![]() We can only hope that Marvel’s biggest rivals understand the same principle when The Batman comes out in March 2022. No one needed to see that kind of pain so early in the story once again. ![]() The assumption that director Jon Watts (who was behind all three Spider-Man MCU adventures), Marvel’s Kevin Feige, and Sony’s Amy Pascal made, that everyone knows Spidey’s origin (getting bit by some sort of mutated spider and gaining powers, letting a bad guy go leading directly to the death of his beloved Uncle Ben) was a smart one. But all three, now, of Holland’s solo Spidey MCU adventures have managed to upend what we know about the character, maintaining this to be, yes, Peter Parker, but to place him firmly in a world, in a situation, and in a set-up that we haven’t seen before.Įven the basic set-up of this Spider-Man said from the very beginning that things were going to be happening differently. To say that his inclusion within the Marvel Cinematic Universe has breathed new life into the character of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, now played by the charming and always full of energy Tom Holland, is not exactly a bold statement. Sony’s first attempt at starting over with Marvel's best-known superhero-replacing Tobey Maguire with Andrew Garfield in the leading role-was a valiant effort that ultimately wasted its talented cast (leads Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans all do good work) in a reductive story, just around the time when fans of the genre had begun to crave storytelling that would prove more expansive ( The Avengers was released earlier that summer).Īnd while The Amazing Spider-Man franchise would ultimately set-up and never really follow through on an expansive universe of its own, even the most die-hard of Spidey supporters probably wouldn’t have ever dreamed of something like Spider-Man: No Way Home, a massive, world-bending Spider-Man movie set smack dab in the middle of perhaps the most ambitious superhero landscape we’ll ever know, hitting theaters just under a decade later. ![]() If someone would’ve said in 2012-when The Amazing Spider-Man hit theaters-that ideas for new Spider-Man movies may be running a bit dry, it would be hard to fault them too much. ![]()
