By now, we all know Spider-Man's origin story. Nerdy kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider which gives him spider-powers. So why redo it? It's time for Marvel to get a pitch from someone they care little about - an internet writer - which they will probably ignore. With that said, lets begin.
Part One - End Credits
Firstly, lets introduce him as a legend. Marvel is known for it's awesome end-credits scenes. What they normally do is tease the future of the cinematic universe. So Spider-Man's legend has to begin in an end credits scene. Part one of my pitch is the end credits scene of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. We see Tony Stark sitting in Avengers Tower (or where-ever Earths mightiest Heroes are according to the aftermath of the film) and watching TV. He's looking in awe at the TV. Bruce or Steve enters and asks what's going on. Tony replies with "Some kid is getting an award from the city for the battle" (I don't know the events of Ultron yet so my guess is a battle in New York). "Apparently he saved a load of people in the parts of the city we couldn't reach."
Steve/Bruce asks "Huh, what's his name?"
Tony looks at him, behind him we see the TV with a large mob of cheering people, all in front of a stage. "They call him Spider-Man".
We zoom into the TV and see the crowd look in awe to something off screen. Spider-Man swings down in the front of the camera (we only see his back) and then we cut to black.
This builds the excitement. We haven't really seen the full suit, or even heard the web-slinger talk. He's just some guy that the city loves. Maybe we could have some banter between Tony and Bruce/Steve saying "Where's our award?" I don't know, this is just a rough idea, but this would have me hyped as hell.
Part Two - Civil War
This is when Spider-Man appears in the MCU in more than just a cameo, but no more than a side role. He's not as important as the other Avengers, but he's important to the story. I'm going to suggest something that could either be perceived as genius or downright stupid. It is Peter Parker Spider-Man, but we never see him without his mask. That said, we will have the iconic scene where Spider-Man removes his mask. But, as soon as the mask is off, it will be shot from behind him, so we only see the back of his head, and hear his few lines of dialog in the scene, being-
And then we cut to the next scene, and Spider-Man's mask is never removed again. He'll still be giving his villains the lip, with witty lines of sarcasm, but we do not remove his mask again. This cements him once more as a legend to the audience. He's our only characters with a secret identity, but not even the audience knows what he looks like. Even after he un-masks. With this version we're going to connect more to Spider-Man than Peter Parker. We're going to see him as the civilians in the movie see him. BUT WAIT! Don't stop reading yet! Because this is when we kill Peter Parker.
About half way through Civil War, Spider-Man is going to realize he's on the wrong side. He's going to switch to Cap's side, but Cap won't trust him, because unlike the comics, they have no history together. And Cap probably sees him as an inexperienced kid. Spider-Man is going to be trying to prove himself to an Idol of his who believes him to be a flake, and then, Spider-Man is going to take a bullet for him. Mixing in an awesome tale from the Ultimate comics into the Civil War story line.
It won't be the biggest part of the movie, but it will be the main climaxe's motivater. Leading to a battle between Tony and Steve, Steve being angry at Tony because it was one of his men who shot the young and inexperienced hero. When the fight is over, we're left with an emotional feeling, not because of the death of a legend, but because of the guilt felt by a beloved and developed character. Also, we would get this scene.
Maybe Mary Jane or Aunt May comes out sobbing and screaming at Captain America, because they believe it to be his fault, and he is riddled with so much guilt, he resigns from his role. Becoming just Steve Rodgers.
Part Three - Miles Morales
So yes, this is where we introduce someone everyone wants to see - Miles Morales.
Finally! And yes, we do his origin story. It's not too difficult to do, and once it's out of the way, we move onto other parts of the movie, including - Steve Rogers. We have the gigantic funeral for the original Spider-Man, which Steve is attending, where he meets Miles, someone who has come to pay respects, and to find someone to train him. Steve speaks to him for a while and realizes his intentions. He attempts to talk him out of it, but then agrees to train him. Here we have a classic and brilliant archetype - The old and retired soldier trains the new one, who is uncertain of his powers.
It's a different spin on the comics, but it would be interesting to see an ex-Avenger training the new Spider-Man. We see him miss the glory days, but also fear a return to the field due to the original Spider-Man's death, we see Miles's bright hopefulness contrast with Steve's solemn soberness. Also, it's a different formula to all of the other Spider-Man films, which are all... pretty similar. Who's the villain? Craven The Hunter.
For those of you who are unaware of Kraven's back story, he's a hunter who comes to New York to kill Spider-Man, proving himself as the greatest hunter in the world. When he discovers that he is not hunting the original Spider-Man, but instead Miles Morales, he begins teasing Miles, making the young hero attack him in rage. We are given an epic showdown, in which Miles is almost killed, only to be saved by Steve, who is re-suited as Captain America.
(Guess who's back, back again...)
Kraven is put away and Captain America has returned. The two then return in Infinity War part 2. Infinity War part 1 should be the original heroes taking on Thanos and being defeated, part 2 should be the B-team rising to the occasion, which now includes Cap and Miles. Their relationship is Batman and Robin-ish, because Spider-Man should not take over the MCU. So giving him a partnership with a guilt ridden Cap makes for an interesting and new dynamic in the MCU.
So that's my opinion on what should be done with Spider-Man in the MCU. It's what I want but it will probably never happen. As cool as it would be. What's your opinion? Leave it in the Usual place. Hope you enjoyed!
