My Take on a Sequel Trilogy to Sam Raimi's Legendary and Epic "Spider-Man" Trilogy. Set over Ten Years since Spider-Man 3 the New Trilogy tells the tale of the young Miles Morales, who becomes Spider-Man!
SPIDER-MAN 4
It has Been Ten Years since
Spider-Man has last been seen – Many believe he perished in a fight to the death
with Supervillain: The Hobgoblin. Peter Parker survived the battle but lost his
leg, saving Roderick Kingsley, who went insane because of the Goblin Formula.
Since the incident, the two have become close friends and Peter now works as a Teacher
at New York’s Midtown Science Academy, which includes students from all five boroughs.
On a
field trip one of Peter’s students, Miles Morales, is bit by a genetically enhanced
Spider, leading Peter to mentor the gifted Student and helping him find his
place and make the choice between a Normal Life and Ultimate Responsibility.
Meanwhile F.E.A.S.T. Owner/Operator and Philanthropist Martin Li, father to
Miles’ Best Friend, is running a Human Trafficking ring out of China, gaining
the attention of Miles’ father – Officer Jefferson Davis – and Miles himself.
Now New York needs a Hero once again, as it is time for Spider-Man to Return.
SPIDER-MAN 5
It has
been a year since Miles’ mother died during his battle with Mister Negative and
his life is now putting itself together. He begins enjoying life as Spider-Man
as his family is pulling itself together following tragedy. His Uncle Aaron
returns to New York, attempting to rebuild his relationship with Miles and
Jefferson. As Spider-Man, Miles encounters a new Supervillain known as the Prowler,
a noted cat-burglar now working in espionage.
Meanwhile
Peter’s second life, working at the Daily Bugle, is shaken up as J. Jonah Jameson’s
brother comes to New York Running for Mayor, forcing Jonah – out of spite – to run
for Mayor, while promoting Peter to Part Time Editor-In-Chief, along long time
Daily Bugle Reporter, Randy Robertson, Son of Joseph Robertson. This leads
Peter to investigate the Mayoral Campaign and leads to a startling revelation that
shakes Miles’ world.
SPIDER-MAN 6
Following
the Death of the Prowler, Miles has retired from being Spider-Man, while Peter
has taken a sabbatical from teaching to run the Daily Bugle. As Miles tries to
move on with his life, he finds himself the target of a sinister new force, as
he is constantly attacked in public without his Spider-Sense going off.
Meanwhile Peter begins finding notes and threats being sent to his office at
the Bugle as well as his Home and to Mary Jane, taunting Peter to “Bring HIM
Back.”
During
this time Miles is reunited with his best friend Ganke, but all is not it seems
as Ganke begins acting odd as well as starts to display abilities both reminiscent
of the Goblin and Spider-Man – he is reborn as Tarantula. All this Forces Miles
to return as Spider-Man, leading to the discovery that Roderick Kingsley has once
again taken the mantle of the Hobgoblin and kidnaps Miles, seeking to drive
Peter Parker out of retirement and culminate in a Final Battle between the
Spider-Men, The Hobgoblin, and The Tarantula.
SPOILERS
-
The Villains would be: Martin Li/Mister
Negative, Blackie Drago/The Vulture – Spider-Man 4, Aaron
Davis/The Prowler, Blackie Drago, and Joshua Jameson – Spider-Man 5,
Roderick Kingsley/The Hobgoblin, Ganke Lee/Tarantula, Dr. Miles Warren – Spider-Man
6.
-
The trilogy opens and closes with the
image of Peter Parker being trapped under rubble from fighting the Hobgoblin
and would see the Death of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man at the end of Spider-Man
6.
-
Peter would have already fought the Lizard
and rehabilitated Dr. Connors, this lead to Connors discovering Peter was
actually Spider-Man and causing Connors to willingly help Peter whenever he
can.
-
Peter’s retirement from Spider-Man would
be due to the loss of his leg, just as it was in the Marvel Comics Line “MU2.”
We would only see him actively as Spider-Man in Spider-Man 6,
where, as a final taunt, Series Villain Roderick Kingsley/The Hobgoblin would
leave Peter a pristine Spider-Man Costume as well as A robotic Leg – Hobgoblin
insisting that he want’s Peter as close to the top of his game as possible.
