Whatsisface lamely tried to walk it back by suggesting it "didn't really count" because he said it on a web show and that there's a big difference between 95% sure and 99% percent sure.

Whatsisface basically botched every aspect of relaying that news, essentially.

Didn't he say it didn't count because it wasn't meant to be public despite being on a podcast?

Those dudes are a way more interesting choice for spiderman than russos or Goddard. Plus they've worked with Sony before, it will prolly go to drew tho since sinister six is prolly being shelved

I wonder if Lord and Miller aren't doing Lego Movie 2 so that they can keep their schedule open for this? It seemed like they were on Sony's radar at least, given the leaked emails.
 
Is this that douche from Teen Wolf? I always thought he looked like a very very young Jim Carrey. He was ok in maze runner. Is Andrew Garfield out?
 
Spoiler: He's gonna be white
Doubtful. Why do that when there is an actor that already fits the personality just because?

If there was a better African American that fit Peter better I'd be for it but can you name a single black actor that fits Pakers personality better than Dylan?
I was skeptical already from the previous thread, but the source is from Variety he doesn't do clickbait stuff.

right

Why do people have such a hard-on for Miles Morales?
Is his Ultimate Spider-man series really that good?

I would bet money that the majority haven't read the comic. Or else they wouldn't be casting 30 year olds to play a 12 year old. I know people see black kids as being older but damn.

To be honest no not really. His comics aren't that great.

But he has an amazing origin story, a sweet suit, and a lot of potential. I hope they do some Miles films after Parker
 
I'm fine with this casting. He wasn't anything special in The Maze Runner but from the Teen Wolf videos I've seen of him, he seems like a great choice.

What the fuck is wrong with Andrew Garfield?

Terrible choice, he was awful in the Maze Runner.

Garfield is associated with terrible movies. No one's going to want to bring him back.
Also his Spidey was cringeworthy.

Maze Runner was a mediocre movie and not a good judge of O'Brien's talent. His performance in Teen Wolf is fab. Shows what an O'Brien lead Spider-Man would probably be like.
 
I can't imagine anyone else replacing him. If there's an exception to the recasting rule it should be him alone.

He might not fit the tone, I dunno. But I remember that one scene where he gives Peter Parker a swastika tattoo on his ass with an ink-pen and a lighter. Very odd for his character, but hey, gotta trust the actor.

Andrew Garfield would bring the stink of The Amazing Spider-Man movies with him. And even then, despite being a great Spidey, he was a mediocre Peter Parker.

After this new pretty kid bombs too you will all understand that the tobey is the only one
Tobey had the opposite problem Andrew had. A great Peter Parker, but an okay-at-best Spider-Man. Plus Tobey Maguire is way too old for the role now (Marvel wants someone in their 20's or younger). Plus it's Marvel Studios driving the car so-to-speak, so I wouldn't be too sure about this bombing.

if you thought this would be something other then origin story then you are out of your dome. in a few months we will get confirmation of the bad guy being green goblin, yet again.

But who's directing? Who's writing his solo movie?

Civil War is still Captain's film.

Aye people. It's my fault for not making myself clear.

Nobody knows yet. The point is that the Russo's are establishing the character, both in look and tone, which is awesome.

So Ultron was done by the time this hit right?
The most we'll see is like... after credits bits I assume? Maybe Blu-ray release extras?
Or is there any indication that they reshot (will reshoot) stuff at all to include spidey?
