So, most of you will know by now that Drew Goddard is rumoured to be directing Marvel’s Spidey film, which is rumoured to be titled ‘Spectacular Spider-Man’. The film is rumoured to be the first of a trilogy and it’s rumoured that all of Sony’s other Spidey spin-offs are scrapped.
But enough about that, let’s take a look at some more rumours! Like what we can expect Drew Goddard to be writing and directing. In fact Latino Review’s article may have given us the first few plot details for Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man reboot!
"No new origin story, Spidey exists from the beginning, taken as a given"
"New actor, probably an unknown, he will be specifically based in High School and they want him to be able to grow up into the role. The thought being if this works, Spidey can do multiple trilogies for years ala Harry Potter."
"A major part of the first film will involve Spider- Man fighting Iron Man and then trying to pass the “audition” to join the Avengers"
"The first film will involved the Sinister Six coming together with the thought to later maybe spin them off."
Now it’s worth mentioning that this article contradicts itself at times, it says that Sinister Six is cancelled but Marvel might ‘spin them off’. It says that they doubt that Dylan is Spider-Man but add that casting hasn’t started yet, this is despite Spider-Man definitely appearing in Captain America 3: Civil War and filming for that flick starting next month. So there are some problematic elements to this reveal!
I’m also not sure about a Spider-Man film that introduces a new Spidey, and all of his supporting characters, six villains, Iron Man and the Avengers all in one go. Don’t get me wrong it sounds awesome but it does seem like quite a lot.
