I don't see what's wrong with a reboot. Maguire as Spidey is a lot less interesting after all the crap we had to watch last time. Raimi also went WAYYYY overbudget on the last one, and we ended up with an awful movie.
Anyway, I vote Cronenberg!
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh I always thought Maguire was horribly miscast myself
oh man Cronenberg would have a field day with all the body issues and gooey substances and transformations/mutations - MAKE IT SO

Marc Webb, the (500) Days Of Summer director, has climbed to the top of the Sony Pictures' list to rebirth the Spider-Man franchise. While the studio has a wish list of star directors like James Cameron, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson, the emergence of Webb as director comes as a huge surprise. But Mike Fleming's sources tell him Webb met about the Spidey reboot with the pic's producers and executives looking to get the picture into production later this year for a Summer 2012 release. Why will the pic take so long? Because it's likely to be shot in 3-D, and Sony Pictures plans to make an announcement about that "at the appropriate time".

I probably would have seen Anderson or Fincher's take on tween spidey. But no surprise at them going for a guy who will likely give them everything they ask for on the thing.

Derrick Comedy member and star of NBC’s Community Donald Glover has started a campaign on twitter to get an audition for the role of Peter Parker in Marc Webb’s 3D Spider-Man Reboot. The comic actor is encouraging fans/followers to retweet the hash tag #donald4spiderman.
At the exact moment I’m publishing this article on Sunday night, the #donald4spiderman tag is popping up on over 100 new tweets every 60 seconds.Seems like a lot of people on the internets think its an inspired idea. Someone has even created a Donald Glover for Spider-Man Facebook fanpage.
I’ll admit, even if Sony or Webb are listening, I find it doubtful they would consider such a radically fresh new direction for this superhero franchise. But since the suggestion is gaining so much traction on the social web, I thought I’d throw the question out to the /Film readers: Would you like to see Don Glover play the new Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot? Leave your thoughts in the comments below

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drag about this is how many people are openly admitting that they believe Spider-Man should never be played by a black actor no way no how no when. As was argued by myself and several other people in the Slashfilm comments, if there's ANY comic book superhero who could stand a race change without missing a beat, it would be Spider-Man. And if you're going to reimagine Spider-Man in such a bold fashion, Donald Glover is an absolutely perfect choice.

I always like Gene Siskel's idea of Denzel Washington playing James Bond (if he could handle the accent of course).
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 31 May 2010 06:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Denzel's way too old now, but Idris Elba would rock a license to kill.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 May 2010 06:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Denzel's Saff Lahndaan accent was pretty good in some movie clip I saw once (he was very young, but I don't know the flick).

"And if you're going to reimagine Spider-Man in such a bold fashion, Donald Glover is an absolutely perfect choice."
Tracy Morgan is more dynamic in 3D and more convincing as a teen nerd/better with off-the-cuff mid-fight chatter. Also he looks better than Glover in glasses and in superhero tights.Donald Glover would be better as Rory Gilmore, if they were going to remake Gilmore Girls with black people.
