Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Sounds like we're gonna find out who will be America's Next Top Spider-Man very soon.
Oy, I don't know about any of you guys, but the suspense is killing me!

Figuratively.
But really, that article says we could get an announcement as early as next week. And who saw the whole "Punisher coming to the MCU" thing coming? When I first heard of that on IGN, I was like "Wait, what?"
What if they do the same with Spidey?
EDIT: Also, anyone have theories on what the Spidey suit will look like since they said it was going to be different from the other ones and I don't think you could ask for a more faithful take on it than the one in TASM 2...

Guys can we please stop all of this ridiculous speculation? None of this is even remotely plausible.

This song needs more love.As far as costume design goes, I'm most interested in how they are going to handle the webshooters. Since he's in the MCU now, they might as well go down a road that the other films couldn't of.
Depending on how big of a role he has in Civil War I could see him starting off either with no webshooters or a beta version of the webshooters before getting his hands on a Stark prototype and integrating it into his suit.
How do you feel about the organic web shooters?
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.I liked them in the Spider-Man Trilogy because I felt the implementation was a resonable consequence of getting the rest of his spider-like abilites. I also generally like them as an evolution of Peter's already spider-enhanced body, and in the end of the day it's a preferable route to having someone else be responsible for the web shooters.
My issue here is the web shooters and synthetic webbing are the best indicators of Peter's intelligence and engineering. He has too much to lose by handing credit for those inventions over to someone else in an adaptation.
RE the "candidates", only know of Tom Holland because I saw him in Wolf Hall. He doesn't have many lines but he does some good emoting and he is kind of "stolid" looking.
RE the webshooters- I thought ASM did a good job in showing a webshooter that both showcased Peter's intelligence and was something he could have built with available resources.

Yeah as with the "What do you mean Black Panther has a plane?!" argument from a few days ago, I really don't need Tony to have involvement (no matter how indirect) in everyone else's tech.
It was more understandable in Phases 1 and 2 when he was really the only genius character, but now that we're getting into properties like Ant-Man, BP and Spider-Man I'd rather they make their own tech.
And besides I always thought the comics' idea that Peter has to spend money to make more web fluid to be an interesting idea that wasn't really played up enough.

I was always skeptical of the idea that they wanted an actual 14-15 year old in the role because quite frankly, that can go bad real easily. You never know how puberty is gonna hit someone and if they really wanted the new series to focus on Peter in high school for more than one film, that could be a serious issue.
Especially since you're still likely getting at least two years between sequels.
