Consider this a freebie to all of the folks at Sony. I have thoughts on how you can make the next few films. First off they have a chance to be epic. You established an incredible sense of style and sequence already. So, I want to throw out some suggestions I think could help.
First off: The next few films ought to be like this: You need a Gwen Stacy film. It might bomb, but do it. You need it to establish more of the universe and deepen that character. She’s worth it. I have yet to entirely figure out her film, but I can do that later. This is Miles time.
The first film was an origin story. Several, actually. It served to pass the torch from one Spiderman to the next. Still the new Spiderman is living in the old one’s world and fighting that man’s battles. This new film has to be about the battles Miles has to face and what makes him different. It needs to establish his new world and, most importantly, his new nemesis. This will be an origin story about the new nemesis. Miles will learn who this foil is and through uncovering this person’s (a woman would be a nice opposite) reasoning he will learn about himself and his place in the world.
I even have the first scene. It starts on top of the tallest building in the city. Miles has his headphones in. He’s hanging upside down and waiting for a crime to happen and monologuing to the audience. He springs into action and we get a glimpse of how he is going to be the spiderman.
Film three is a departure. We see Miles in Gwen’s world and it tests their relationship. More to come on that as my thoughts on that world unfold.
