Something else that’s interesting to note about this situation is that the contract that outlines the specific requirements for the character of Spider-Man went into effect on September 2011, just a little after a black-latino Spider-Man was introduced into the comic book world. It’s not clear if the two were related in any way, but it is a peculiar coincidence.
Who’s going to play Spider-Man in the new movie once it’s released? That question is getting more and more difficult to answer, as the possibilities are piling up, while conflicting information is coming from different angles as well.
It’s pretty clear that there are lots of things we don’t know about the casting process that’s going on behind the scenes, and the whole secrecy surrounding the production of the new film doesn’t help either. It was recently revealed that the casting choice was trimmed down to just two actors, but it’s still not clear what the final result is going to be, and how the future of the franchise is going to be shaped in light of those e-mails with Spider-Man’s ideal specifications.
