Marc Webb Reveals Changes to the Origin of Spider-Man

It looks like Marc Webb and Sony Pictures have completely revamped the origin story of Spider-Man in the upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man. The fact that they made changes really isn't new, but until today we've only heard bits an pieces of the changes that were made. In a recent interview Webb reveals a few things about the origin that you'll be interested in hearing. 

First off he talks bout how the story behind Peter Parker's parents will be told throughout the course of a few movies explaining, 

I wanted to give the audience something new, so that started off with getting underneath the parents' story, which will unfold over probably a few movies. We don't totally wrap up that story in this first movie. It's sort of an ongoing mystery. That was something that was interesting to me.

I could see something much bigger brewing there. It will obviously play a big role in the all-around story. It think it's great that he's exploring Parker's parents, why not? The director then goes on to talk about what drives Parker to becoming Spider-Man, and how the motivation behind it is different than what we've come to know,

This is probably a reveal, but there is no wrestling match in this movie. The character is evolving in a different way. It's about finding a balance between iconic elements of the 'Spider-Man' mythology—like how Uncle Ben's death transforms him emotionally—but it happens in a different way.

He then goes on to make a big reveal and possible Spoiler that about the Spider that bites Spider-Man,

He's bitten by a spider, but maybe it's not a radioactive spider. Or maybe it is! You'll have to see. There are elements that we were very conscious of, but it all emanated from [the idea of] this kid who got left behind by his parents many, many years before. I thought that was interesting enough for me to explore.

As a fan of Spider-Man, I want you to know that I trust this property in the hands of Webb, and he's going to give a very exciting and different take on the character that I'm looking forward to. He's bringing something special to this character, and I hope the fans of the comic can appreciate what he's trying to do. Of course there's going to be a lot of fans that wont like what he's doing, but at least give it shot. This really is looking like it could be an incredible movie.
