Homecoming The Official "Don't Panic" Thread

HS is a jumping point more than anything. It gives you alot of time to show the growth of the character from 15 to 25, as opposed to doing what Raimi and Webb did which is already have the character a senior and quickly into adulthood with not much room to grow beyond that. Marvel is thinking long term including teamups and solo films, and if anything, HS is a starting point, not a permanent state. If they started the character in college then there's no room to grow beyond hitting the same beats Raimi and Webb did.

If you brought the ASM continuity and Garfield over, then the college thing makes more sense. Other than that, there was no way we were getting a college aged Parker incorporated into the MCU. Marvel always wanted to start the character in HS.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

A trilogy is still a alot especially because of all those team-ups in other movies, he will be in HS for about 6 or more movies, its excessive

 

[Frodo]

I doubt he'll be in HS for 6 or more films. The point is to watch the character "grow up", that's why I think HS is a stepping off point. You start in HS and you move through the college years. I think that's why Marvel looking at Potter as a model. Sure he didn't go to college in those films, but we basically saw equivalent the character go from grade school through senior year of HS.

I really don't see an issue with the HS setting . If its not that, then its the college setting , which has been done twice to a great extent already, and if not college, you get into an adult married Spiderman in which you have no room to grow with the character. If you're planning long term, you start with a 15 year old Peter Parker. If the point is to have a long term franchise instead of just 2 to 3 Spiderman films in totally ala SM and ASM franchises, then it makes sense you start young and work the characters way to adulthood. You don't start the character in college or grad school .

He will counting the HS trilogy and his other appearances(Civil War and IW 1&2)

Even then , I doubt he'll be in HS for all of those films. We don't know the timeline yet and when each film will take place.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Especially if the MCU moves in real time, ans spidey along with it.

 

[Webhead2006]

i still feel if the sequels are 19 and 21 release dates. Two films in hs setting/hs tropes is more then enough time. To play with hs stuff. And we either see freshmen and junior yrs, or we see sophomore and senior yrs in first and second film. Then the 3rd film be already in collage and what have you. Plus we also have his bit in civil war, and how ever much he is in both infinity wars films. To play with hs issues with peter.

Now if they ended up getting 2nd and 3rd film shot back to back and released in 19 and 20. Then sure i could then see doing 3 hs films work there. If he is indeed a freshmen in civil war/solo 1. If he isnt a freshmen then i dont see the need for 3 hs films.

Again the character is not getting locked in to only be 15/16 yrs old in this universe. He will again and if they didnt do every yr is a yr in mcu like mcu been last few yrs. The whole younger actor thing becomes pretty moot. If they slow time down in solos and say 4 yrs took 6 yrs in real life to do, but only 4 yrs in film. And that would also mess with how solo films fit with rest of the mcu. Again i dont see.

The most logical thing that is going to happen is mcu time stays as it is. And mcu 2016 in rl 2016 to mcu 2019 with inhumans in rl 2019 will take place over four real yrs. And during phase 3 we see peter age from 15-19 yrs old. Then phase 4 be another 4 yrs and we see peter in solo/team films over the ages of 20-24 yrs old. Then phase 5 we hit 25-30 yrs old range. And once we hit this mark like the books have him in late 20s/early 30s look/lock of age. His age likely wont be talked about any more. And we then just leave the character at a roughly 30 yrs old state.

So then once rowe or holland who ever is the lucky one ends his contract likely during phase 5 if he has minimum of 9 film deal. Which would likely take 10-12 yrs to do. And they both be hitting around 30. And likely now wanting to move on to other things and all that. The next guys in then be likely 25-30 yrs old and do 3-5 pictures playing a 30ish peter/spidey.

 

[Frodo]

Yeah. That's why I'm not concerned that he's gonna be in HS for 10 years ala 90210. lol. HS is just a starting off point, like I keep saying. Its a place to begin and move forward from, not a place to stay forever.

 

[Webhead2006]

Ya that is how I personally feel things will play out too. And don't see why folks think he will be locked as a teen and won't age in mcu.

 

[Frodo]

Yeah, Its kinda funny people seemed to think they will keep the character in hs forever. I assumed that the whole point of casting younger was to watch the character grow up from highschool to adulthood, not to keep the character frozen at 15.

 

[Webhead2006]

Totally cause even if you did youngest pick of 14 kid will age and age drastically in next 4 or 5 yrs. It's not like rest of mcu been age locked for characters. Tony is like 45. Thor is a alien God. Hawkeye and banner are 40s. They may not have said ages for them in films. But folks are aging.

