'Spider-Man' News: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Director Speaks on Character Moving to Marvel [VIDEO]
The news of Spider-Man finally moving into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been music to everyone's ears but one ambitious director's.
While the collective fan feedback for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' franchise has never been horrible, there's no doubt that the rightful home for the character is at the MCU, but that still doesn't negate everything director Marc Webb wanted to do for the character.
"I'm really psyched that Spider-Man is going back to the Marvel universe, I'm really excited to see that incarnation," 'The Amazing Spider-Man' director told MTV. "And Jon Watts is directing it, I knew him from the old music video days and he'd done some really fantastic music videos so it's really exciting."
He goes on to express his disappoint that his time with the character was fairly short-lived. He supposedly did have a lot more plans for the superhero in further sequels.
"Tons of ideas were batted around (a female Spider-Woman series, Aunt May and many other borderline ridiculous ideas) and many of them included pushing "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" back several years so spin-off films like "Sinister Six" could hit theaters first and maybe recoup some of the goodwill lost with audiences," writes IndieWire.
"It's sad a little bit to surrender that in a way," he continued. "But it's as it must be I guess. I think there's a huge capacity for reinvention of the realm of the Spider-Man universe... there's a lot of different way so interpret that character... so I'm curious to see how that evolves."
There are many different ways to interpret the character indeed, as what Marvel has already seemingly rebooted the character with is already a polar opposite of his last film interpretations.
The rebooted 'Spider-Man' lands in theaters July 28, 2017, however he'll have his first on screen debut in 'Captain America: Civil War.'
