    Peter Parker confirmed for MCU, not Miles

    From Spider-Man News

    I almost feel a little silly writing this post. When Sony and Marvel announced their deal last month, Sony Pictures president said “this new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker’s story into the future.” Yet even though the press release clearly stated Peter Parker’s name, every online publication was writing articles about the possibility of Miles Morales coming to the big screen.

    If there was any doubt before, we can finally put those ridiculous Morales rumors to bed. Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment, answered some fan questions yesterday on his Tumblr blog (via Comic Book Movie). Quesada confirmed that Peter Parker is key to the reboot that’s coming in 2017:

    Have you seen any visual concepts/early designs for Spidey 2017? Also, what’s one of the main things you feel is most important to making this Spider-Man film the best that it can be?

    The trick to making any incarnation of Spider-Man great, whether comics, animation or film is Peter Parker. Get Peter’s character right and the rest falls into place.

    So there you have it! Peter Parker, not Miles Morales, will be Spider-Man in Sony and Marvel’s 2017 reboot. Hopefully it’s not too long before we hear who will be playing him.

    @anjales: I still can't believe that this was even a legitimate question.

    Like you said, the official press release stated that it was going to be Peter Parker, no doubt about it. Then fans of Miles and sites that had a problem with Parker being Spider-Man again insisted that there was enough time for Marvel and Sony to decide to use Miles, that Peter's mention was just a place holder name.

    I couldn't stand it then and I still can't stand it now, say what you will about Joe Quesada but he's right about this, it has to be Parker.

    Get that weak Miles crap out of here.

    I don't get how Miles even deserves a movie already. Its stupid to even think about giving him a movie. His story began 4 years ago.

    Peter Parker IS Spider-Man.
    And if there's any alternate Spidey who deserves a movie, then its Miguel O' Hara (Spidey 2099).

    First Candidate For MCU SPIDER-MAN Revealed?

    Find out who was the first known actor to audition for the role of Spider-Man in the MCU. This candidate would seemingly confirm that Kevin Feige and co. are definitely introducing Peter Parker, not Miles Morales (and no, it's not Dylan O'Brien). Continue on for details.

    According to Badass Digest, Weeds actor Mateus Ward auditioned for the role of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The auditon was reportedly so secret, Ward had to audition at someone's house, not at a casting office. Despite numerous rumous surrounding other young actors, Ward is the first to actually have his name mentioned for auditions. Badass Digest further reports that Marvel is potentially looking to lockdown the next Spider-Man very quickly in order to film a cameo for Captain America: Civil War. If this report is true, it would appear that Marvel may be looking to cast a relatively unkown for the role and someone young enough to continue playing Spider-Man for at least a decade.

    From ComicBook.com

    Mateus Ward Reportedly Testing For Spider-Man

    spiderman1

    Supposedly Marvel secretly met with 16-year-old actor Mateus Ward about playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man, according to Badass Digest.

    Ward, who is best known for his roles in Showtime's Weeds and CBS' Hostages, reportedly auditioned for the part at a house because Marvel wanted to keep it under the radar. Keep in mind, this comes from a new source for Badass Digest, so they're not even sure how reliable the source the information is. It does back up earlier claims that Marvel is looking to cast a much younger actor for the part than they have in the past.

    Next Spider-Man film will arrive July 28, 2017. Rumor has it that Drew Goddard ("Cabin In The Woods") will direct and it will be titled The Spectacular Spider-Man.

    Yeah, Marvel needs to stop making those crap "Heroes United" CG movies and make something to compete with DC on the animated front - Miguel would be a great start, as would the entire 2099 universe.

    This is advice they should follow regarding their games too - stop rushing out poorly made money grabs for kids, and start crafting the masterpieces that their superheroes deserve.

    Yah I would rather see Miguel get a movie before Miles. My first ever comic book was Spider-Man 2099 #1, so he's always been one of my favorite characters (best Spider suit in comics).

    @animehunter: I don´t like Mateus Ward as Peter, I haven´t seen his acting, but based on looks, he looks nothing like Peter. Just get Dylan, he would be great as Peter.
