Kevin Feige promises new adversary for Spidey to tangle with
No good superhero movie is complete without a good villain, and now that the latest Spider-Man movie has a star and a director, everyone is wondering which one of ol' web-head's many antagonists will step into the role. So far, we've seen versions of Green Goblin, Venom, Doc Ock, Sandman, The Lizard, Rhino and Electro on-screen, but a new take on the character really calls for a new villain.
Luckily for us, Marvel's Kevin Feige is on the same page. Speaking to Birth Movies Death, Feige revealed that the new movie wouldn't reuse any villains from the previous movies. Instead, the film's creators will reach into Spidey's extensive rogue's gallery and dust off a new threat for the wall crawler to face. Feige remained tight-lipped on the identity of the new super-baddie, but there are plenty of candidates to choose from, including Carnage, Mysterio, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter.
Aside from villains, the tone of the new film also came under discussion, with Feige likening it to the work of noted film-maker John Hughes. From what we're hearing, the movie will be significantly lower-key than some of Marvel's more recent outings, placing a greater focus on Peter Parker's struggle to balance his superheroic exploits with his everyday life, as opposed to the epic, world-ending action of films like Age of Ultron.
"What we wanted was a movie where the stakes could be as high as ‘This bad person is going to do this bad thing, and a lot of people could die’ OR ‘You don’t get home in time and your aunt is going to figure this out, and your whole life is going to change.’" said Feige. "Particularly at that age, in high school, everything feels like life or death. The tests feel like life or death. Coming home from being out with your friends seemed like life or death."
Finally, Feige was quizzed about the possibility of Spider-Man appearing in one of the studio's Netlifx series. According to him, there's no deal in place at the moment, but Marvel and Sony haven't completely ruled out the idea. Who knows? If the movie's successful, perhaps we'll finally get the small-screen Daredevil and Spidey team-up we'll all been waiting for.
