THIS, glad to see someone feel the same way I do.
And no for my unpopular opinion, I really liked Andrew Garfield as Spidey. He played the part well despite the movies not having the best direction.
Yeah, the problem is, that you cant use Miles Morales then.

Why?
I dont think that a character, that whole character history only revolves about what Peter Parker would have done in the situation is quiete interesting.
Maybe the problem is Bendis. Maybe someone other would do something interesting with Miles, but I consider this as plain boring.

I don't think his whole character revolves around it, but it's a pretty essential baton pass you have to make to even make his character make sense. He's a legacy character, there is supposed to be some sense of being young and inexperienced and having to live up to the mantle you were given.
Then again I haven't read the book in a while, so Bendis might still have that be his only reason for being Spider-Man. But that's kind of my point, Miles isn't really established enough on his own to make a movie out of yet.

You are getting a high-schooler Spidey and you are going to like it.

I love Spider-man and the fact that he's back at Marvel, but I swear to god that if his new movie is an origin story, I'm shooting Uncle Ben myself
almost guaranteed not to be
id imagine they do a quick 5 minute intro recap of peter getting bit shortly after the attack of new york in the avengers. marvel seems pretty against origin stories as a whole now.

If you want a great black super hero, we're getting Black Panther in 2018. He'll also be in Civil War next year. There have been black versions of Spider-Man, Captain America, and many other super heroes, and maybe we'll get those versions after the original versions have had their run. But let's enjoy the long-established versions first, please.
If the leaked emails & rumours hold true, they'll probably skip a origin story.

I really hope this is the case. It just wouldn't make sense.
Just pointing out similarities between the past and future actors is all

What video?
Omg you're playing the sandman in the new Spiderman reboot!
Yeah let's remove the main thing that separates his character from all the other Avengers and makes him interesting.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Have you seen 3:10 to Yuma or Meet Bill?

I would laugh if it ended up as an origin story.
Honestly, they don't even have to remove Garfield.
All they need to do is a soft reboot/retcon going over the origin story and early years of Spider-Man during an intro sequence/flashback like how Snyder did in Watchmen's opening minutes.
In this: give the "great power great responsibility" credit back to Uncle Ben, show a dossier file of Peter's Parents as assassinated Shield Agents killed by Hydra/Winter Soldier, show him saving randoms and helping clear the rubble after the alien invasion to play it off like he was there the whole time - just a small player, show death of Gwen with a Goblin recast, and then show Parker graduating college and being poor - applying for a job at Stark Industries.
Boom, now he's ready to enter the MCU seamlessly.
Honestly, with or without Parker I expect the main tension in Civil War to be between Steve and Tony on the issue of Bucky killing Tony's parents. Now that Parker is in it, if they tie him to Stark through the murder of their parents - it will give him a nice justification to side with Tony in the beginning - only to grow more disenchanted with his methods as time goes on.
Secret identities aren't a big thing in the MCU, so it's not going to be a huge big point to unmask heroes since there aren't any in the MCU currently that have secret identities (unless they fold in Agents of Shield's Inhumans and Netflix's Daredevil, but even then it's not going to be enough to be considered a big deal).
Also, talk of casually changing Peter's race just for the sake of diversity is fucking absurd. For characters that aren't super well established or suffer from boring/terrible stories, it's fine. But just not that.
And besides, I'd rather see a standalone high school Miles Morales film in the future with Spider-Man as the older mentor - rather than seeing another high school Peter Parker film.

I want logans costar in Percy Jackson to be mj. Or Emma Watson of wallflower
But she may be too old for them. But the body though

Peter > Miles IMO and high school was never a big part of his story so I wouldn't make too much out of it. 30 year old Spider-Man would probably be older than the Spider-Man we have in the comics and I don't think I would enjoy watching an older Spidey.
We need a Ben Reilly movie.

It was pretty much dead in the station when it was reported Marvel is going to go in the direction of Parker being much younger than the Avengers and in high-school.

The sooner the better.
Even if they go with black spidey/miles, Glover would have been a poor choice for the role.

He's too old.
