Don’t die Uncle Ben! We have already seen Uncle Ben get offed twice in this century, so are going to see it again in Jon Watt’s Spider-Man reboot? According to the director…nope. He recently talked to Empire Online and shined some light on Uncle Ben and Peter Parker’s age.
There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben. I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high-school movie. We’re really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He’s just 15 now.
Tom was pretty perfect. He’s very athletic. He can actually do a backflip! If he didn’t already capture the spirit of the character, with that on top the kid is Spider-Man.
