Marvel Rumored to be working on a Spider-Man Script!

Could we be seeing this in 2017?

Here we go again, following the latest revelations and fall out from the Sony hack scandal and e-mail leaks come's yet another rumor regarding everyone's favorite wall crawling wonder.

I'm sure some if not all of you will no doubt be aware of the rumors and speculation that seems to have been since confirmed that Sony Picture's Entertainment and Marvel Studio's did indeed have a series of meetings and discussions regarding having Spider-Man appear in Captain America 3: Civil War. following that movie in 2016 the rumour states that Sony will release a new Spider-Man film that is being produced by Marvel Studios who will also retain all creative control and Sony will be the sole distribution rights and have a share in the profits and the merchandise. Apparently this information is set to be released early next year following Sony's Spider-Man summit to which they have invited Kevin Feige and other Marvel execs to be a part of. This information regarding the invitation by Sony to Marvel to return to talk came from Seven Webheads whom you may know in any case you can find the youtube video below.

If this news is true then I'll be whooping up and down the streets in un-contained joy however after that little titbit and further investigation it turned out that a few other news sites got wind of another rumor that appeared to allud to the list of actors that Marvel have in mind to take over the role of Peter Parker\ Spider-Man for the next set of films.

Before we all throw our toys out the pram, this news pretty much confirms that Andrew Garfield has indeed been cast aside by Sony as for the reasons I stated in my piece yesterday. Those thinking that Marvel should just recast Andrew for the new set of films should be aware that Marvel apparently have plans for Andrew Garfield in a future role within the MCU.

There had been released online a list of potential actors that Marvel see could take the Spider-Man franchise forward the list of names are as follows. Anton Yelchin, Dylan O'Brien, Freddie Highmore, Thomas Mann, Logan Lerman, Michael Angarano, Douglas Booth, Nat Wolff, and Skandar Keynes. Now not exactly household names I'm sure you will agree, but seeing as it was reported that Amy Pascal of Sony Pictures Entertainment had a favoring for Ryan Gosling these names by Marvel are at least an improvement on that choice. Not too mention given Marvels track record in making excellent casting choices for their leads i'm sure each and every one of those actors on the shortlist has the ability to do the role justice. Though If i had to pin my colours to the mast I'd go for Logan Lerman following his impressive performance in Fury recently as my pick. but hey that's the fun right? why not let me know who from that list you see as Spidey.

the most exciting news that broke from the rumor last night however is that Marvel are already developing a script for a stand alone movie for perhaps a 2017 release, with the villains slated as the front runner being. either Mysterio, Shocker or even Kingpin using Vincent D'Onofrio to reprise his role from Daredevil.

Now i don't know about the rest of you but this latest rumor really has me excited given the proposed Marvel involvement. lets just hope that the rumors are true and the Spidey summit goes smoothly. It is said that Kevin Feige is extremely confident that things will come to fruition and I'm sure that he knows this is what the fans want. to have Spidey under the Marvel banner. Man it feels like Christmas.
