The next Spider-Man film may have landed it's writers. According to a report from THR, John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, the writing team behind Horrible Bosses and the upcoming Vacation sequel, are in early talks to write the new Spider-Man film.

No news from Marvel or Sony as of yet to confirm this, but if it's true, it's still too early.

The new film will have Peter Parker be a high schooler once again and the film is said to have a "John Hughes tone" to it. Both Spider-Man and Aunt May will be appearing in Captain America: Civil War next year.

The next Spider-Man reboot is set to come out in July of 2017.

Makes sense considering they're wanting a more lighter-toned and funny Spider-Man. Sounds good to me.

This movie sounds terrible, if you forget Keven Finge is behind it and think it's only Sony than it doesn't sound like good news.

Vacation looks bad from the previews so this doesn't really do anything to excite me. But hopefully I'm wrong.

@silverpool: I'm all for Aunt May being hot with Marisa Tomei but the whole idea of making this Spider-Man reboot like a John Hughes film and having the Vacation writers courted for writing the reboot is just as bad as Tim Story writing and directing the Fantastic Four movies.

I'll adopt a wait and see approach for this, but considering this is the third time in less than a decade that Spider-Man's being rebooted, they'll have to work on something good for Spider-Man to become a critically acclaimed and well received part of the MCU.

Never heard of them until now, but it seems that they mostly do bad comedies?

Makes them a perfect fit for the MCU then. Don't know why people have an issue.

@silverpool: As soon as I saw the words "writers" and "vacation" in the same sentence I didn't even bother with the rest of the article.

Batman gets an Academy Award-winning writer and director, while Spider-Man gets these scraps.

As long as they can get JK Simmons to do J. Jonah again, I really don't mind at all.

If this is true, hopefully these writers might try to be a little serious but still have some humor for Spidey.

Their humor while funny, only works in context to an r rated film so I'm not completely against this, but will look toward with caution.

I've give it a shot. For the most part, Marvel has done well with their films, Sony hasn't. Also at this point you can't really mess up Spider-man anymore than the last two attempts at a franchise. Maybe a hail mary is what they need.

So Spidey is gonna be cracking jokes all the live long day.

Kind of expected really, so... Meh.

As long as it's not over the top and when it's time to get serious, it's time to get serious.

I can't wait for Spider-Man's origin for the third time in roughly 10 years.

Oh God, they're adapting One More Day since maybe Joe Q wanted to have the audience see Aunt May getting shot [again] and Spiderman's erasing his marriage with Cosmic Cube.

*Flashback of Marvel's greatest couple retconned forever* THE HORROR.

Even the horrible Ultimate Spiderman cartoon adapted One More Day, which Peter Parker considered his kiss with MJ as a child as a "mistake".

I like John Francis Daley as an actor, but he hasn't amazed me with his writing yet (Hopefully that changes for Vacation). Horrible Bosses 1 was good and pretty funny, but Horrible Bosses 2 was just okay and Burt Wonderstone wasn't good at all.

@stardustcrusader: Not since One More Day.

I think they could have use Antman explanation, like Peter Parker Spiderman being from 60's and Miles Morales as his sucessor from modern times.

Kinda like Phantom (purple "ghost" hero who's actually a title passed from father to son) and MC2 (though either Peter or his daughter Mayday has to marry a black person to "have" Miles).
