LOS ANGELES, Aug 2: “Spider-Man” reboot writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein say they will not revisit the part when Peter Parker “got bit by a spider.”
The duo, whose directorial debut “Vacation” released recently, said they would skip the origin story in the upcoming film, reported Aceshowbiz.
“I think that everybody feels like you know he got bit by a spider and you know Uncle Ben died, and we probably don’t need to revisit that,” said Goldstein who co-wrote the 2011 black comedy “Horrible Bosses”.
Daley, known for playing high school freshman Sam Weir on the NBC comedy-drama “Freaks and Geeks” said the character of Peter Parker will be a departure from the previous movies in the franchise.
“I think it’ll be a fun departure from the Peter Parker you’ve seen, where now he is truly a kid and I think the stakes are increased in that his struggle through high school is very real and isn’t just a sort of side note; it matters now.”
Tom Holland, 19, has been signed on to play the titular role in the reboot.
“Spider-Man” is expected to be introduced in Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” which releases on May 6, 2016. (PTI)
