With Spider-Man joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, discussions about the character have been the number one topic of conversation for Kevin Feige. But it seems as though the Marvel head honcho is on the same page as most of the Internet in his preference of Spider-Man movies.
“Right now, it’s all about producing the new stand-alone Spider-Man movie,” Feige told Superhero Hype. “That’s what Sony is focused on. That’s what we’re focused on, and whatever happened before that or after that, sort of remains to be seen, but it’s all about producing the best Spider-Man movie we can, certainly within the Sony Universe… We’re going to have it be its own thing but some of those Spider-Man films… I think Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero movies ever, so that’s a lot to live up to.”
Peter Parker/Spider-Man will be played this time round by Tom Holland (The Impossible) and the character will be introduced in the MCU in next year’s Captain America: Civil War before getting his own solo movie in 2017.