-
Roderick Kingsley will have spent a decade
hiding the fact that his Goblin persona wasn’t a split personality. He was able
to use the excuse of “Split Personality” once to save his life when a building
toppled on top of him and Peter. He was able to convince Peter into hiding his
identity by going to therapy and having Peter act as a “Sponsor.”
-
Ganke is Martin Li’s adopted son, the rift
from Li’s death at the End of Spider-Man 4 would set up a hatred
Ganke holds over Miles, this trilogy’s version of the Harry/Peter feud.
-
The End of Each Film would follow a
similar pattern as the Original Trilogy: Spider-Man 4 and 6
Would end with Web Swinging sequences, and like Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man
5 wouldn’t end with a web swinging sequence – It would end with a
Funeral.
-
Spider-Man 5
ends with Miles giving the costume back to Peter after having Lost so much –
Due to suffering the deaths of both his Mother and his Uncle, and being broken
up with by his Girlfriend Barbara Rodriguez – in less than a year.
-
Spider-Man 6
would be about Roderick and Ganke taunting Peter and Miles to step back into
the role for a battle to the death. Ganke’s attacks would be like Venom’s
attacks in Spider-Man #300 – Where he encounters him in public
and pushes him around without being scene.
-
Miles and Barbara would get back together,
she having broken up with him for being overtly secretive – Miles would finally
reveal he’s Spider-Man in the 6th film, prompting her to trust him and
continuing the relationship, giving Miles a happy ending.
-
Jefferson Davis would discover that Miles
is Spider-Man due to Ganke telling him – Causing Miles to go on the run while
Jefferson struggles with his Anti-Spider-Man stance and whether to turn his son
into the police.
-
Dr. Miles Warren would inject Ganke with
the Goblin serum and an experimental dose of Spider-Venom to give him the
abilities of Both Spider-Man and The Hobgoblin – Making him more powerful than
both, although Warren’s serum would allow for the Hobgoblin to take control
over Ganke.
-
Drago would appear as a secondary
antagonist, Aaron Davis owed Drago a debt, leading to Drago have Prowler hunt
and kill Spider-Man – Which changes the Prowler’s goals from getting dirt on
Jameson’s rivals.
-
The climactic battle in Spider-Man 5
revolves around Spider-Man, Prowler, and Vulture. Prowler would get himself
killed saving Miles’ life.
-
Kingsley would visit Dr. Connors in Spider-Man
6, using a serum developed Miles Warren to turn him back into the Lizard,
forcing Peter to unearth his old copies of the neutralizer to turn the Lizard
back into Dr. Connors.
-
Roderick Kingsley would be a puppet
Master. The current head of Oscorp who used his resources to give Mister
Negative his powers to have a control over organized crime, Shadow Bankrolling
Joshua Jameson’s Mayoral Campaign on the condition he runs an Anti-Spider-Man
platform, Hiring Aaron Davis to work under Jameson, Pulling his resources and
attacking the Spider-Men to kill both of them.
-
Peter dies during his battle with the
Hobgoblin in Spider-Man 6 – He, Goblin, Miles, and Ganke would be
trapped under rubble as a building is collapsing from the fight, Goblin would
get crippled from debris and activate a Pumpkin Bomb that would kill the four
of them – Peter would push up enough rubble for Miles to get himself and Ganke
out, The Peter would pull a structural beam to collapse the building and muffle
the explosion – causing his and Hobgoblin’s death in the process.
FILM CREW
Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables
and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is
concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues
(like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget and
does not work on set.
Kevin
Feige [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, X-Men, The Marvel Cinematic
Universe]: There’s no doubt that Spider-Man is the Marvel character nearest
and dearest to Kevin’s heart. With Marvel heading to a more Inclusive direction,
this trilogy would allow the MCU to keep Peter as their active Spider-Man and
move towards a more inclusive film trilogy that introduces Miles as a headlining
character in a live action medium.

Avi
Arad [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, The Amazing Spider-Man
{Duology}, Venom]: Avi Arad has a tyrannical grip around Spider-Man. He’s
an integral part of Spider-Man being on-screen but putting him in a more reduced
role could help the more creative forces behind the movie in full gear.

