Metropolis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 True there is no need to retell. Just like there was never a need to recast so soon the first time. That's part of the reason the Amazing Spider-Man movies didn't do well. That and that first one was meh..... I just hope this has been in the works for a while. Marvel has adjusted their schedule to accommodate Spidey. You just know though that the next announcement will be from Fox, if FF does well,that there will be an X-Men FF crossover.

Darth Lohr Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've heard marvel doesn't want to do any more origin stories at all, even for the non-mainstream heroes like Strange and Captain Marvel.It may not matter for Spidey's solo flick, though. Ultimately, if it's a Sony picture, they will have final say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Technically yeah. Officially. But with Kevin Fiege as executive producer, I doubt it in reality. I think that was thrown in just for Sony to save face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think Kevin's role on solo Spider-films will be to ensure they don't do anything that jacks up the MCU since Sony will basically be making in-continuity movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 https://www.yahoo.com/movies/news/spider-man-10-recommendations-successful-reboot-050048660.html There are some good thoughts in there. Especially lightening the tone of the movies. I thought ASP2 did a better job, but we all knew where they were going in the end of the movie. I think they should take The Incredible Hulk approach. Though Marvel recast the roles, the events of the Ang Lee movie still took place. It was a continuation of a story and not a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pretty sure that Norton's Hulk was a reboot, as shown by his accident being more like Bixby's show (mixed with Super Soildery Shield Stuff) than Bana's film. Afterthought: Perhaps you meant Norton to Ruffalo, as I do think Norton's film events are part of Ruffalo's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not gonna lie. I never saw the beginning of the movie. It always seemed that the events happening were playing off Norton already being the hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I can't recall where the new origin is shown, but I think it's only a flashback and the film starts with Banner as the Hulk already. That could be why you remember it more as a continuation. Or I could be remembering wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not a continuation. They haven't said whether the last 2 spider-films will be MCU or not-- but recasting Garfield makes it seem likely they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think the earliest part of the movie I remember is him in the bottling factory. I just looked it up and they call it a loose sequel. They re did the origin to mimic the television show more than the first one did, but the idea was to just go forward from The Hulk.

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I thought the idea at the time was you could believe it was a continuation or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue 3 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 In all honesty, I went was anti The Amazing Spider-man as soon as it was announced - the reboot so soon after Raimi's films just wound me up. Really unnecessary - just greed by Sony.After all the recent news, I finally watched the most recent film for the first time and didn't think it was as bad as I feared. Way too many characters - cut that down and it might have been a more popular film. Garfield is fine, no issues with him if they had wanted to continue with him in the MCU. But it seems certain we'll have yet another actor in the role, which is a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Actors are meant to act a part. Ownership of roles is a modern perception that might be harming the ability to tell stories. There could be a different actor as a particular character in every film, as long as the character is the character it should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I keep hearing Sony had to do the reboot to keep the rights but that seems off to me. They'd done 3 SM movies within the span of 6-7 years. Seems like that would satisfiy some kind of minimum requirement for at least a decade. Batman had a longer gap after their run of movies starting in 1989. So I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I don't know that anyone knows the specifics of the contracts. But since Batman is owned by the company putting out the movies, I don't understand that comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The specifics are unknown, but Sony and Fox have to keep using their licenses to keep them-- not sure what the exact deadline is, but it's a thing. And yeah, DC and WB are both part of AOL Time Warner so they don't have to worry about these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
