John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have made it clear they can't say too much about penning the script for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man reboot because they are still in the early stages. They have not even met Tom Holland, the third actor who will be portraying the Web-Slinger on the big-screen. However, that will all change this weekend, or rather today, as the filmmaking duo has revealed in two more interviews that were both conducted earlier this week.
"We're going in on Friday to talk to Marvel and see all the materials and start talking specifics," Jonathan Goldstein told Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his & John Francis Daley's directorial debut Vacation. Daley then reiterated the reboot has a "John Hughes take [with] Peter in high school." He added, "I think we're going to spend a lot more time on them in high school and deal with him being a real kid." "They cast a real kid, so we're going to write a real kid."
Speaking of "them," or rather some of the supporting Spider-Man characters, there was a rumored cast list making the rounds earlier this week and it had the likes of Billy Zane playing the Vulture. The cast list was not covered here on CBM, but John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have debunked its legitimacy during a separate Vulture interview. "We've discussed certain characters," said Daley, "but nothing is certain yet, for sure." He and Golstein also reiterated that they will be visiting Marvel Studios this weekend, and that among the things they will see is the footage of Tom Holland's cameo as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War. "We hear good things," said Goldstein. "We might even get to look at the Spidey suit, which is exciting." What do you think?
UPDATE: In yet another interview, this time with The Andy Greenwald Podcast, John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein talked even more about skipping the origins story in Spider-Man as well as more about their meeting with Marvel this weekend. "I think that everybody feels like you know he got bit by a spider and you know Uncle Ben died, and we probably don’t need to revisit that," said Goldstein about Marvel and Sony's direction. Daley then elaborated on sending Peter back to high school. "We have a meeting set up at the end of the week just to go over the logistics and to look at his suit, which will be fun," he said. "But we’re so pumped about it and Marvel seems to be doing everything right; we’re both such huge fans of the stuff they’re putting out. I think it’ll be a fun departure from the Peter Parker you’ve seen, where now he is truly a kid and I think the stakes are increased in that his struggle through high school is very real and isn’t just a sort of side note; it matters now."

Directed by Jon Watts, Marvel and Sony's untitled Spider-Man reboot so far stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, and is scheduled to open in theaters on July 28, 2017. However, the friendly neighborhood web-slinger will first make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut briefly alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Captain America: Civil War on May 6, 2016.
