Marvel CCO says Peter Parker is crucial for Spider-Man movie reboot

on Marvel CCO says Peter Parker is crucial for Spider-Man movie reboot

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.

    well he is the CCO of Marvel but not of Marvel Studios. Kevin Feige is the big boss at Marvel Studios. If he wants Miles, then Miles it will be.

      Joe Quesada aka Joe Q aka the guy who saved Marvel from bankruptcy as the former editor in chief is very high up in the Marvel corporation. He definitely has a say in the movies. Hell, he’s responsible for Charlie Cox being casted as Daredevil. I think it would be a good idea to take his word for it

        He didn’t save Marvel from bankruptcy. Isaac Perlmutter and Avi Arad saved Marvel from bankruptcy in 1998.

          Perhaps I should elaborate on what I ment. Joe Q was responsible for the 3rd Marvel Boom. Not just in over all quality but in money. In 1998 Daredevil sales skyrocketed (coming from a character that wasn’t doing to good at the time, J Q and Kevin Smith wrote the awesome story Guardian Devil in 1998), Spiderman sales were through the roof, Hell even Black Panther was doing great. For 10 years Marvel was Booming (a big thanks to the movie industry as well). Although some may hate the guy for OMD I don’t hate him for one mistake. The guy has always made sure Daredevil, my favorite character, had phenomenal writers and artists so I am greatful to the guy.

            Yes but you need to realise that he’s not the same person he was before now since he has angered many fans with OMD, Civil War and several storylines. He has now become a controversial figure to comic book fans. OMD is still reviled by fans to this day and Quesada felt that the marriage of Peter and MJ really aged them and also JMS has practically disowned the storyline. He’s still hated because of this. You can praise him for his tenure as Daredevil writer but you can’t praise him for mistreating Marvel since the mid 2000s and even his successor as editor-in-chief Axel Alonso hasn’t done a great job either.

      Why must it be Miles? What about Mayday Parker, Miguel O’Hara? Simple, Peter Parker is Spiderman, the rest are just second fiddle.

    I’m actually pretty happy if its Peter Parker. I like Miles too but not as much. When I first read his story his character just wasn’t too interesting to me for some reason. Ultimate Spiderman with him in it I think was more appealing to me for the characters and situations around him than for Miles himself. Not that hes a bad character, just how I feel about it.

    If it is Peter, theres one thing I just really really want to see. And that is the relationship with Nick Fury that he had in the Ultimate Spiderman comic. I loved the scenes between them. It was really fun to see and would be awesome to see in live action with Samuel L Jackson.

    While I understand the perspective ‘some’ have of the fact weve already gotten 2 big screen Parkers in less than 2 decades as reason to not want to see another one… if it wasnt Peter Parker, I personally feel the magnitude of Marvel acquiring the useage of Spidey would have been exponentially diluted. Theres absolutely no reason Morales cant eventually spring onto the scene eventually. Especially if the overall cinematic universe continues to be interconnected… absolutely no reason other versions, not just Morales cant wventually be introduced into the fold. But to me, if you bring in any other Spidey into the fold than the original… then whatd be the point of the whole Sony/Marvel agreement. You know damn well many people who arent on the sites(and therefore dont know the agreement terms and such between Sony etc) and such would just assume Marvel copped out and COULDNT use Peter Parker… so they used some other version of him. Lol

    As long as they cast the right actor, I’m fine with it. I would prefer to see Miles, but I’m fine with it.

    What would be good. As spidey gonna be in civil war. And for those who have the read the comic. Spidey needs more of an intro to the mcu. This jumps right in and might not make the same impact as spidey did in the comic. So how to tackle it in film. I say keep whoever becomes spidey under the radar till the film it self (which actor becomes spidey) and if written well he then could make the inpact we need for the film to be great and give spidey that clean state.
