'Spider-Man' Can Offer What Marvel Is Lacking

Kelvin Chavez of Latino Review scooped the Internet yesterday with a big news dump alleging copious information about the upcoming Walt Disney/Sony reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. The general idea is that it will be a fresh start, sans origin, written and directed by Drew Goddard of Cabin in the Woods fame. Also, and a cautionary SPOILER ALERT if the rest of this short paragraph turns out to be true, the film will tangentially involve Spidey battling Iron Man as a kind of "test" to join the Avengers, which may mean that Robert Downey Jr.’s big Thursday announcement just got scooped. Oh and the Sinister Six will basically be formed by the end of the picture and they may or may not be spun off in some capacity. So presuming this is all true, The Spectacular Spider-Man (alleged title) can bring to the Marvel movie universe that is truly of value. I am speaking of colorful villainy.
