If there’s a fan out there who thinks Marvel went through the trouble of negotiating shared custody of Spider-Man with Sony because they felt they could get something mediocre out of the character, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige assures you that the bar is set at least a little bit higher.

“Making that agreement … was great, and was really amazing, and on a personal level making these movies, it means a lot because I think we can do great things with Spider-Man,” Feige told IGN. “I think Spider-man can serve great purpose in our universe and that’s where he belongs. That was what was unique about him in the comics was not that he was the only superhero in the world; it’s that he was a totally different kind of superhero when compared against all the other ones in the Marvel universe at the time.”

You know what they say: “With great purpose, comes great profitability,”…wait, that’s not right…

Spider-Man will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Captain America: Civil War.

When Marvel and Sony teamed up to reboot Spider-Man and introduce the superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans were excited as hell! Of course, in the process some things were sacrificed like the Sinister Six movie that Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) was developing. I was more excited about that project than anything else Sony was working on before Marvel came into the picture.

In a recent interview with io9, Goddard opened up about his original vision of the film, explaining that it would have been standalone Spider-Man movie set in the world of The Amazing Spider-Man, and it would have featured the return of Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger. Continue reading →

Marisa Tomei Is Marvel's New Spider-Man's New Aunt May

As San Diego Comic-Con begins, we also get our first superhero movie casting. First up, Marisa Tomei has been cast as Spider-Man’s new aunt, filling the role once held by Sally Field and Rosemary Harris. Um, does anyone see a pattern here?

Marisa Tomei is currently 50. Sally Field was 66 when she played Aunt May in 2012’s Amazing Spider-Man, and Harris was 75 when Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man histtheaters. Keep this up and I’m worried Kate Upton will be asking Peter if he wants some wheatcakes in 2025 or so.
