Comics Don't Care So It's "Reboot. Reboot. Reboot"! And Guess What? Same For The Movies.

Yep, WHY 'mend' something that "ain't broken"?  We are now heading for not a third new Spider-Man but a fourth.

Ridiculous but it's the money that speaks and with Spider-Man now set to appear in -allegedly- all up-coming Marvel Movie Universe movies, Sony have decided to start Spider-Man off again...but,Sony might not even have a "Peter Parker" in the Spidey suit.

New Spider-Man Is Going Back to High School

Amazing Spider-Man
Spider-Man had better get ready for pop quizzes - Sony wants to send the character back to high school in the franchise's next films.

Variety reports that Sony is looking for a younger actor to replace Andrew Garfield, who would debut in an upcoming Marvel movie (likely "Captain America: Civil War"). A couple of names floating around are "Maze Runner" actor Dylan O'Brien and "Percy Jackson" star Logan Lerman.

First, Sony has to find a new director to replace Marc Webb before holding auditions. And they have yet to decide on whether Spider-Man should be Peter Parker or another character in the suit. But high school will definitely be a major setting in Spidey's standalone films, which would "explore his awkward relationship with other students while fighting crime out of the classroom."

Before a solo Spider-Man movie, however, he'll probably appear in "Captain America: Civil War," set for a 2016 release. In the comic books, the storyline pits Captain America against Iron Man, and Spider-Man is a pivotal part of their battle.
