No Origin Story For Spider-Man


Redundant though it may seem, but with two origin stories already printed in film, Spider-Man fans were starting to wonder if they would be seeing yet another one come July 28, 2017 when the Sony/Marvel reboot of the character hits theaters. No, say the project screenwriters, Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley.

While at the premiere of Vacation, the writing duo was asked about differences between their take on the Web-Head and the previous two franchises.

"The main difference I think is the tone will be really grounded, about a real kid who gets these powers and what that means to a geeky, outcast kid and how he deals with them," Goldenstein told USA Today. "You don't instantly become a superhero, it's a long journey." Daley added, "It's spending a lot more time in the high school. And so we have time to sort of develop the powers with him and experience the wish fulfillment. And also just the fact that it is really alienating to other people."

Daley then not only confirmed that the upcoming reboot will not waste time probing into the Webcrawler's origins, but will stay away from some of the previous franchises (Sam Raimi) less memorable moments.  

"I don't think the origin story is going to be in there and also I think we’re going to avoid the emo dance... as much as I love it," he said.

Finally, Goldstein and Daley revealed that they want to focus on the on the Peter Parker who is "self-conscious", not popular, and a "little geeky." Goldstein added that they "want to sort of tell that story, and the fact that getting powers and becoming Spider-Man doesn't solve your problems," and Daley interjected saying, "because he has to keep it a secret from everyone, so it just makes everything worse for him."
