Spider-Man

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, the writing duo being the Vaction sequel, recently confirmed being on board Spider-Man, and now offer the following on how it went down in addition to a few details.

Below you can check out the text (via Deadline), but worth pointing out is that the new Spider-Man will be:

• An action comedy similar to a John Hughes movie set throughout high school.

• They are approaching it from the standpoint Peter Parker/Spider-Man is a real kid, a high school geek who gets super powers he really doesn’t want, and he doesn’t become a super hero right away.

• Described as a “long journey” in that Spider-Man won’t be saving the whole world right away.

Our agent helped get our foot in the door with Marvel, sending them a script we had written, and letting them know our track record and that we’d love to move from broad comedy to action and action comedy. Also, it helped that Kevin Feige wanted to draw on the spirit of John Hughes for this Spider-Man, and we had just written and directed a sequel to a John Hughes-created franchise with Vacation. We’d pitched ourselves to both write and direct, and so our pitch included a pretty extensive story outline that appealed to them. After Jon Watts got the directing job, they came back and asked if we would be interested in doing the script. The answer was, yes.

Lot of specifics still have to be worked out, and we’ll be sitting with Jon Watts to figure it out, shortly. We definitely were attracted to approaching it from the standpoint of a real kid, a high school geek who, just because he gets super powers he doesn’t really want, doesn’t become a superhero right away.

It’s a long journey. You don’t want him to become someone capable of saving the world by second act. There is a wish fulfillment opportunity here in that few superheroes are given powers like this, and then has to navigate how to use them in a responsible way. Peter Parker is a geek, like us, and one of the very few superheroes who would actually read comic books. Stan Lee has said he wrote it that way, with wish fulfillment in mind, where most superheroes are very handsome adults, with superpowers. This is a real kid we’re talking about.

Spider-Man is speculated to be first appearing next May in Captain America: Civil War; the new standalone Spider-Man movie is due out July 28, 2017 directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland.

Last week saw mention that the writers of the Vacation remake will be penning the script for the new Spider-Man.

Now John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein have confirmed the news.

“We can finally acknowledge that,” Daley told npr.org. “This is the first time that we can say that we are writing it.”

“We’ve been saying no comment for the last week,” Goldestein added. “We’re thrilled.”

“He’s a sharp kid and witty and kind of deals with the fact that he’s an outcast and a geek through humor,” Daley offered about Spider-Man. “It is sort of the safety net for geeks like us, so I think we can totally relate to where he’s coming from. As well as the superpowers, which we also have.”

The Spider-Man reboot is set for a July 28, 2017 release starring Tom Holland, with Kevin Feige on as producer along with Sony’s Amy Pascal. It’s speculated Spider-Man will also appear in Captain America: Civil War out next May. Marisa Tomei is in talks for Aunt May.

With Marvel and Sony rebooting Spider-Man, Denis Leary reveals potential details for what could have been for Amazing Spider-Man 3, which sounds like something more out of The Walking Dead.

Leary tells IGN that Spider-Man would have created some kind of formula that brought people back from the dead.

Possibly in 3, there was this idea at one point that Spider-Man would be able to take this formula and regenerate the people in his life that had died. So, there was this discussion that Captain Stacy would come back even bigger in episode 3.

While it could be zombies, possibly the story may have connected to Morbius the Living Vampire in some way?

Marc Webb also recently commented on the Spider-Man reboot offering he would have liked to use The Gentleman and Venom.

Tom Holland will be the new Marvel Spider-Man speculated to first appear in Captain America: Civil War next May, and the Spider-Man reboot follows in 2017 directed by Jon Watts.

MTV caught up with Marc Webb, director of the Amazing Spider-Man movies to get his thoughts on the Marvel reboot.

Webb says above that he is really psyched for Spider-Man to return to Marvel and that it’s super exciting, but at the same time kind of sad because he has to surrender the character to someone else.

Marc Webb also said he’s curious to see how the new Spider-Man evolves and can’t wait for it to come out.

Regarding what-could-have-been, Webb  offers it would have been fun to play out the character of The Gentleman who was going to be responsible for getting the Sinister Six together, and he would have liked to use Venom.
