Recently Donald Glover revealed in an interview that he was done campaigning for the role of Spider-Man. But now in an interview for the Lazarus Effect Glover would not confirm or deny discussions for the role. "I can't say I'm the next Spider-Man," he said. But when asked if he wasn't the next Spider-Man, he responded. "I can't say that either. I mean, it's not out yet."
 
Rumor is bull. Why would Marvel want another ethnic character to take away shine from black panther who's role already has to be scaled back because of Spider-mans inclusion...

99% Spiderman will be Parker. 616>>>
Why do they have to have only one..
Basically.

lame over here literally just elevated Black Panther to the MCU's token ethnic character. Which isn't a good thing. He aint just a token black with a solo, now he's their quota for all ethnic characters :x

Lame :smh:
 
“Of course, I would always be honored to play Spider-Man. It’s Spider-Man! But I just want it to be good,” Glover told Yahoo’s Kevin Polowy in an interview to promote his upcoming film, The Lazarus Effect. “I just want the Spider-Man movie to be dope, that’s all I want.”

But what of the growing online movement to cast him? It’s on his radar, but he’s going to leave it to the fans this time. “Campaigning’s part of life,” he said. “But for me, I’ve got a lot of stuff that I’m really excited about, and dropping it all… of course it’d be an honor. But it’s like, it’s fine. If it comes to, if not—I’m very daoist about it.”

You can check the video out too.. He doesn't say much. Wouldn't be surprised if he's involved in the writing.

From a "reddit leaker"....


So Dylan O'Brien is pretty much our new Spidey from the look of things. A source tells me he gave Sony the audition of his life, who by the way, absolutely loved what they saw from him. Amy Pascal and team knew they had their Spider-Man.

Sony apparently started leaning towards O'Brien over Lerman when they figured Dylan had a better grasp and feel of the tone they were going for.

Mind you, anything could happen from now until the official announcement, which if not on March 5th, (unlikely) then somewhere in mid-March to early-April.

But nonetheless, there is a tremendously high chance, like a 99.9% percent chance, this will end up becoming official. There's more info down below in the comments, see if you please.

UPDATE: It is official, Dylan has signed on as the new webhead!
 
Via Latino Review:

Senor Fenix here boys and girls with the latest news on Spider-Man at Sony.

There has been much reported on and some news neglected in recent weeks. Kevin Feige and the Marvel team will be producing the new series at Sony in what is envisioned as a three part series to come out over consecutive summers. There is talk about calling the series SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN after yet another Marvel comics series ala the last films being called “Amazing.”

Feige was allowed to join the process only after Ike Perlmutter, Feige’s boss and the man behind the curtain, insisted that former partner and one time friend Avi Arad be removed from the film series. Since Sony had installed Arad as a courtesy back in 2000 it was an easy removal legally. But since former Sony Studio head Amy Pascal made herself a producer on the film on the way out the door, I understand there was a lot of acrimony when Amy informed Avi he was out. Arad will receive an EP credit on the film and instead focus on making a feature out of GHOST IN THE SHELL without any Asian actors.

I understand that Avi’s partner on the recent less-than-stellar reboot Matt Tolmach was so shocked when Pascal (his close friend) informed him she was in and he was out he is now wandering the Sony lot dazed, like after a headbutt from the Rhino.

So the thinking at the moment is that Sony will faze out all the Spidey Verse films they were developing. Yes even the Aunt May film (that was real!) and focus on a story involving Spidey versus the Sinister Six. At one point they were developing a film that was just going to be a spinoff called THE SINISTER SIX. That’s scrapped but the big news is that the director of that film, Drew Goddard, will write AND direct the Spectacular Spider Man movie.

Key things to look for in the new series:

-No new origin story, Spidey exists from the beginning, taken as a given

-New actor, probably an unknown, he will be specifically based in High School and they want him to be able to grow up into the role. The thought being if this works, Spidey can do multiple trilogies for years ala Harry Potter.

-A major part of the first film will involve Spider- Man fighting Iron Man and then trying to pass the “audition” to join the Avengers

-The first film will involved the Sinister Six coming together with the thought to later maybe spin them off.



I know the brave Reddit Warriors are talking about Dylan O’Brien but of the guy is 23 and already in a series, I doubt he’s the guy- and in fact casting will not begin for a number of months yet while Sony and Marvel cross the t’s.

In the words of Tay1 "Meh"

I wouldn't want an Iron Man versus Spidey fight. We've already seen Iron Man fight Thor, going to fight Hulk, going to fight Captain America

Spidey verus Hawkeye :pimp:

Let's go
 
Pretty much.

Seriously. You want to give Spidey the audition of the lifetime, have him audition by fighting Thor or the Hulk :smokin

I feel like that wouldn't be a fair test. Spider-Man's "super human" strength pails in comparison to Thor's and Hulk's. He may be quicker than them but I just don't see Spider-Man beating or even fairing well against either of them without assistance for it to be much of an audition

Lol he doesn't have to beat either of them. If he can survive and fight them to a standstill that's a success considering he's a massive underdog.

That's the best part about Spidey, he's the underdog in a lot of fights but somehow gets by on his smarts and cleverness

Wasn't there an arc where when Spidey's powers got boosted he fought the whole XMen team to a standstill?

Now if we bring that to the MCU

That I understand. I just don't think it would be a good audition seeing as I feel like it would be a lot of evasion on Spider-Mans part and not really "showing his stuff" up against Thor or Hulk. Against iron man or even captain America would be a more entertaining fight in my opinion. As
For Spider-Man and the Xmen idk. I'm speaking strictly marvel cinematic universe
 
^Ok, gotcha

I do feel it would be exciting as hell to watch Spidey avoid blows by both Thor and/or the Hulk

Imagine Spidey almost getting decked and the missed punch takes out a car or a tank or a small building :wow:

Was wrong about Lerman getting the role, I guess o'brian was that good....but was right about everything else, including RDJ's involvement
 
I think Spidey vs Cap would be the better fight or are they saving that for later...

Cap and Spidey would be pretty even. Idk I think I'd be geeked to see him fight someone out of his strength league for the underdog factor
