He was often blamed for the problems with X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins Wolverine and the Fantastic Four movies.

I want them to get Green Goblin right for once.

And they haven't had a relevant story in years. Venom goes through so many hosts and switches from good to bad so frequently he's stopped being unique and Kletus never recovered from his peak story Maximum Carnage

I guess that means their older stuff is off limits for adaptation...

Aren't you forgetting about the Venom vs. Carnage arc? Or Toxin's creation? They still have some relevant stories, but Carnage has never even been depicted in a movie, and he would most certainly make a nasty, dangerous villain.

Nobody in the mainstream knows who the f*ck Toxin is.

Some new details about the Marvel/Sony arrangement have surfaced:

To put it bluntly, pretty much everyone was wondering, "Is he going to f**k up the deal with Marvel?!" Based on a report over at Latino-Review, probably not! They reiterate that Avi Arad and Matt Tolomach are producers in name only, adding: "We have information from a source suggesting there is no financial involvement whatsoever and no direct creative control over Spidey coming from the old guard. Amy Pascal still has a say in the Mom-and-Pop arrangement she has with Feige, but Disney didn’t want to unite Pearlmutter, Arad and Feige in earnest. This is the solution. What does that mean? It means Marvel might have a bit more control than we thought. It means the new Spider-Man has been insulated from BOTH Avi Arad and new Sony head, superhero property curse, Tom Rothman." This is obviously very good news, and backs up a lot of what we've been hearing over the past few weeks. Share your thoughts in the usual place!

If true, this is the best possible news I could ask for. Hiring Tom Rothman (who's responsible for some of the worst recent superhero movies) was a sign that Sony hadn't learned anything from their bungling of this franchise, so if he's been effectively shut out of the final decisions on this, I'm gonna sigh with relief.

Please let this be true. I love Drew Goddard and think he'd be a great hire for Spidey.

*MikeandRaph87* · 03-02-2015, 06:34 PM

According to this he is denying the rumor. However, you remember how Jason Momoa did denied his casting as Aquaman for awhile.

What is the status of the Sinister Six film?

I thought that it was still in the works and would conclude this version of Spider-Man?

Some more details and rumors here: http://m.ign.com/articles/2015/03/02...der-man-reboot

I kinda like that it might be called Spectacular. I'd be a little shocked if they had him fight the sinister six in the first one, but it could work. Not sure how I feel about it opening with him fighting Iron-Man, especially if it's post civil war... but I guess they could figure out a way to link Stark to Norman Osborn.

We'll see.

*MikeandRaph87* · 03-13-2015, 08:51 PM

Director has been announced, Drew Goodard and Iron Man is tentative to appear. Thoughts?

wow interesting to say the least.

16-year-old Mateus Ward is on the list of actors auditioning for the new Spider-Man. He's white. Bye bye, Miles Morales.

*NinjaPug* · 04-11-2015, 01:26 PM

Feige confirms they're going the Peter Parker route. Thank goodness.

The persistent revisionist history of "Peter's best days were in High School" pesters me as much as the idealization of Gwen "I'm only really memorable for my death" Stacy. Peter was never in High School for that long. USM? Oh sure, but Lee/Ditko? Nope, he graduated before the book even hit the #40 issue mark

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 04-11-2015, 01:31 PM

In high school? AGAIN?

Uggghhh

I don't know about you guys. But I'm not ready for yet another "Peter gets powers and uncle Ben dies" moment.

They've already said they're not doing an origin story. In fact, no Marvel movie going forward is said to be an origin story.
