Marvel Studios Spider-Man scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein spoke candidly about their take on Peter Parker’s journey as Spider-Man in the MCU.
For those expecting to see a new take on Peter receiving his powers, don’t hold out hope. Instead the movie will focus on Peter Parker the geeky teen who just so happens to have superhero powers. This is what fans have asked for years and the MCU is content to get it right, via USA Today
“The tone will be really grounded, about a real kid who gets these powers and what that means with a geeky, outcast kid… as we were in high school,” said Goldstein.
“We have time to sort of develop the powers with him, and experience the wish fulfillment and also just the fact that it’s really alienating (to have Spidey skills),” added Daley.
