The Verge just posted a fantastic interview with Dan Slott, a man who has spent the past 20 years writing comics like “Batman” and “The Avengers”. He’s the current writer on Marvel Comics’ “The Amazing Spider-Man” and was completely surprised to hear that Spidey would be joining Marvel’s Cinematic Universe:

What were your thoughts around Spider-Man finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

I was completely side-swiped. I didn’t see it coming at all. I had so long been told about the politics of it, and had been told by the powers that be that it was never, ever, ever going to happen. So, I was gobsmacked.

Head on over to The Verge to read the full interview with Slott, where he talks about about Spider-Man, Peter Parker, and much more!
