So far the cast was looking ok, but with the addition of Sheen it has scale to great.

Yawn, we don't need UNCLE BEN or an ORIGIN!!!

REBOOT CONTINUATION, straight to the SPIDEY action!

Good actor but sucked in SPAWN!

Too well known for BEN, just like SALLY lol FIELD! : p

Still, my h8 is gone for this project, fingers crossed it ain't Ultimate... gotta save my H8 for FIST A$$! : p

@ leee777

i'm with you on this,we don't need the origin story again it can be told in the opening credits.

everyone in the whole world knows how peter parker becomes spider-man.

sally field is the wrong choice for aunt may as well.

as for the "ultimate" universe version of spidey,well i can see it happening.

they've got a new animated show starting set in the ultimate universe,the pefect way to promote spider-man before the film comes out.

I think he's an awesome actor! This ups the stock of the new spidey flick for me!

Well, if he has more than a brief appearance in the film, that means too much origin for my taste. One of the reasons I am not the least bit interested in this one. High School Spiderman doesn't appeal to me.
