What did he mean by this?

Those classic John Hughes movies always had robust supporting casts....
Can we finally have Eddie, MJ, Gwen, Harry, etc. all in high school?

When they say think John Hughes, they mean, imagine a Spider-Man movie directed by John Hughes.
It's obviously gonna be a modern day Breakfast Club/Sixteen Candles.
It makes so much sense to have Spider-Man be the MCU Molly Ringwald.
They're probably gonna pull it off in spades. Spidey will be the new face of the MCU for sure.

We talking Wes Anderson indie film style?
Sounds like they are talking about the scope of the film. Like Ant-Man.
Ant-Man was never about some world ending villain plot. I would very much love a Spider-Man with a smaller scale along those lines. I hope it's a good villain... we've had 5 movies and only one had a good villain. Save for Green Goblin (who was alright) the rest were terrrrrrrible.

It was though. It was about an evil scientist working with Hydra to create an army of tiny supersoldiers to rule the world.
i see what you did there...
to be fair, I would watch this
A comic book character has never been as perfectly cast.

Just bring Tobey Maguire back.
Ian McKellen would like a word.
Not even he works quite as well solely due to physique. Magneto is an extremely buff old (young?) man. Meanwhile, JJ is a regular guy and so is JK Simmons. Now, Professor X/Patrick Stewart on the other hand is definitely in that realm of frame-by-frame perfect casting.

The success of this movie depends on it. At least to me
But I thought I read a rumour that House is JJ in this one.

So carnage is a the villain, leading to a Venom movie.. Got it.
I still can't see Tobey Maguire as Parker or Spidey either.

I laughed.
He didn't fight an army super soldiers ready to take over the world. He fought one dork in a child's bedroom.

It's like an independent film, produced and financed by Disney and Sony who probably have a combined worth of like half a trillion dollars!

This.
What a lot of weightless, white noise.
The next Sony Spiderman film will be a Sony Spiderman film.
End of.

The only way I'd accept him back is the actor for the film version of Spiderman in the MCU.
Toby was the worst part about the Raimi films.

Funded by billion dollar corporations with 150M dollar budget. So indie it should only play art-house theaters
Kurt Angle as adult Peter confirmed.

I kinda wish they did the origin story again just so we can get another wrestling scene. ASM dropped the fucking ball on that.
Spider-Man 2002 had
Spider-Man 2017 can have
While that might be fun, everyone's tired of the origin. Same with Batman. Every time they do a franchise reboot, we have to get the origin again. One of the things that made me both wary and weary of Gotham.
With Spider-Man, it's especially bad because we've had the reboot with in what, a 10 year gap? Not counting the 6 years between the ending and beginning of both franchises. Now we're getting ANOTHER movie within 3 years from the most recent one?
We don't need a new origin. It's fresh in everyone's minds.
It never got to that though. It was about Yellow Jacket (I think that was his name) and him duking it out
in the same office we've seen a few times and then back in his home.

The cool thing is that Feige said Peter is already active and swinging around the MCU, during the current Marvel movies, so he has some experience already being a hero. How many superhero movies start after the hero is already being a hero?
This is pretty ironic lol
Besides Holland and Tomei, who's been casted for this?
The director might actually be below Mark Webb tier and the writers are a concern. I'm afraid, but I'm just gonna have to hope Marvel isn't running their best hero into the ground.
No one.
But jumping to conclusion is fun.
I'm not sure what conclusions I jumped to.

Have you seen any of the movies the director and writers were involved in? Do you judge every director solely on the names of the movies they've directed?
Tobey is 40. He's way too old for what they are going for. The only way they would bring Tobey back is if they were doing a Spider-Girl movie and he was playing Mayday's dad.
Discotheque jumped
Yes why try context when you can post knee-jerk reactions to thread titles?
They are filmmakers, of course I judge them based off their films. What else am I to go off of? It's not like the MCU has a perfect track record. Do you not judge athletes based off their performances? Or musicians based off their music?
I haven't seen Vacation or Cop Car, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know Vacation is trash at least. It looked like a terrible We're The Millers knock off. Cop Car looks like it deserves a watch.
Could Marvel have chosen better writers and directors, absolutely. But like I said, I'm just gonna have to hope this direction they're going in gives us a good film. Because the odds aren't in the films favor.
The man was perfection as JJJ.
I can see the post credits scene right now.
In the news room of an all too familiar location, writers are working around the clock to present their boss with an exclusive new scoop about a vigilante that's been making waves in the streets. A writer enters the boss' office with the female secretary right outside warning him that he's feeling exceptionally cranky today because of his nagging wife and the newspaper numbers being at an all time low. As the camera cuts to an angle of the boss reading the issue they'll be running while the writer explains what they're going for, he laments that they don't have any good pictures to run the story with.
The boss puts the newspaper down, revealing himself to be J.K fucking Simmons as Jameson, with a stern look and puffing a cigar. Cut to black.
Best Marvel end-credits stinger since Thanos.
