Possible Spider-Man Costume Details and Jon Watts Talks Reboot Comics Reference


Possible Spider-Man Costume Details and Jon… by filmjunkee

What is that Spider-Man costume going to look like? Well, little rumors have surfaced in the past few months, and we are most likely going to get two versions of the suit. One made by Peter Parker, and another that will be the Spidey suit we know. Some more rumors have come out that suggest that they will be looking at a more traditional reference for the new suit, and they will be looking at the 60’s comics Spider-Man. Retro. I like it.

Jon Watts also sat down with Den of Geek to talk about his Spider-Man movie. No pressure man.

Den Of Geek!: Obviously, your next job isn’t exactly a secret. You’ve been signed up by Marvel to work on the new Spider-Man with Tom Holland…

I was wondering, when they brought you in, did you just get involved with the Spidey reboot, or were they showing you where they were with Civil War and laying out all these big plans that they had for Peter Parker?

Jon Watts: Er, yeah. They’ve shot Civil War. That stuff’s done. But I’m here in the trenches now, every day, figuring it out.

DOG!: We’ve heard online that you’re going to bring Peter back to high school, and that we should to expect a John Hughes-y sort of vibe –

JW: Yeah!

DOG!: Have you been looking at any comics in particular to help shape that? Because, when I heard that, Ultimate Spider-Man was the first thing that sprung to mind…

JW: Oh, I love that. Ultimate is great. I love Ultimate. We have the freedom to pull from anything, but I really like what [Brian Michael] Bendis did. A lot. That felt like… that was Peter Parker back in high school. And, spending as much time with his high school problems as it did with his superhero problems, which I think is really a lot of fun.

There’s also some really funny comics stuff, like, the Archies. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane series, but they have this really great anime-style illustration, and it’s all just about Peter Parker’s relationships. It’s like the soap opera of Peter Parker in high school. Those are really funny, too.

I’m just sitting around reading comic books all day – it’s a pretty great job.