Amy
Pascal [Notable Works: Spider-Man Homecoming, Venom, Spider-Man Into the
Spider-Verse]: While she isn’t the best thing to happen to Spider-Man she’s
been very integral in the revamping of his image, working with Marvel to get
the MCU Deal while producing Into the Spider-Verse. Putting her in a Executive
Producer position allows her to do what she does best in a capacity that allows
the filmmakers to dive into production comfortably.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise
the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film
distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet
either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Grant
Curtis [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Drag Me To Hell, Oz The
Great and Powerful]: He’s worked with Raimi on the trilogy and has really
put his heart in it. He’s worked closely with Raimi on his last few directed
projects. He’s a key figure in being able to revisit the Raimi-Verse.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise
the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a
film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent,
yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting
personnel.
Rob
Tapert [Notable Works: The Evil Dead {Franchise}, The Gift, Don’t
Breathe]: A talented Producer and longtime friend of Sam Raimi. He is a
voice that would be integral in getting back into the Raimi-Verse and helping
it feel legitimate.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise
the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a
film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent,
yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting
personnel.
Sam
Raimi [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Drag Me To Hell, Evil Dead {2013},
Don’t Breathe]: This is his universe. His love of Spider-Man is
Legendary, and in going back to his Spider-Man, it would be a requirement to
keep him in a Producer role. This would allow him some closure in getting
Spider-Man 4 off the ground, keeping the integrity of the characters and allow
Raimi to work comfortably. This would be Raimi’s opportunity to grandfather in
a new era of Spider-Man films that allows his work to really continue and
evolve in a way that it isn’t able to as a trilogy.
Cinematographer: A cinematographer (usually credited
with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and
lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and
technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field
is referred to as cinematography.
Bill
Pope [Notable Works: Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 , Shang
Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings {Forthcoming}]: Familiar with
Spider-Man and Marvel, Pope is a legendary cinematographer. He’s one of few who
have such a command over his part in filmmaking that he stands out as an active
name among the lesser-involved movie buffs. Bringing him back for a new
Spider-Man trilogy set in Raimi’s world would be needed.
Production Designer: A production designer or P.D is
the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV
programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one
of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television.
Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings
and style to visually tell the story.
Neil
Spisak [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles {2014}, Terminator Genisys]: His work is wonderful. He’s got
an eye for New York unlike any Production designer. He’s given such innocuous
areas such character detail and meaning. Absolutely one of the best Production
Designers of all time.
Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who
designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume
designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and
color, etc. The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting
designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer
may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In
European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually
designs both costume and scenic elements.
James
Acheson [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Daredevil, Man of Steel]:
He designed Spider-Man’s first theatrical suit and it was a home run. His
design for Daredevil was amazing and for Man of Steel he really elevated expectations
and brought a sense of realism to it. He has given some of the best and most
iconic looks in Superhero films.
Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative
post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from
the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves
the use of digital technology.
Bob
Murawski [Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, The Hurt Locker, Oz
The Great and Powerful]: He’s a wonderful editor who understands how to cut
action, drama, humor, and excitement in powerful, interesting, and dynamic
sequences. He’s a good part of why Raimi’s Spider-Man films stand out among
modern superhero movies.
Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film
music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically
to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also
usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of
orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin
and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic
narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Christopher
Young [Notable Works: Spider-Man 3, Drag Me To Hell, Pet Sematary]: As
controversial as it might be, I’ll say that his work on Spider-Man 3 rivals Danny
Elfman’s work on Spider-Man 2. Young not only appropriately adapted Elfman’s
work where required but brought new melodies and themes that were extraordinary
as well as completely intune and inline with the tone Elfman set in the first
two films. I think he would be able to bring something unique to a newer line of
films and still maintain that classic approach to Spider-Man’s music that
Elfman developed.
Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work
by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These
screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of
writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the
characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a
teleplay.
David
Koepp [Notable Works: Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, You Should Have Left]:
Koepp’s scripts for Spider-Man hit a specific mark. It was a perfect story
adaptation. He not only understood the character but the heart of the material.
He’s a wonderful screenwriter and there’s no doubt he could come back and do a
lot of the things he wanted to spiritually with a new Spider-Man in a familiar
playground.
Director: A film director is a person who directs the
making of a film. Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and
dramatic aspects and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and
actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in
choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of
filmmaking.
Tim
Story [Notable Works: Fantastic Four {Duology}, Shaft, Tom and Jerry
{Forthcoming}]: An underrated director. Story has built his career on doing fun
and enjoyable family friendly movies. He’s a director who’s really able to
harness the heart of his characters. His Fantastic Four films are enjoyable
family films. He’s a director who could bring a level of enthusiasm and
admiration for Miles Morales that rivals Raimi’s for Peter Parker.
