Marvel's Spider-Man Will Have a "Non-Stop Wit"
Fans have had lots of questions about Spider-Man since Sony Pictures allowed Marvel Studios to help re-develop the character for the big screen and introduce him into the Marvel cinematic universe. This week we've been given some answers, and now we have some additional information for you on the character from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
While talking to IGN, Feige discussed exploring things from the comic that haven't been explored in the films, how the new incarnation of the character relates to Batman, and also what the personality of the character will be like.
"It's a testament to his character that there have been five movies made already over the last, however long it's been, 13 years, and yet, there's so many things that are integral to his character in the comics that haven't been explored yet. That's what most exciting."
He went on to compare their revival of Spider-Man to Batman, saying:
"Batman was the same way; there had been four Batman movies, and then Batman Begins was able to do something unique and tap into something that hadn't been seen before in the movies. It's a similar thing, obviously tonally completely different from Batman, but we're very excited about any number of things about Spidey and his standalone adventures."
As for the the personality of the Spider-Man we'll see in these upcoming films, he explained:
"When he puts that mask on, in the comics, he has a non-stop wit that is almost as troubling to the bad guys he fights as his webs and agility. We feel we haven't really seen that yet."
I love that. I think they almost had it with The Amazing Spider-Man films, but it didn't quite get there. As we've previously reported the new Spider-Man will be a 15-16 year old high school teenager, and they will skip the origin story this time around since we already know it. I can't wait to see him swing into the MCU for the first time!
