Dark Nexus has brought our attention to the announcement that Raimi, Maguire, and Dunst are out. The next Spider-man will put Parker back in high school and restart the franchise.
Information here and here and elsewhere.
Raimi liked neither the script nor the direction. Call it a Brand New Day.
I suppose that’s the best they can do after Spider-Man 3. They squandered the best villain and left us with nothing.
My suggestion: Let it fade away for a decade or so, then revive it.
More “reboots”, help us. This means another origin story. Just do like the comics, and assume the audience knows how it began, and tell a good story.
Good
The 2 leads were miscast from the begining
Dunst and Maguire were never MJ or Peter to me
Also it needs a reboot because Rami has shown half of New York Peters face
