Sony Says AUNT MAY Movie Without SPIDER-MAN Is A "Silly Rumor"
Put away your pitchforks and torches. Comic Book Resources reached out to Sony for a comment on Latino-Reviews' latest rumor, which said the studio was planning a movie based on a young Aunt May. Sony debunked it and called it a "silly rumor."
Late last night, Da7e Gonzales from Latino-Review surprised us when he reported that Sony was developing a movie "about Aunt May as a youth, before she was shouldered with the responsibility of raising Peter Parker." He claimed the film would be an "espionage story" akin to Marvel's Agent Carter. Most people did not react well to this rumor. Earlier today, Comic Book Resources reached out to Sony about the rumor and they debunked it.
When reached by CBR News, a source within Sony stated that the report of a Spider-Man spinoff starring a young Aunt May is a “silly rumor” with “no validity whatsoever.”
We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was directed by Marc Webb from a script written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner and James Vanderbilt. The film will star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Sally Field as Aunt May, Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Jamie Foxx is Electro and Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn.
