My Live Action Spider-Man Film
by jln_crashingcars | created - 05 Apr 2016 | updated - 19 Jul 2017 | PublicWith the news that the Spider-Man franchise will be rebooted for the second time. I am once again disappointed with the direction they're taking. I've already grown tired of seeing the same plot of Peter Parker as a teenager in high school/college again and again. I wish for once that there would be a "Spider-Man" film that showed us an adult Peter Parker fighting new villains, possibly married to Mary-Jane, and dealing with other life issues. I know this will never happen, but this is my dream film.
