MTV recently spoke with Marc Webb at the Golden Globe Awards and posed the question if he was indeed a Spidey fan.
"Of course," he commented.
"Stan Lee, big fan ... love the 'Ultimate [Spider-Man]' stuff. How could you not be a fan of Peter Parker and Spider-Man?."
When asked if his
500 Days of Summer Star star would will make a good Spider-man, Webb said:
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt would make a good Meryl Streep — he can do anything," with a laugh.
All he had to add when asked if we should expect an announcement regarding his next project any time was,
"I hope so!"
Update: MTV later caught up with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt to find out if there was a real connection between him and the new
Spider-Man film.
"You and your movie gossip," he laughed.
"It's a fun conversation to have with you...It's like a game of chess."
Though he didn't have anything else to add regarding news of the film, Gordon-Levitt expressed how grateful he was just to hear rumors tying him to the project:
"I'm honored and flattered that you would ask me that," he smiled.
So there you have it are you convinced that this is the Guy you want to direct then next spider-man movie? Are you interested in an Ultimate version for the film? And is Joseph Gordon-Levitt perfect for Peter Parker?
For me right now as long as there are movements on the Spidey-front I'm happy. Not jumping for joy happy but still happy.
-ACCESS out. Godspeed and MABUHAY!
