Before the Sony/Marvel deal was announced, a friendly reddit user
leaked that the two studios were meeting to hand over the rights to Spider-Man (he also
posted that Spidey would be Peter, not Miles, well before the announcement). He talked a bit about the actors that were auditioning at the time (Lerman, Elgort, etc), but a while ago made
a new thread leaking that Dylan O'Brien had been cast as Peter/Spidey. Since then, he's posted a ton more info about the new films, including villains, love interests, etc.
- They're likely leaning towards Ultimate Spider-Man storylines
-
Villains will include Venom, Carnage, and Norman Osborn (maybe/maybe not Green Goblin)- Norman Osborne will "a HUGE part of this universe" and Fisk's puppetmaster, "EVERYBODY'S villain. Not just Spider-Man's". He won't be the primary villain in the first film but will basically begin deteriorating and becoming more corrupt as a result of his need for power and $$$
- Kenny McFarlane/King Kong will be a part of the verse
-
They may/will eventually include Miles and Dylan signed on for 6 or 7 films (3 Spider-Man films, Civil War, both Infinity Wars and a potential other film)
- Peter may or may not have a love interest, not confirmed what girl it will be, he says they're trying to avoid a love interest line being a focal point
- JJ Jameson will start crossing over into other Marvel films, no word on whether JK Simmons will/can reprise the role (
crying and praying that he will tho)
Obv you can take all of this with whatever grain of salt you want - he did leak (or accurately predict) several major things before, so he has a history of credibility and has kept up with the thread since day 1. That being said it's on reddit so..
