The casting for MCU's Spider-Man kept fans on quite the speculation cycle for a while, but now that the actor to play the hero has finally been confirmed, fans are now wondering how this version of the Spider-Man will differ from what we've already seen.

Kevin Feige has been on a roll with presenting details on his long slate of Marvel films yet to be released, and in a recent interview with LA Times the Marvel Studio President povides some details on the role the superhero will play. He explains:

"No, everyone takes for granted that he's in it, but I don't want people to have false expectations. Well, you see the casting right away. He's younger by I think five or six or seven or eight years than either Tobey [Maguire] or Andrew [Garfield] when they were cast and that's very intentional. You look at the early comic books of Spider-Man and what was so great about what Stan Lee and Steve Ditko did was they said what if one of the most powerful heroes we have is a high school kid who also has to do homework and isn't a billionaire, or isn't a genius scientist, or isn't a trained assassin, or isn't another scientist who had an accident but is a kid?"

He goes on to explain how Spider-Man's connection with other superheroes in the MCU will affect his representation:

"To go back to those Stan Lee, Steve Ditko origin tales of having him be younger and that dichotomy with dealing with the rest, and also in Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man. That the younger he was, the more truer he was to the original Spider-Man comic book stories and also the more unique and different he would be in comparison to the other Marvel heroes."

He also speaks on the actor, Tom Holland in an interview with Fandango, explaining why his casting was perfect:

"It was a universal decision. We do a lot of tests and a lot of meetings so we can really try to find someone who becomes a unanimous choice. And in this case, it was Tom. He's just amazing! And he can do his own flips, which is just an added bonus. We didn't cast him for that reason. We cast him because he's an amazing actor and he's going to have all of those flavors Peter Parker needs to have."
