MCU Spidey Details

Kevin Feige has confirmed that we will be getting a teenage Peter Parker as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressing his desire of exploring a younger superhero.

“In terms of the age of an actor we’ll eventually cast, I don’t know,” Feige admits. “In terms of the age of what we believe Peter Parker is, I’d say 15-16 is right. Some of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he’s in high school for a lot of it. We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the MCU, which is something else we want to explore: how unique he is when now put against all these other characters.”

He has also responded to the question all the fans are wondering. Will we have to sit through another origin story? No!

“There is a young kid [already] running around New York City in a homemade version of the Spider-Man costume in the MCU,” says Feige. “You just don’t know it yet… In Spider-Man’s very specific case, where there have been two retellings of that origin in the last whatever it’s been – [thirteen] years – for us we are going to take it for granted that people know that, and the specifics.”

The announcement of Spidey’s casting is yet to come, however he has revealed that the costume is already done.

“We’ve already designed the costume,” Feige teases, “which is different than any of the ones that have come before. And yet ours is classic Spidey, as I think you’ll see.”
