![]() ![]() Casting only recently began in earnest as filming is set to get underway this summer, with Marisa Tomei attached to play Aunt May and Disney Channel alum Zendaya signing on this week in the supporting role of a character named Michelle. Speaking of which, filmmaker Jon Watts-whose indie Cop Car debuted at Sundance last year-has been tasked with directing the untitled Spider-Man standalone with a script by Horrible Bosses and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Moreover, the standalone Spider-Man film will focus on a high school-set story, something that Marvel and Sony hopes set it apart from the other Spider-Man movies. How will Holland’s Spider-Man compare to the performances of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire? I’m a massive fan of what Garfield brought to his performances, but Marvel Studios really wanted to skew young with Spidey this time around, so we can expect this teenager to bring an interesting dynamic to the MCU fold. ![]() Click on the images below for a high-resolution look at the suit: Moreover, since Tony calls Parker “Underoos,” we can assume there’s some sort of rapport there already when Spidey swings into battle. Many folks have been guessing that when Spidey pops up in Civil War, it’s Tony Stark who builds his suit, and given the advanced tech necessary to make those expressive eyes, I’m willing to bet that’s not the invention of a high school student. After a lengthy casting search that saw finalists like Asa Butterfield and Nat Wolff in the mix, Sony and Marvel settled on 19-year-old Tom Holland to fill the role of Peter Parker, and we know that he filmed scenes for Civil War, so that is definitely his voice we hear coming out of the Spidey suit at the end of the new trailer.īut what of the new suit? It’s hard to tell if that’s a performer on a soundstage or if this brief glimpse of Spider-Man is fully CG, but what we do see is that the eyes on the suit are expressive, which is a first for the franchise. And so today, we got our very first look at what Spider-Man looks like with the full creative input of Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige. ![]()
