USPA NEWS -
On the big screen, Spider-Man is about to be a bigger Marvel than ever. Fans hearts soared Monday night with the news that Marvel Comics' web-slinging hero will finally share the big screen with the likes of Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Chris Evans' Captain America and Hulk.
And thanks to the deal between Sony Pictures and Marvel studios film fans can finally stop wondering why Spider-Man isn't in any Avengers movies. "It's wierd that, a year ago this deal felt like an almost impossible undertaking," says Mike Sampson of ScreenCrush.com.
A Spider-Man solo movie has been set for July 28, 2017, and will be produced by Marvel studios president Kevin Feige and former Sony studio head Amy Pascal. But the wall-crawling protagonist will make his Marvel debut before that, most likely in Captain America: Civil War, which hits theaters May 6, 2016.

It also sets the stage for Spidey to join potentially everyone from Chris Hemsworth's Thor to Chris Pratt's Star-Lord and the rest of the Gaurdians of the Galaxy in Avengers: Infinity War, which will be spread over two movies in May 2018 and May 2019.
The question: who will be under the Spidey Mask? Almost no one expects it to be Andrew Garfield, who starred in the last two Amazing Spider-Man films. It may not even be Peter Parker as Spider-Man. Smith Favors seeing someone like Community star Donald Glover as Miles Morales, a popular black-Latino Spidey introduced in the comics four years ago.
" I would like to see a young, up-and-coming actor of color get the job," Faraci says. "Make Spider-Man feel different by being a kid.

That's how he began - a 15-year-old who was in awe of the other heroes, and maybe had a bit of a chip on his shoulder about them."
