News from what I'd consider a reliable source: Marvel.com

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are proud to announce that after a full worldwide casting search, Tom Holland will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man film, in theaters in IMAX and 3D on July 28, 2017.  The film will be directed by Jon Watts, director of "Cop Car," the upcoming thriller that made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

His IMDb page: Tom Holland

He's 19 years old, and British.

Technically he's only the third, and Andrew Garfield was awful.

I saw something a short time ago claiming the kid from "Ender's Game" had the role, but it didn't seem legit.

Garfield was the only part of those movies that was worth watching... he was a great spider-man

Do we really need another Spiderman?  

yes... now that sony and marvel have worked out their deal and spidey will be a part of the MCU, this reboot actually makes sense

Can't agree.  Garfield was just as bad as those movies were.

 

I pretend Spider-man 1 & 2 exist.  Then there's like three other movies about a spider-like vigilante.  

Just to clarify, which "1 and 2" do you mean?

I'm gonna assume you mean the rebooted 1 and 2 because Sam Raimi's Spider Man 2 was one of the best superhero movies made (especially Al Molina's take on Doctor Octopus).

there were rumors going around a few months ago (around the time of the Sony hacks, I believe) that JK Simmons was being mentioned again for the JJJ role... he was absolutely too perfect for the role

I also read a while back that Sony was hoping to make this some kind of Sony multi-verse... since they still own Spider-Man and all the related rights and will still be making their own standalone films (just with Marvel input), they're going to look at the original trilogy as one universe, Garfield films as another and this new batch of films that are tied into the MCU into another

essentially, this would allow them to make films across several different universes/timelines and build off of the good from some and forget the bad from others.  who knows if that will really happen... it could have just been ideas being tossed around at Sony, but it's an interesting idea (and would allow them to also introduce Miles Morales and Miguel O'Hara, etc)

When I say 1 & 2, I'm talking about Raimi.  I pretend they're the only ones that were made haha.  The non-Spiderman 3 I'm referring to are S3 and TAS1&2.  Raimi's 2nd flick is the best of the bunch.

      Draft Grades

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
