he recently stated that it was a possibility. maybe sony had already reached out to him prior to this announcement going public?
I think at this point everyone is assuming he is back. If he isn't, then obviously nobody will see it. Simple as that!

No one else could replace him.
What a kick in the teeth it was for him to just be an email in ASM2. Fuck that movie.

The entire situation is pure fan-service, so I definitely agree with you.
You can easily justify his existence in comparison to the first SM movie if it ever goes that far too.
They have done it before, and Simmons fits in as that Agent Coulston character in the film universe.

I keep thinking of Thurman Merman when I see that second name.
Kinda wish the kid from The Flash was getting consideration - the dude is perfect for Peter.
I think Simmons is 100% back. I personally would love to see Dafoe back as Norman.

Well... if whoever they pick is willing to stick with the role for 10 or 15 years.

Thank goodness!
Doesn't hurt that he's about to win an Oscar as well
.It's Peter Parker, which is who it should be. Fuck the alternate universe Spider-Men.

He can finally open the caviar.

Dylan actually looks like Spider-Man, but I have no clue if he's a good actor.
What I think Marvel will do is introduce a teenage still in high school Spidey (thus the young actor), but they'll skip all of the origin crap and have him established as Spidey for like a year or so. I'd put really high odds on them pulling an "Incredible Hulk" and just showing Spidey's origin during the opening credits.

If Donald Glover doesn't get it now it's a fucking travesty.

Every Spider-Man's an alternate universe one.

Doesn't he have huge emotional problems though?
They want a young guy playing Spider-Man and Glover is 31 - the same age as the guy currently playing Thor. Glover aint getting the role.
The Stern interview had Simmons hint he might be back.
Was thinking of this...he is absolutely perfect for the role

This is like gaming hype train. Mostly likely answers are obviouse but GAF continues to "BELIEVE " only to be disappointed.
It's going to be Parker
Yeah, sorry guys, but there's no way we're getting Miles as Spider-Man in the MCU. At least not as the introductory Spider-Man in the MCU. People seem to forget that Parker preceded Miles in the Ultimate universe too. You kind of need Parker in order to have Miles, don't you? We'll probably get Miles after the Parker actor's contract is over.
That's what I was thinking, but O'Brien would be perfect
Yeah, and by that, we mean Idris Elba!
IDRIS ELBA FOR PETER PARKER! SAOIRSE RONAN FOR WHOEVER THE FUCK! THAT'S HOW NEOGAF ROLLS!

It's one of those situations where the internet thinks what they want is more popular then it is. Glover isn't a particularly interesting actor. Even if they did make Spider-Man black I hope they'd try harder then him.

Wow I totally blocked out that he was in that, and the only thing that kept springing to mind was Percy Jackson. I'm cool with him getting the role now.

A post credits scene needs to be J.K. Simmons ranting about Spider-Man
Peter has always been a stud. You guys need to stop projecting.
Guys Gustin likely has a iron-clad contract for Flash for multiple seasons. He isn't in a position to get out of that since he is the lead, without him there is no show. CW would never release him from that contract. The show is one of the biggest hits on the network.
Gustin is just as likely as Ben Affleck to play Spider-Man, both are locked into contracts as super heroes already.

Don't crush my dreams with facts sir
I hope this is what they do. It was what immediately endeared SSM to me.
The dude can act, as Fury showed.
I've seen that too, and it's hard to see the timing as coincidence, but at the same time, why would Simmons at all be privy to those conversations?
Fury showed precisely how the dude can't act.
This is just my anecdotal BS, but I actually skipped out on seeing the Spidey reboot because JK Simmons wasn't in it. It just spoke to the production that he wasn't there. Me being biased, prejudiced, whatever, that's what my thinking was on it.
I can't be the only one. He meant a LOT to the film series, so they've probably been in contact with him.

Right, because its Peter Parker? I don't think Ultimate has even made it to the big screen.
