Re: OFFICIAL: Marvel Studios Spider-Man
I don't think Spider Man is going to be that central to Civil War, it sounds like Marvel is not going to be doing the whole "reveal your secret identity" element from the comics. It will possibly be some sort of all heroes must sign up with the government or riff on the PATROT ACT with superheroes.
That said, if the deal was just made, how far along was the Cap 3 script before they knew they could use Spider Man at all?
Now to make a Spider-Gwen movie!
sad to see Garfield go.
Variety said he's gone

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Folks here have been heavily speculating that he would be in the Civil War movie, but I think the general consensus is that his reveal was a terrible decision in the comics, and I personally hope they don't even consider that in the film. At which point, why involve him in that movie specifically? It isn't like dozens of other characters could just as effectively play the part of the guy who starts out following one side, then later realizes he made a terrible mistake and switches to the other side. But I don't really care so long as he's involved in these films in some capacity. Spidey and the FF do belong in the same "Universe" with the other Marvel characters. I agree that the X-Men are fine on their own, though. It fits the nature of the comic and the team, and those films are in very good hands right now with Singer at the helm.Having Spidey show his secret identity in Civil War would be a bad move IMO and put SONY in a corner from there on out story wise.
I wonder if they will cast someone who looks older than Andrew Garfield (I didn't see ASM2... was he still in high school? ) to visually match the age of the Avengers like Cap, Thor, Widow, etc.
I think Jake Gyllenhaal would be a good choice and he's certainly famous enough to create further interest. He did just turn down a DC role as well.
Hope they at least do villains not yet done. Kraven, Mysterio, Scorpion, Vulture, Chameleon. There's so many to do before retreading previous ones.
Then again. Marvel suck at villains so
