Avi Arad Comments On The Inclusion Of Spider-Man In THE AVENGERS

BRING IT!!!!!!
Imagine that.. It will break the avengers record and probly move past titanic and avatar with josh still directing.. But dont get hopes up

First it was impossible, now its a probability, com'on Arad make up your freaking mind already, but, yea.. they really need to hackit out with marvel to make Spidey joining the Avengers a reality. And whats that last bit about "and usually in the comics we do team-ups, even DC." What could that mean... let the speculation begin!

I'd die of geek overload if this happens

Unfortunately, if they bring Spidey to the Avengers, he'll be played by Nicolas Cage. He'll also be wearing the bear suit from the Wicker Man.

Lord Loki has spoken

they just need the fantastic 4 and we can have Civil War!!!!

This would be every person, geek, child on the planet watching this:

Him and Tony together would blow the roof with all the science wizzing and the hilarity

Im torn between the fact that spiderman is the only other marvel character id care to see join the team really, spidey swinging round would be amazing, but i dont think it would work creatively with this spiderman as hes more grounded. Hey heres an idea give the raimi fan boys what they want do a multiverse thing and bring back macguire for it, im sure no one would complain.

@ELgUaSoN Haha nice!! XD

Two Words: CIVIL WAR.

I seriously hope they stay away from the Civil War storyline all together considering all the characters arent set up in the universe

But if the Avengers and Spider-Man were to co-exist, why would Captain Stacy be so opposed to Spidey if a group of vigilantes (Avengers) saved the world and New York City? Unless if they were to make this take place before the Avengers, it still doesn't work because Spider-Man wasn't there to help them when the Chitauri invaded.

Forget the dumb jail cell scene, the best possible after credits scene would've been if Nick Fury had knocked on Peter's door and said "PACK YOUR BAGS, KID."
Bam. Mind. Exploded.

I dont think Spider-Man should be in the Avengers. Dont get me wrong, I want the current Spider-Man in the MCU (plus it would validate the reason for a reboot. I was one of those who wanted a Spidey 4 with a new director, writers and cast but a MCU set Spider-Man would make me happy its a reboot) i.e. there can be references in Spider-Man to the Avengers (be it background references or proper cameos) and vice-versa

but I have always preferred Spidey as a loner in his younger years, I only thought it was fitting he joined the New Avengers because he had gone from being an inexperienced young teenage crimefighter to a fully developed man who had gone through so much in his life, he was fit to become a member of the Avengers

have it reflect the history of Spider-Man in the comics, he wasnt a main member of the Avengers until much later in his life. And I dont want to see an adult Spidey until a least a second trilogy of Amazing Spider-Man

And when it comes to setting The Amazing Spider-Man in the MCU, I always thought, if the Avengers is set in May 2012, then Amazing Spider-Man could be set in 2014 while the Amazing Spider-Man 2 (which probably be released in 2014) is set six months later. In this way, it gives New York two years to clean up after the Chitauri invasion

I compare the MCU New York to the real world New York. Two years after the Sept 11 attacks, people still had the attacks in their mind but it wasnt constantly being referenced by everyone so in the MCU, the Chitauri invasion could be similar to this. But to avoid continuity [frick]ups, its best all future MCU movies should be set in other cities in America. I think New York should be left alone while the Amazing Spider-Man movies are made to avoid confusion

Plus it would be great to get some variety in locations, we already had Iron Man 2, the Incredible Hulk & the Avengers in New York

In the Ultimate universe Fury comes to Peter and tells him that when he is older he can join the team but not till he has more exp.
I think this is the way they should do it in the movies just have Fury show up tell Peter how things are going to be and then leave him alone to finish his trilogy then have him join the team.
Maybe he can have a cameo in someones movie to help out or something or in the Avengers 2 when Thanos shows up have peter stop in to help but Fury tells him to go home because he's not ready to play with the big boys yet.
I think the best way to probably to have Fury/Shield in a Spidey movie would be to do the Ultimate six story line for the third Spidey film. the Avengers helped out a lot during that story and it would be a good way to do a team up without putting him on the A team.
