Howell Stuck in Spidey’s Web?

It is rumoured that C Thomas Howell has stated on his facebook account that he will be appearing in the Spider-man reboot. Who he will be is still a mystery. Who would you like him to be?

    I would rather they didn’t make it!
    ‘Reboots’ have always sat uneasy with me.. But this takes the biscuit! The last re-boot wasn’t that long ago!! I think their should be a new Hollywood rule, a reboot is only permitted the cast from previous reboot are at least 75% dead.

    I completely agree with you man. It’s just ridiculous. I mean, the new cast is really promising, they have two quite exciting young actors, but I can still remember watching the first Spiderman like it was yesterday. I really hate it when Hollywood take the piss but this is just a lazy attempt at making more money off the Spidey brand.

    I’d honestly prefer they binned the idea and use the cast for something else.

    This is it’s first reboot. I’m actually really excited about it. It has a great director and cast. The Raimi films Have good points but they are no where perfect. Venom was terrible. Sandman was desperately made to be more important then he is and also the entire mythos was destroyed in Spider-man 3.

    Also let’s take this from a comic book perspective. Although it is being said to be a reboot, it is rumoured to be based on ultimate spider-man whereas the original trilogy was more amazing spider-man. With this in mind, Marvel have two universes where they have a character called Peter Parker but they are both distinctly different.

    So I don’t see the problem with rebooting it. Also it could be rebooted at least one more time and still have a distinct flavour eg Spider-man 2099 or Spider-man noir
