Did they ever consider that maybe people are actually tired of Spider-Man? He's been on TV or in theaters constantly for the last 60 years, retelling the exact same story, rehashing the same few "classic" runs of the comic. Maybe we're just generally tired of "genius loser with superstrength". Maybe we don't need another high school story. Maybe, just maybe, they should look at a genuinely new property rather than Disney dreck.
This isn't rebooting the Marvel universe Spider-Man movies. This is rebooting all the ones that specifically had zero Spider-Man despite being about his main enemies: Morbius, Kraven, Madame Web, and Venom.
What we need is a Clone Saga on the screen
Are there any sets of identical quadruplets who are all currently acting? Because it just wouldn't work with an overreliance on camera tricks and CGI.
Not quintuplets, but the Hemsworth brothers(?) Look pretty similar.
Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe, could each do a couple for subtle differences of clones and could make camera tricks easier. Both are good enough and odd enough to make it work.