RETURNING CHARACTERS
Peter Parker/Spider-Man [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: Mid-30’s]:
The original, amazing Spider-Man. It’s been ten years since he’s suited up as
the friendly neighborhood wall crawler, having lost his leg in a battle with
the Hobgoblin. Since then Peter has had to step away from great responsibility
as Spider-Man and has instead become a High School Science Teacher, while
moonlighting as a reporter for the Daily Bugle. He finds promise in Miles and
takes to mentoring him, teaching him to be his own Spider-Man.
Tobey
Maguire [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 45, Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy},
The Great Gatsby, Brothers]: Despite his flaws as a person Tobey is a
fantastic actor, his role as Spider-Man propelled him to stardom and remains a
very popular run. He’s a strong actor and certainly fitting of the role. He has
grown as an actor and it would be interesting to see what he could bring to the
role now.
Mary Jane Watson [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: Mid-30’s]: Wife
to Peter Parker and an actress working on a popular television series. She
worries about Peter, seeing him suffer due to his inability to be Spider-Man.
She stands as a figure of support for Peter, helping him and encouraging him mentoring
Miles.
Kirsten Dunst [Height: 5’
7”, Age: 38, Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Marie Antoinette,
Fargo {Season 2}]: A gifted actress, who I felt was underrated. I’ve enjoyed
her post-Spider-Man work just as much as I’ve enjoyed her in Spider-Man. She’s
a key part of what Sam Raimi’s vision and it makes her a necessary component in
going back to that vision, even with the new story this trilogy is telling.
J Jonah Jameson [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 65]: Owner, Publisher,
and Editor-In-Chief of the Daily Bugle. Guilt ridden over Peter’s missing leg
(believing his order for Parker to get the pictures resulted in him being in
the accident) he finds a fire again when a New Spider-Man arrives on scene.
J.K.
Simmons [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 65, Notable Works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Whiplash,
Spider-Man Far From Home]: He is J. Jonah Jameson and going back to the
Raimi-verse wouldn’t be right unless you went back with J. Jonah Jameson as
part of the world.
Theodore Hoffman [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 54]: The Bugle’s
head of marketing and the loyal “Yes Man” to Jonah.
Ted Raimi [Height: 6’ 0”,
Age: 54, Notable works: Spider-Man {Trilogy}, My Name is Bruce, Ash
vs the Evil Dead]: Ted’s a fun actor and
his work is always entertaining. He would be a welcome face to see in
another Spider-Man movie.
Dr. Curt Connors [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 60’s]: A
physicist and professor at Columbia University, Connors lost his arm in a car
wreck after having graduated college. He’s since learned of Peter’s identity
and is a staunch supporter of Spider-Man. He is one of few who can understand
Peter’s yearning for his missing limb.
Dylan
Baker [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 60, Notable Works: Along Came a Spider,
Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3]: Dylan Baker was wonderful in his appearances.
He’s a wonderful actor and it’s a true shame he never got his due as The Lizard.
Seeing him come back would help this already rich world feel more populated and
real.
Gwen Stacy-Li [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 35]: Columbia
University Graduate and Co-Operator of F.E.A.S.T. and Wife of Martin Li. She’s found
her place working with the homeless and living Spider-Man’s example to help
make the world a better place. With Martin, she adopted Ganke Lee, a child from
Korea who’s real mother was killed when brought to the country.
Bryce Dallas Howard
[Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 39, Notable Works: Spider-Man 3, Jurassic World,
Rocketman]: This was a role that really let Howard have some fun. Bringing
her back would really help build the world and give fans an interesting peak as
to what did happen to the character. She would be perfect as an “Aunt May” to
Ganke’s character and help him through his struggles throughout the trilogy.
TRILOGY CHARACTERS
Miles Morales/Spider-Man [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 17]: A Midtown
High Student from Brooklyn. Bit by a genetically altered Spider, Miles goes through
a personal crisis until he discovers that his science teacher: Mr. Parker is
the original Spider-Man. He tries to understand his place in the world, as he
decides whether or not it’s his place to become Spider-Man.
Dante
Brown [Height: 5’ 7”, Age: 20, Notable Works: Mockingbird Lane, Lethal
Weapon {T.V. Series}, Ma]: A
strong young actor who definitely has the youthful energy expected for Miles.
