.......and this time, he's bringing some friends! As reported by pretty much every website EVER, Sony Pictures and Marvel Entertainment/Disney have reached an agreement to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, I know this is a site about Spider-Man, but the phrase I think we most often hear is "WHEN is Spider-Man gonna show up in an Avengers movie?" or "Spider-Man NEEDS to be in the Marvel movie universe!". You know what I don't hear too much "I can not WAIT to see Wolverine fight The Hulk on the big screen!" or "Man, I SO wish the Fantastic Four would show up in an Avengers movie!". Nope, it's always Spidey.
-And with good reason. Spider-Man is Marvel Comics' most popular hero, and he's the character that is most identifiable with the Marvel Universe. So, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Time will tell, of course, but for my money, it's a VERY good thing. For one, Marvel's licensing partners will be able to focus more on the Spider-Man movies like they do on the other Marvel films (yes, we all know it's going on, don't deny it). Word has it that we'll first get to see Spider-Man in next years Captain America: Civil War, with his solo movie coming out in July or 2017. Can I just ask one favor, Marvel? Please, PLEASE for the love of God. Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin in a decent suit that looks like a GREEN GOBLIN. Not a low-rent Iron Man. Not a ski-outfit with a funny skateboard. THIS:
Jazz it up a little, that's fine. But keep it as true to the comic as you do Spider-Mans. And just once, I'd love to see a super-hero movie that DIDN'T kill off the main villain in the first movie!!
