Civil War Along Came a Spider - The Peter Parker / Spider-Man Thread

[Cassandra Cain]

How do we know the strength of MCU Spider Man? He hasnt been intro'd yet.

 

[TheVision]

^^ haha YW! well its like, how can anyone say what Spider Man can/cant do? Hes not even in the game yet.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Just show us the costume already!

No, but seriously, I think the Super Bowl would be the perfect place to reveal it.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Has this Spider Mans Age been confirmed?

Yes, he's 14 in Civil War and 15 in SM17 (source- Jon Watts director of solo film)

Good god. Holland looks young but 14? Thats really stretching the suspense belief.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

Spidey is stronger than Cap isnt he?

the fact this question is asked makes me sad lol.

 

[TalismanRing]

Good god. Holland looks young but 14? Thats really stretching the suspense belief.

Far less than a 30 yr old playing an 18 yr old.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

everyone ages different, hard to say what 14 y.o. should look like

I think Holland can pull of a 14 year old with movie magic. But, in the solo film they are going to need to get older looking guys to play the likes of Flash just so it makes Holland look even younger.

 

[BatsDC]

Holland couldn't pass for 14, especially not a 14 year old Parker. Would make more sense to have him around 16

 

[Mai]

I figured he would be 15 in Civil War and then 16 in his own movie. I do feel like 14 in Civil War is pushing it.

We know Feige wants Peter to be in High-School for at least two films. That was one of the first and main things Feige stressed- not rushing him out of High-School like both Raimi & Webb did after the first movie. And we know via the Sony leaked emails that Marvel really didn't like the fact that Peter graduated High-School in the second film of TASM series. (But i'm sure you know all that considering that you are/was a regular over at the Spidey sub-forum)

Point is, Peter has to start out younger to accommodate for more than one film in HS, so him being 14 in Civil War does makes sense.

Chances are, they'll reveal it accidentally with a toy of the new look at Toy Fair.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Indeed that's how it usually happens. Toys.

The Russos teased a "comtemporary" Spider-Man!

Spoiler

The Russos were asked how the new Spider-Man will be different from the previous portrayed by Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

"This is a completely new version of Spider-Man that’s introduced in Civil War,"

answered Anthony Russo.

"It was very important to us that we go younger with the character because what we love about Spider-Man is that he’s still a high school student. That’s a part of his vulnerability and it’s what makes him special in the Marvel Universe; he’s very unique. We wanted to play to that aspect of the character. We also wanted to think about ‘Who is Spider-Man today?’ A lot of times when you get interpretations of Spider-Man, they’re very nostalgic to the origins of the character. Sometimes there’s an old-fashioned patina to the tone of who Spider-Man is. We wanted to think about who is Spider-Man today if he’s living in Queens, what’s the texture of his life like, what’s the texture of his relationship with his aunt who lives with him. How can we make the relationship and character very contemporary? That’s our goal with the character."

The mention of Aunt May, who'll be played by Marisa Tomei, seems to confirm she, too, will be introduced in Civil War alongside Tom Holland's Web-Head.

Watch them reveal an unfinished model toy,and people go on insane rants thinking its the final.film prodect.

 

[TheVision]

A contemporary Peter/Spidey makes sense. I just want this version to be cool/fun.

 

[UltimateMarvel]

I trust Kevin Feige and the Russo Brothers. I'm really excited to this version of Spider-Man!

 

[TheVision]

I trust those fellas too

 

[4thWallBreaker]

I hope the Spidey flick is just like The Breakfast Club, but with teenagers with superpowers. Peter would be Brian. Firestar would be Claire. Hrm... Flash Thompson could be Andrew. Prowler could be John Bender. Heh! Alison's character slot could be Crystal from Inhumans. She's the first to come to the world and try and be a part of human society. Lol. Idk.

 

[TheVision]

Prowler: Face it Spidey, yoiure a neomaxizoondweebie, what would you be doing if you werent out making yourself a better super hero?

[Voltron]

Hope they don't dress down Marisa Tomei's Aunt May to look dowdy. 50 y.o. stylish women do exist.