He’s got the right tone, presence of character, command of drama, and comedic
timing that it would take to play Miles. He’s got a certain spirit that allows
him to really embody the role and stand out. He’s a relatively unknown choice compared
to the more popular choices for Miles, but there’s no doubt he would stick to
the role in the same way that Tobey stuck to Spider-Man. No doubt a perfect
choice for the role.
Barbara Rodriguez [Height: N/A, Age: 17]: A High
School student studying to be a nurse. She job-shadows under Mile’s mother Rio.
She develops a crush on Miles after seeing him stand up to Kenny “Kong.”
Jenna
Ortega [Height: 5’ 1”, Age: 18, Notable Works: Iron Man 3, Jane the Virgin, You]:
Through her energy and charisma alone, she’s a perfect choice for Barbara. She’s
got the “girl-next-door” quality with a bit of an edge that would allow her to
make her character stand out, especially from being compared to Dunst’s Mary
Jane. She’s got the look and the right presence to play the character and make
her someone absolutely unique but every-bit as easy for fans to love as a
character that Miles does.
Ganke Lee/Tarantula [Height: N/A, Age: 17]: A confused
kid who developed a serious case of hero-worship as a child, having seen the original
Spider-Man fight the Sandman. This changes after his father dies and he goes
through an arc of depression, unable to come to terms with his father doing
illegal things, Ganke becomes violent and begins his own campaign to take down
his former best friend, Allowing Hobgoblin to experiment on him. He finally
accepts the truth allowing Miles to save him, in a way Peter was unable to save
Harry at the end.
Major
Curda [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 21, Notable Works: Godlike, Atypical, Riverdale]:
A young actor who’s made an impact on the show Riverdale, Curda has stood out as
a strong actor giving some dimension to a character that in other hands would have
been stale. He’s got the appropriate presence for this version of Ganke and would
be able to really convey and dive into the conflict the character is going
through in the trilogy, capping off with a very serious transformation as an
individual and make an impact in a way Harry’s New Goblin was unable to.
Jefferson Davis [Height: N/A, Age: 40’s]: A Father,
Husband, and NYPD Officer. He’s a good cop and after the death of Rio becomes
attached and worried about Miles. His fear causes him to maintain an Anti-Spider-Man
stance. He is forced to come to terms and work with his son as he learns that
Miles is Spider-Man.
Isaiah
Mustafa [Height: 6’ 4”, Age: 46, Notable Works: The Clinic, Shadowhunters,
IT: Chapter Two]: Isaiah is a wonderful actor and after seeing him
breakaway from his more comedic work into serious and emotionally charged roles,
he became the only choice for Jefferson. He has a likability to him but a heart
and sensitivity that makes his characters approachable in a parental sense.
There’s no doubt he could take the role and emotional turmoil behind it and
deliver something iconic in the way of Glenn Ford’s Pa Kent, with just as much
tragedy.
Gloria Grant [Height: 5’ 8”, Age: 50’s]: A senior
Bugle employee, who replaced Betty Brant as Jameson’s secretary after she
married reporter Ned Leeds and left New York for California. She’s much more critical
of Jonah’s bias, happy to keep him in check after his decade long slump while
Spider-Man was inactive. She, along with Peter, are the only people Jonah truly
lets in anymore.
Aisha
Tyler [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 49, Notable Works: Death Sentence, Archer, Criminal
Minds]: Few actresses have such a strong and dynamic command of both comedic
and serious performances the way Tyler does. She’s got a sense to her that
allows her to inject the right amount of each in her performances, making her
the perfect candidate for a role like Gloria Grant.
Randolph “Randy” Robertson [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 30’s]:
“Robbie” Robertson’s eldest son, Bugle Reporter, and Jonah’s godson, Randy
spent years in college getting his Journalism degree before joining the Bugle.
He has just as many diverse opinions from Jonah as his father did, leading
Jonah to keep him nearby.
Dayo
Okeniyi [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 32, Notable Works: The Hunger Games, Endless
Love, Terminator Genisys]: Dayo is a strong actor really coming into his
own, and while he hasn’t made waves in much of his more recent work he’s still
stood out as a fantastic actor and would certainly be able to match the energy
and nature of Bill Nunn’s performance as Robbie, while bringing a new dimension
to his character giving something wholly unique.
Captain Frank Quaid [Height: N/A, Age: 50’s]: NYPD Police
Captain and Jefferson’s superior officer.