 

[SuperSpidey17]

Guys D-23 is in ONE WEEK! It might just be a matter of DAYS until we get to see the SPIDER-MAN costume!!

But don't be like me and get your hopes up. Chances are I'll just be disappointed.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well I really think they could show something now. Then in past as spidey wasn't cast and didn't film yet.

 

[Godzillasaurus]

There is another D-23 in a week?

Well I am definitely keeping my hype in-check for this one, we didn't see squat for the last D-23

Also, Peter is going to be in highschool for Civil War and SM2017 and college for the remaining films (Infinity War Parts 1/2 and the solo sequels)

Is it confirmed he'll be in college after the solo film?

 

[AvegningSpider]

Is it confirmed he'll be in college after the solo film?

It hasn't i think, for all we know Peter will be in high school (heck i think they said they wanted him in HS for quite a bit.)

Source? This is news to me.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Nah, he's going to be in high school for much longer. Otherwise, why cast so young? 'Cause if this was/is the plan:

Also, Peter is going to be in highschool for Civil War and SM2017 and college for the remaining films (Infinity War Parts 1/2 and the solo sequels)

Then they could've easily cast someone like Logan Lerman, Thomas Mann, Freddie Highmore, etc. in the role.

Edit: Also, Civil War wouldn't really 'count' with him being high school bound.

 

[Webhead2006]

ya i havent heard anything more on how much they really want to play with hs last we heard they want to do 3 solo films in hs. But like i brought up we need to know what he is for civil war/solo 1. Then with how long it takes for sequels to come out with mcu/real time in a effect will likely affect how long we will be in hs. But again if solo 2 and solo 3 are not coming out to 2020-2022 he should not still be in hs at that point. As that screws with the real time setting mcu is now plus really goes against what kevin has said we be seeing peter age and grow over the years and defeats the purpose of casting young and all that.

No, he's going to be High-School for much longer than that. The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and many other reputable sources have confirmed that Marvel wanted more than one film in High-School. (THR even going so far as to say the plan is to do a trilogy of HS films) Also Feige himself being disgruntled with the fact that Peter graduated HS in the second TASM film.

 

[Webhead2006]

again harry even though the plan right now is to stay in hs longer ie at least 2 of 3 solos i say. Its again all dependent how quickly sequels get out. As i brought up with the mcu moving at real time and if peter is a freshmen in civil war which we know is set in 2016. That already puts a time stamp of out if he is a freshmen for 2016/2017 civil war/solo 1. He has to be done with hs by 2020 could push it to 2021 if they say school was out for a bit or what not due to another invasion or what not.

But no way he should still be in hs post 2020/2021 time frame. As that just doesnt work with the real moving timeframe mcu is now at. Plus again i cant see them taking 8 to 10 yrs to do 3 solo films and only 4 yrs in mcu time happen. Plus defeats the whole thing again of casting tom at 19/20 and he be pushing 28-30 and still hs that isnt right.

But again we dont know when/how quickly sequels could go. Again i would still say try to do solo 2 by 2019, and then solo 3 in 2020/2021. Either film solo 2/3 back to back. Or what have you. As we still dont know when we will see guardians 3, antman 3, let alone sequels for black panther, doctor strange, captain marvel. Plus as we already know the currently locked in times for films in 2017-2019 have moved around already. So they could move things up, move things down the schedule and what not.

Honestly what I want Peter in is School doesn't necessarily have to be High School could be college too. As long as he's in School for multiple films I'm cool. It's really nothing to panic over.

High school for 2 films then college for the third.

 

[ernesth100]

Alright fine, they can do that perfectly. I wouln't mind either way. Like I said, nothing to panic over

 

[Webhead2006]

again for the hs/college angle again its really all about what grade we are seeing peter in for civil war and solo 1. In conjunction with how quickly solo 2 and 3 comes out and how much time happens between infinity wars 1 and infinity wars 2. For how many films be it solo/avengers films we see peter in hs and when he should be done with hs/ and starting college. Again they are not age locking peter to just be 15/16 yrs old forever. Kevin has said the point of casting tom is to play off the harry potter aspect and we see him age and grow per each film he appears in and he will be aging and what not between films.

Again its not like they will make it be 3 films take 8 yrs to happen and he only gone through 2 or 3 yrs of time it just doesnt work like that for everything the mcu is now. That could have worked between iron man 1 and avengers 1. But now that we have the world and universe set up and time lines and events going on you cant play fast and loose with things now.
