Speculation Swirls Around Marc Webb S Spider Man Return

Speculation Swirls Around Marc Webb’s ‘Spider-Man’ Return

Webb’s return is looking likely, which wasn’t always the case, but there’s one thing to iron out first. 

And for what it’s worth, with respect to the actual story content of the next Spidey film, the LAT says that “the idea would be for Webb to continue to build the world, Nolan style,” with Alex Kurzman and Roberto Orci working with Webb and The Amazing Spider-Man screenwriter James Vanderbilt. And while this might not happen, the idea is floated that the sequel could actually tell some of the “untold story” of Peter’s parents and background that had to be cut from this year’s movie. 

Regardless, the next Spider-Man movie needs to get rolling forward soon if it wants to hit the planned May 2014 opening, which means a director is going to be chosen before very long.