Shemar
Moore [Height: 6’ 1”, Age: 50, Notable Works: Criminal Minds, The Bounce
Back, S.W.A.T.]: A decent actor who’s fit for the role. He has done a lot
of good work and would give a presence of a very detailed world in a role like
Quaid. He has garnered a following of fans in the general public and placing
him in this series would really help the world continue to stand out.
Principal Davis [Height: N/A, Age: 60’s]: Midtown High
Principal and close friend of Peter.
Bruce
Campbell [Height: 6’ 1”, Age: 62, Notable Works: The Evil Dead
{Franchise}, Spider-Man {Trilogy}, Burn Notice]: You can’t have a
Raimi-verse Spider-Man Movie without Bruce, but this is also a different
Director’s work and something of a change would be needed in that. Giving Bruce
a recurring role would be a fun change on the established cameo dynamic but
also having Bruce involved in a more meaningful way.
Blackie Drago/The Vulture [Height: 6’ 0”, Age 40’s]: A
dangerous international crime lord, who had stolen the tech behind both Goblin
Gliders, developing his own flight system – taking on the name “The Vulture.”
He has a grip on any and all organized crime in New York, even having control
of Prowler.
Sharlto
Copely [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 46, Notable Works: District 9, Elysium, Chappie]:
Sharlto is a hell of an actor and should have played a true comic book baddy by
now. He’s fun and dynamic in his work, he stands out as a unique force whenever
on screen and would be an absolute delight in a role like The Vulture.
Roderick Kingsley/The Hobgoblin [Height: 5’ 11”, Age: 50’s]:
Former Fashion Empire Mogul, who’s older sister was married to Norman Osborn.
He kept a dislike of his former brother-in-law, feeling he didn’t show Harry
anything to nurture the young Osborns potential. He harbors a special hatred for
Peter and Spider-Man for getting his Nephew killed. He took over controlling
shares of Oscorp, from Harry’s will leading for a massive overhaul in Oscorp. This
allowed Kingsley to secretly bring in his own scientist to rework the Goblin
formula – from then he took the name “Hobgoblin” and began a revenge campaign.
This led to him partnering with Blackie Drago as well as getting a controlling
factor in Organized Crime – enforced by Mister Negative. After his battle with Peter
ten years ago crippled the wall crawler and almost cost Roderick his life, he allowed
the Hobgoblin to lay dormant until a New Spider-Man arrived on scene – causing Kingsley
to revisit his revenge plans.
Aaron
Eckhart [Height: 5’ 11”, Age: 52, Notable Works: Thank You For Smoking, The
Dark Knight, Sully]: It’s easy to say I’m still impressed with his
performance as Two-Face in the Dark Knight. A hell of an actor who’s big break
didn’t last that long or go that far and that is tragic. He’s got a unique ability
to turn on a dime and change his character in radical ways. He has every bit
the energy and the charisma to pull of such a performance. No doubt he could
make the role every bit as iconic as Dafoe’s Goblin or Molina’s Doc Ock.
SPIDER-MAN 4 CHARACTERS
Rio Morales [Height: N/A, Age: 40’s]: Miles’ mother
and a Nurse at a Brooklyn based Hospital in New York. She is Miles’ emotional
rock, and even sacrifices herself to stop Mister Negative and save her son. Her
death turns her into Miles’ Uncle Ben, giving him a message to live for, through
the oath she took as a nurse.
Eva
Mendes [Height: 5’ 6”, Age: 46, Notable Works: Hitch, Ghost Rider, The Lost
River]: While she hasn’t appeared in film for years, she’s a parent and a
strong actress and I think the ability to be in a superhero movie made for all
ages would appeal to her, especially since it would be apart of one of the
biggest cinematic superhero franchises ever. She’s actually a lovely actress
and gives wonderful performances every time she’s seen. She has a warmth and a
motherly quality to her that would make her absolutely perfect for a role like
Rio Morales. You would be able to feel the same loss Miles does when he loses
her in the film and would be able to see why she inspires him. There’s no doubt
Eva is a perfect choice and despite it having been a while she’s a pitch perfect
choice for the role.
Kenny “Kong” MacFarlane [Height: 6’ 2”, Age: 18]: A
school bully insecure about his intelligence taking it out on the two kids he perceives
to be the smartest in school: Miles and Ganke.
