"Spidey" getting a new look



The film, set to release in 2012, will take place during the high school years, and will no longer be played by the well liked Toby Maguire. He has played the role of the web-slinger for the past three films. Maguire discusses his roles in the first three films, "I am so proud of what we accomplished with the 'Spider-Man' franchise over the last decade," Maguire said in a statement Monday. "Beyond the films themselves, I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story." Another change will be the former directer, Sam Raimi will be replaced by a new director(still not named). When Raimi was asked about his time with the Spider-man franchise he says, "While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job." This revelation comes the billion dollar purchase of Marvel by Disney. Only time will tell if the "Mouse" will help or hinder the Marvel community.
