Not much is known about the next (untitled) SPIDER-MAN except that actor Tom Holland is Peter Parker — who is confirmed to be 15-years-old in the MCU, Jon Watts is directing and it will be written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Oh... and it will have a John Hughes-like vibe to it.
In an interview with DenOfGeek, Watts may have given a clue as what the basis for the movie might be because of what Spidey comic books he's currently reading.
"Ultimate [Spider-Man] is great. I love Ultimate [Spider-Man]. We have the freedom to pull from anything, but I really like what [comic writer Brian Michael] Bendis did. A lot. That felt like… that was Peter Parker back in high school. And, spending as much time with his high school problems as it did with his superhero problems, which I think is really a lot of fun.
"There’s also some really funny comics stuff... I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane series, but they have this really great anime-style illustration, and it’s all just about Peter Parker’s relationships. It’s like the soap opera of Peter Parker in high school. Those are really funny, too.
"I’m just sitting around reading comic books all day — it’s a pretty great job."
The untitled SPIDER-MAN movie releases on July 28, 2017.
