Peter Parker Returns As A Young Teenager For Next Spider-Man Movie

Marvel Studio's Kevin Feige has confirmed that Peter Parker will return as a young Spider-Man for the next stand-alone movie as well as the characters appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was thought Marvel and Sony might decide to change things up with the next incarnation of Spider-Man on the big screen by making switching from Peter Parker to another version like the Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales.

Feige in a press junket for Avengers: Age Of Ultron stated that Peter Parker would remain Spider-Man in the movies and this time he would be around 15-16 years of age and in high school.

“We want to play with Spider-Man in the high school years because frankly there’ve been five Spider-Man films and the amazing thing about it is, even though there’ve been five Spider-Man films, there are so many things from the comics that haven’t been done yet. Not just characters or villains or supporting characters, but sides to his character. The most obvious being the ‘young, doesn’t quite fit in’ kid before his powers, and then the fella that puts on a mask and swings around and fights bad guys and doesn’t shut up, which is something we want to play with and we’re excited about.”

Still no word on what actor will be playing the Web-Crawler but that news should be coming soon. The next Spider-Man movie from Sony is slated to open July 28, 2017 while the character is also rumored to make his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in Captain America 3: Civil War which is slated to open in theaters on May 6, 2016.
