thor and Captain America...

Looking forward to seeing Spidey join in with the avengers though... Should be very cool!

The problem is that marvel didn't have the movie rights to Spiderman, it was Sony's, but they have finally agreed to let him go back to marvel. Marvel will now have to do a Spiderman origin movie before he is in the next avengers. Although I wouldn't mind Garfield staying as Spiderman.

Yeah, Garfield was the perfect Peter Parker. They might have to do an origin movie, yeah...unless they can work it in somewhere else...like they did with Black Widow and Hawkeye.

But if they've given the character back to Marvel why can't Marvel just continue with the Garfield character created by Sony? Or is that barred by some kind of copyright despite them having the rights to the character again?

I don't think the character fits into their universe. Surely if the stuff that was happening in ASM 2 in the same New York City as in Avengers, there would have been overlap. Likewise with the first Avengers movie.

As in the comic books, the Avengers and Spider-Man would be helping each other out a lot more, were they ever on the same tiny island of Manhattan.

To use a good example: for a long time Marvel took the Punisher out of the main comic book continuity and put him in a different universe. Their reasoning for this was that the Avengers would surely intervene if the Punisher was brutally murdering bad guys left and right...and if they did, they would curb the entire idea of the character, making him useless. They could not co-exist in the same universe.

Now, combining the existing Amazing Spider-Man and Marvel Cinematic Universes, a similar situation would arise. Marvel probably can make it fit, but would they want to add something to their Cinematic Universe that they did not expressly create to do so?

I guess that makes sense. Didn't think as far as Spidey and the Avengers being in the same city.
