Then the sequel of that product line came out. Janie Foxx as a terrible Electro made little sense, and the death of Gwen Stacey shocked and saddened crowds in an unexpected way. The studio must have forgotten that we don't go to these movies to watch the bad guy win and the heroine die.
If we want to watch tragedy, we just need to walk down the street. We watch these movies to escape from our less-than-perfect lives and imagine something better. Hopefully, this new interpretation of Spider-man will keep that in mind.
The studio has already teased at the plotline of the new round of films, saying that they will not be another "origins" story. (Fans all over the world are breathing a sigh of relief as they read this.) In fact, the wall-crawler's return will not happen in a Spider-Man movie at all.
The web-head will make his first official appearance in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil war." Not a bad place to start for a hero looking to take his career on an upswing.
Actor Tom Holland will be taking his first swing at the Spider-Man character in the Captain America follow-up project. Not a bad way to get started in the superhero realm, as he will be co-starring with the cast of the Avengers, plus Black Panther and a few more Marvel mainstays to be released later.
If Tom Holland's Spider-Man can hold his own in the presence of a super-soldier, a billionaire robotics genius and the rightful King of Wakanda, I would say the odds are good that the stand-alone Spider-Man movie scheduled for 2017 will be a success.
