Peter Parker already up and running in MCU

Spider-Man screenwriters John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein have spoken out about the upcoming Spider-Man reboot starring Tom Holland and set within the MCU and their comments are pretty encouraging. The movie looks set to skip the everyone-and-your-mum knows it back story and get straight to the action.

"The main difference I think is the tone will be really grounded, about a real kid who gets these powers and what that means to a geeky, outcast kid and how he deals with them," Goldenstein told USA Today. "You don't instantly become a superhero, it's a long journey." Daley added, "It's spending a lot more time in the high school. And so we have time to sort of develop the powers with him and experience the wish fulfilment. And also just the fact that it is really alienating to other people."

Since we've already seen two Spidey origin movies in 2001's 'Spider-Man and 2012's reboot 'The Amazing Spider-Man' it seems like a wise choice to mix things up with an already established hero. Daley also added that the new Marvel Cinematic Universe movie will show a Spider-Man who is familiar with his powers but needs practise , in a tongue in cheek comment he also confirmed Peter Parker won't get up to any face-palm antics like in the often mocked 'Spider-Man 3' "I don't think the origin story is going to be in there and also I think we’re going to avoid the emo dance ... as much love it," he said.

  We couldn't resist!

Goldstein also added that Tom Holland's Peter Parker will be a "self-conscious" kid, someone who is unpopular and of course a "little geeky.", he continued, "We want to sort of tell that story, and the fact that getting powers and becoming Spider-Man doesn't solve your problems."

"Because he has to keep it a secret from everyone, so it just makes everything worse for him." Daley added.

The 'Spider-Man' reboot is set for release July 28 2017 but Tom Holland will appear as old webhead first 'Captain America: Civil War' which hits theatres May 6 2016.