Jake
Sims [Height: N/A, Age: 20, Notable Works: Raising Expectations, IT, IT Chapter
Two]: He’s essentially played this role in IT. He’s a decent fit for the
role and would look stunningly similar to the Brian Bagley art if he shaved his
head.
Frank Oliver/The Kangaroo [Height: 6’ 3”, Age: 40’s]:
A Bank Robber with enhanced physiology allowing him to leap long distances, and
the first criminal Miles encounters as Spider-Man.
Dustin
Clare [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 38, Notable Works: Spartacus {Series}, Pacific
Rim: Uprising, Doctor Doctor]: He’s a fun actor and is familiar working in
a Raimi-Produced Project. Seeing him step into a role like this would be a fun
treat for fans.
Martin Li/Mister Negative [Height: 5’ 11”, Age: 40’s]:
Chinatown crime Lord who masquerades as Martin Li, a loving entrepreneur who
operates F.E.A.S.T. a homeless educational center, helping the poverty-stricken
New Yorkers help themselves. Giving them resources and a home for them to start
putting their life back together. He is married to College Girlfriend Gwen
Stacy, and parent their adopted son Ganke Lee, the child of Korean immigrants
and best friend of the new Spider-Man. He requires a serum to help keep his
power in Check and as Mister Negative, he is a ruthless human trafficker,
exploiting Chinese citizens hoping to come to the United States. In his
Organized Criminal activities, he often partners with Blackie Drago.
John Cho
[Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 48, Notable Works: Gemini, Searching, Cowboy Bebop {Forthcoming}]:
This was a role that I just couldn’t help but see John in. He’s a stronger
actor then given credit for, he can do action and it would be fantastic to see him
in a villainous role. He’s got a certain tone about him that is perfect for a character
like Mister Negative and a lightness to him that makes him perfect for the more
loving Martin Li.
SPIDER-MAN 5 CHARACTERS
Joshua James Jameson [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 60’s]: Jonah’s
elder brother, running for Mayor of New York. He was the spoiled favorite in the
Jameson household. He harbors a sense of ignorance for why Jonah dislikes him
and has become a very overbearing and sparradic individual. (Image used is that
of Jay Jameson Sr.)
John
Malkovich [Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 66, Notable Works: Con Air, Being John Malkovich,
Space Force]: I would say that by far the biggest tragedy of the unmade Spider-Man
4 is not seeing Malkovich as the Vulture. Since we have seen a proper Adrian
Toomes Vulture, and the desire to see Malkovich in a fun and energetic Villain
role, the idea came to develop a Brother of Jonah who’s every bit as energetic
and odd as both Malkovich and Jameson. He would be an excellent match opposite
Simmon’s Jonah that it would make up for the missed opportunity years ago.
Aaron Davis/The Prowler [Height: N/A, Age: 40’s]: A burglar
who specializes in espionage, He is hired by Joshua Jameson to help dig up dirt
on any political adversaries as well as a body guard. His work is sidelined as
Blackie Drago returns to the states forcing Davis to hunt and Kill Spider-Man,
whom Davis is unaware is actually his nephew Miles.
Common
[Height: 6’ 0”, Age: 48, Notable Works: Wanted, John Wick Chapter 2, Hell on
Wheels]: Really Common was the only actor I could imagine in the role in a
live action sense. He’s proven to be a hell of an actor, with stunning work in Hell
on Wheels and a fun and energetic role in John Wick Chapter 2, he’s
done nothing but prove why he’s the perfect choice to bring the Prowler to the
big screen in a live action debut.
SPIDER-MAN 6 CHARACTERS
Miles Warren/The Jackal [Height: 5’ 10”, Age: 50’s]:
An Oscorp scientist employed directly by Roderick Kingsley. He had
re-engineered the performance enhancers to Roderick’s ideal specifications.
This leads him to develop a Spider-Venom formula that would give someone the same
abilities as Spider-Man, and even engineers a Lizard formula for Kingsley to
use to distract the Spider-Men. He’s every bit as cunning and conniving as his nickname
“The Jackal” suggest.
Aiden
Gillen [Height: 5’ 9”, Age: 52, Notable Works: Game of Thrones, The Dark
Knight Rises, Project Blue Book]: Who else is better to play a conniving
villain than the guy who played Petyr Baelish. Aiden is a hell of an actor and is
due for a prominent role in a comic book movie. He’s shown to be a talented
villain and would make a fantastic Jackal, even if he isn’t suiting up in the
proper uniform.
