[loyis7]

Ο νεαρός Πήτερ Πάρκερ / Spider-Man, μετά το εντυπωσιακό του ντεμπούτο στο Captain America: Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος, εξερευνά τη νέα του ταυτότητα ως υπερήρωας στο Spider-Man: Η Επιστροφή στον Τόπο του. Ενθουσιασμένος από την εμπειρία του με τους Εκδικητές, ο Πήτερ επιστρέφει στο σπίτι του όπου ζει με την θεία Μέι, πάντα κάτω από το άγρυπνο βλέμμα του καινούργιου του μέντορα, Τόνι Σταρκ. Ο Πήτερ προσπαθεί να προσαρμοστεί στη ρουτίνα της ζωής του, αφαιρείται όμως από την ανάγκη του να αποδείξει ότι είναι μπορεί να είναι πολύ περισσότερα από ένας απλός, καθημερινός υπερήρωας. Όταν όμως εμφανίζεται ο Vulture, ένας καινούργιος εχθρός, τότε όλα εκείνα που ο Πήτερ θεωρεί σημαντικά μοιάζουν να απειλούνται.

Kevin Feige confirms Spider-Man will be a teen Peter Parker

Although it’s been heavily rumored for the past two months, it’s finally 100% official: The next Spider-Man will be Peter Parker and he will be roughly 15 or 16 years old. Collider got the confirmation from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who explains that he wants to take advantage of Parker’s high school life to tell Spidey stories that we haven’t yet seen on the big screen.

“In terms of the age of an actor we’ll eventually cast, I don’t know,” Feige admits. “In terms of the age of what we believe Peter Parker is, I’d say 15-16 is right… one of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he’s in high school for a lot of it. We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the MCU, which is something else we want to explore: how unique he is when now put against all these other characters.”

Although Parker was only in high school for the first 28 issues of the original “The Amazing Spider-Man,” Brian Michael Bendis’s “Ultimate” take on the character was wholly set during Peter’s teen years.

Casting for the new Spider-Man is expected to be announced very soon as the character will debut in Anthony and Joe Russo’s upcoming Captain America: Civil War, set for release on May 6, 2016. He’ll then get his own solo film, written and directed by Drew Goddard, set for release on July 28, 2017. As always, check back for updates as soon as they become available!

The new Spider-Man movie won’t be an origin story!

Fans who are dreading a third big screen re-telling of Spider-Man’s origins need fear not as CraveOnline today has learned, straight from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, that 2017’s Spider-Man film won’t be an origin story!

“There is a young kid [already] running around New York City in a homemade version of the Spider-Man costume in the MCU,” says Feige. “You just don’t know it yet… In Spider-Man’s very specific case, where there have been two retellings of that origin in the last whatever it’s been – [thirteen] years – for us we are going to take it for granted that people know that, and the specifics.”

This news comes on the heels of confirmation earlier today that the film will, indeed, follow a high school-aged Peter Parker.

“We’ve already designed the costume,” Feige teases, “which is different than any of the ones that have come before. And yet ours is classic Spidey, as I think you’ll see.”

Check out the full interview, in which Feige also talks about what he thinks the other big screen versions of Spider-Man got right, over at CraveOnline.

Tom Holland is the new Spider-Man and will be directed by Jon Watts!

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced that, following a lengthy casting process, actor Tom Holland (The Impossible, In the Heart of the Sea) will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in their next Spider-Man film, which is set to hit theaters on July 28. 2017. In addition, director Jon Watts, director of the upcoming thriller Cop Car, will helm the feature.

Marvel and Sony Pictures, and producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal conducted an extensive search for both the actor and the director. The studios and producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in The Impossible, “Wolf Hall,” and the upcoming In the Heart of the Sea, and by a series of complex screen tests. Following Marvel’s tradition of working with the brightest next wave of directors, Watts also went through multiple meetings with Feige, Pascal, and the studio, before winning the job.

“It’s a big day here at Sony. Kevin, Amy and their teams have done an incredible job,” Tom Rothman, Sony Pictures Motion Pictures Group Chairman, said. “The Marvel process is very thorough, and that’s why their results are so outstanding. I’m confident Spider-Man will be no exception. I’ve worked with a number of up-and-coming directors who have gone on to be superstars and believe that Jon is just such an outstanding talent. For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start.”

“As with James Gunn, Joss Whedon, and the Russo brothers, we love finding new and exciting voices to bring these characters to life,” Kevin Feige added “We spent a lot of time with Jon and find his take and work inspiring.”

Amy Pascal added, “Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world. With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Jon Watts discusses his plans for Marvel’s Spider-Man

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures surprised many last month when they announced that the new Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man film would be directed by relative newcomer Jon Watts. Watts, whose sophomore feature Cop Car hits theaters soon, spoke today with EW about landing the Spider-Man gig and his plans for the friendly neighborhood webhead.

“I’m not really sure what happened,” Watts said. “I had never been to Sundance before. I was nervous because that was the first time we were showing the movie to an actual crowd… [Marvel] got to see ‘Cop Car’ and they really liked it… Now, I’ve got to make a slightly more expensive version. It’s an opportunity to just have a much bigger canvas instead of just scrapping together any story you can.”

Watts also heaped praise on young star Tom Holland, who will first be wearing the webs in next year’s Captain America: Civil War.

“[Tom] can be a real high school student,” Watts continues. “That’s why people love Spider-Man. He’s the most grounded, relatable of superheroes. And Tom can really do that. He captures that. And he can do a standing back-flip. He’s perfect.”

We’re still not sure how big a role Spidey has in Civil War, but Watts says that cooperation is key in building a large cinematic world.

“I mean, it’s a big universe, so everyone sort of works with each other to make sure that there’s continuity and that it all fits together,” he explains. “It’s really exciting actually. We’re just getting started, working on the script and all that, but it’s going to be a great process.”

Cop Car, meanwhile, stars Kevin Bacon, Shea Whigham, Camryn Manheim, James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Welford. The movie hits theaters on August 7.

There, as part of the Sony Pictures presentation, Holland helped announce that next summer’s solo Spidey film has a title. As has been rumored for a few days, the July 7, 2017 release will be titled Spider-Man: Homecoming.

“It really is a homecoming,” Holland told the crowd, “because, throughout the movie, Peter is trying to find out who he is and where he belongs in this world.”

Φήμες υποστηρίζουν ότι ο Vulture θα εμφανιστεί στην ταινία.

Tην εβδομάδα που μας πέρασε ο Michael Keaton ήταν σε διαπραγματεύσεις για ένα ρόλο του οποίου οι λεπτομέρειες δεν είχαν ανακοινωθεί. Δυστυχώς δεν ήρθαν σε συμφωνία... Κρίμα, γιατί θα ήταν ένας καλός Vulture.

Τρώω τα νύχια μου (έτσι κι αλλιώς το κάνω) για επιβεβαίωση Chris Evans, καθώς το ομώνυμο κόμικ Spiderman είχε εμφανίσεις Captain America + IM.
