Martin Sheen Lands 'Spider-Man' Role And Sally Field May Be Next - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-04-2010, 09:28 PM

Martin Sheen is joining the Marc Webb-directed 3D Spider-Man movie, playing the role of Uncle Ben. He joins Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans, who were set earlier in the Sony Pictures Entertainment film that begins production in December. Meanwhile, Sally Field is in early talks to join the film as Aunt May. Uncle Ben, who raised Peter Parker along with May, doesn't last long. That's no surprise to fans of the comic or the original film series, who watched Uncle Ben get killed by a thief whom Parker could have stopped with his new-found superpowers, but let escape. Sheen has a longer run in The Way, the crowd-pleasing film directed by his son Emilio Estevez that made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival and is still in the process of being set up for distribution.

Why on Earth are they doing this reboot already? Didn't we just see this same story like 9 years ago? And as far as the casting goes, Sally Field looks NOTHING like Aunt May. I know she is really in her 60's but she sure doesn't look like the gray haired, thin and fragile elderly lady that was Peter's aunt.

I am SO not interested in this movie.

Those Uncle Ben scenes better be flashbacks, because doing another origin Spider-Man story is a ridiculous idea.

Seriously, we are expected to watch 30 - 40 minutes of how Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man before the story gets going?

BORING!

The entire reboot is a ridiculous idea IMHO.
