Homecoming Marvel & Sony's Spider-Man (2017) General Discussion - - - - - - - - - Part 37

[Marvel Spider]

I don't think they'll be exploring that again. At least not this soon.

 

[Webhead2006]

Here a thought if we where to see iron spider in live action. Would you guys want them to change colors at all. Like go red for suit and black for rest. Or keep red and blue colors.

Ya no way they go with offed gwen already or right off the bat. And with most reports saying they don't want focus solely on romance this go around. They will likely not get so into love life and relationships to heavy.

 

[Web-Head]

I don't think they'll be exploring that again. At least not this soon.

I would almost say Gwen dies in between civil war and the solo film, but the general audience could be confused. I wonder how they'll handle it

 

[James.Bartlett]

How many films do you hope for them to make? I hope we get more than three.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well main goal right now likely is focus on a 3 part story for 3 solo films. Then go from there on how successful they be. Heck we likely see spidey used more in team films I would say.

This would be a better thing to think of once we know how many picture deal actor is getting for his first contract.

I'm so hyped right now. Exploring other sectors of this reboot, how do you think Uncle Ben's death will be explored? One thing lacking from Webb's series was "With great power, comes great responsibility." - Those words need to be said down to the letter!

 

[CaptainWagner]

In my wildest dreams, I'd love two full solo trilogies, not to mention possible Agent Venom and Miles Morales spinoffs.

Miles Morales. What would you say to Tyler James Williams playing him? Too old?

 

[Web-Head]

Miles Morales. What would you say to Tyler James Williams playing him? Too old?

Seeing that the guy playing Spider-Man will probably be 18 or 19, yeah he's too old.

 

[Webhead2006]

Even though we are skipping origins. I am sure we will at least in solo get flashback to bite and Ben death. All covered in just a few minutes.

Lol any miles talk is likely yrs from happening. If anything we likely won't see miles to at least phase 5. So any one age right now would not be right then.

 

[HanShotFirst]

Hell yeah to the Iron Spider suit.

Spoiler

And yes, that is indeed Vision getting owned.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

I think there is a point where the GA could get tired of the character, thinking of multiple trilogies seems unrealistic especially 'cause we already have 5 Spidey films that are very recent.

 

[Spidey-Lad93]

Was Andrew Garfield's name mentioned before he was cast?

 

[Spidey-Lad93]

What about the idea of Gwen dying, once again, only this time, not knowing that Peter is Spider-Man?

If they kill her off again people are going to call Her the female Uncle Ben

 

[Frodo]

I think the GA could get tired of the character's films if this next series of solo films is just another variation on the ground Webb and Raimi covered, i.e. The Osborns being the sole main villains, Gwen / MJ can we be together stuff, the Mystery of his parents , More misunderstood villains, etc.

There are certain aspects of the Spiderman myths such as the Osborns, his balancing his social life with his job as Spiderman , power and responsibility etc, which are an essential part of his character which are gonna carry over regardless of what version of the character you're doing. However, if the new film are more of a rehash of the same stories Sony has told already , just with a younger Spiderman, then I could see people getting tired of the franchise.

Feige has made it pretty clear its not gonna just be a new version of the same soup we've gotten. The fact that we aren't getting another origin story, ,that alot of the focus will be on a teen trying to balance his social and crimefighting life, in addition to being introduced to a world and characters that goes far beyond his normal supporting cast, all point to something different this time around. I think there are enough new story elements to keep the GA from getting bored.

 

[theinfernoman]

Was Andrew Garfield's name mentioned before he was cast?

Yes, he was on the shortlist.

 

[Webhead2006]

Totally there is so many areas of the mythos both film series haven't touched. Which I hope they do this time.

 

[Spidey-Lad93]

Yes, he was on the shortlist.

Ok it's just I'm wondering if there's a possibility we may have a surprised by casting somebody who hasn't been mentioned

Yeah but there are many elements they will have to use again and regardless of how different they execute it the GA could still get tired of getting similar stories. Sure we as fans would want tons of movies and we can appreciate the difference in the execution of those similar elements but the general audience has a limit in which 9 solo movies + multiple MCU appearences will be too much especially because being consistent quality is pretty much impossible.

 

[Spidey-Lad93]

They should give Aunt May a slightly bigger role than just speeches

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

she had a bigger role in the asm series than she did in the raimi series and i loved every bit of it.

 

[James.Bartlett]

That's true although I preferred the actress in Raimi's.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

she had a bigger role in the asm series than she did in the raimi series and i loved every bit of it.

did she really? I barely remember her in either of those films

 

[The Joker]

What was her bigger role in the TASM movies?

 

[Frodo]

Ultimately , the last film didn't fail because audiences were tired of Spiderman, its that the story just wasn't there and Sony really didn't have anything new to offer. Regardless of the story, characters do go in and out of style , and sometimes a long rest is what is needed to generate interest again. That said, given how the film industry is today, and how lucrative properties like Spiderman and Batman are, its unrealistic to expect that even if audiences get tired of the character, that the studios would shelve them too long. Even without the Marvel deal, we were gonna get another Spiderman film relatively soon, regardless of whether it was a sequel or not. There's just too much money to walk away from.

So in that sense, while public fatigue is a potential concern, ultimately the property, even with mediocre efforts , isn't so battered and useless that t is against Sony and Marvel's interest to keep making Spiderman films.
