    Some stuff posted in IGN yesterday and today...

    Originally posted by IT COST MARVEL ZERO DOLLARS TO GET SPIDER-MAN
    • Marvel isn't paying a dime to Sony for the rights to use Spidey. But the studio won’t receive a cut of the earnings for any of Sony’s Spider-Man films, and Sony won’t get a cut of the Marvel films that feature Spider-Man. (Marvel also controls the merchandising rights to Spidey.)
    • Disney/Marvel reportedly had previously offered Sony "billions" to buy back the character.
    • Marvel is instead essentially leasing the rights from Sony. Sony gets a (hopefully) revitalized Spider-Man thanks to Marvel, while Marvel gets to use one of their most iconic characters.
    • The new Spidey will first appear in a Marvel movie (reportedly Captain America: Civil War) before getting his own stand-alone film from Sony on July 28, 2017. MCU characters could also appear in the new Spider-Man films.
    • Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will not be compensated for producing Sony's 2017 Spider-Man film.
    • Sony will have final say over casting for the new Spider-Man, and is said to be looking for an actor much younger than Andrew Garfield, who is 31. Sony is looking to go back to "Spidey’s roots and put the character back in high school."
    • Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 director Marc Webb won't be back.
    • Amazing Spidey producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach have been bumped down to executive producers with "no real say" in the creative direction of the character moving forward. Arad was a key player with both Marvel and Spider-Man for many years, and was a sort of proto-Kevin Feige as Marvel became increasingly immersed in the world of film and TV beginning in the late 1990s.
    • One source claims this could be the first step towards a larger plan to reacquire Spider-Man by Marvel, while another speculates that Disney is angling to acquire Sony Pictures entirely if it goes on the market.
    • The Sony Spider-Man spin-offs, for the moment, are still in the works. This includes Sinister Six, Venom and the female Spidey characters film that we've previously heard about. The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is obviously dead, and "while Marvel’s Feige is involved with Sony’s new Spider-Man films, he currently is not expected to be creatively involved with the spinoffs."

    A few actors are already being considered to replace the Amazing Spider-Man series' Andrew Garfield, including Dylan O'Brien (The Maze Runner) and Logan Lerman (the Percy Jackson series, Fury). The studio has reportedly not yet reached out to them. A new director is also needed to replace The Amazing Spider-Man films' Marc Webb, and presumably this new helmer will participate in the casting of the film.

    The new Peter Parker will go back to "Spidey’s roots and put the character back in high school," and the web-slinging superhero will now "spend more time in the setting and explore his awkward relationship with other students while fighting crime out of the classroom."

      Don't really like either of those guys to play a high school Peter Parker at all... My pick for the character is the kid who had the lead in Boyhood. The guy they get needs to pull off the high school vibe and look. Neither of the two actors named can do that imo.

              Man, they really weren't kidding when they said Daredevil was going to go darker than the rest of the MCU. There's some real brutal and violent moments in this show so far.

              I will say this... With the tone of this show, there's no doubt in my mind that they could pull off a Punisher Marvel/Netflix series for the MCU.

                I like how they reference what happened in New York in the first Avengers movie.

                  The guy totally has the body language down. The blocking and shot composition in showing it off is great as well.

                        That fight scene at the end of the second episode is one of the greatest I've seen in awhile. And how it was all tricked to look like one continuous shot... So dope.

                            96% on rotten tomatoes, 9.4/10 on imdb, everyone you talk to about it loves it.

                              Marvel has set the bar really high this time with Daredevil on Netflix, it shows that they can put out a great product away from Disney and be more in line with the comics stories lines from when I was a kid and read Daredevil.
