^ I was just alluding to the fact that in certain instances the Marvel brain-trust basically maps out the whole movie and might favor talent who're just easy to work with to execute it rather than trusting them on the more creative side of things.

Marvel definitely hires YES men. Big time. That's why guys like Edgar Wright and Kenneth Branagh got ousted.

It's not a big deal or even necessarily a bad thing. The MCU is being overseen by Feige and he wants to make sure everything fits into it nicely instead of having weird outliers. Still, it's the truth: Marvel hires people who will toe the line they want and not ask questions.

Rumor has it that Sony is researching Kraven the Hunter to be the villian in the reboot. There was also a rumor recently that Vulture and Scorpion would be the villians too.

Ed Norton IS notoriously difficult to work with, but it seems like it comes from a place of him genuinely wanting everything he does to be as good as possible.

As for Edgar Wright and Ant-Man, it kinda doesn't matter whether his ideas were good or bad, Marvel got rid of him because he wouldn't toe the line. They want yes men. Edgar Wright fought them, he got kicked to the curb. Same with Branaugh. Same with Norton. They don't want people who do or say things that contradict with Feige and the overall vision for the MCU. Again, that's actually not necessarily a bad thing when they have an over-arching vision like this, and have a general mapped out plan, but it IS what Marvel does and there's no denying it.

Talks are in the very early stages — it’s not quite clear if there’s an offer on the table — but overtures are there.

[Dr Kain]

If Keaton does end up being in it, he would make a great Vulture.

Man, the irony of Birdman being The Vulture... I can already see myself getting sick of everyone pointing out the irony!

But Keaton's a great actor, and they'd be lucky to get him.

I can see Keaton playing Adrian Toomes/The Vulture if we're looking at villains from Spider-Man's early days. And if we're looking at more recent villains I can see Keaton giving an interesting performance as Morlun. Although if Morlun is a potential role I would keep the movie tightly focused on original story line that introduced the character (I forget what it's called) and keep the mystery surrounding Morlun.

EDIT: HA! I spent all that time trying to track down some details (unsuccessfully), I see Dr. Kain had the same idea about Keaton playing the Vulture.

[mr.negativity]

Casper Crump should play Morlun.

Nobody from Legends of Tomorrow should be allowed to do anything else ever again. That show is so bad, it hurts.

[O.Supreme]

Legends is...ok..(I know I'm in the minority).I guess because I enjoy all the little DC Easter Eggs. however Krump, while looking menacing, sounds like a complete "weenie" for lack of a better term. They should have had someone dub his voice.

As for Spiderman: Homecoming, I'm sure the final product will be great, but for some reason, something like this pops up in my mind:

Heatwave is the second worst thing in a DC show thus far (Hawkgirl being the worst).

I also find Sarah WAY worse here. It's really exposes how bad an actress Caity Lotz is and she's just a horndog. Every woman on the show does nothing but think about getting laid.

Brandon Routh is the only thing I don't hate. It's probably the worst show on TV. I think I'd rather watch The Walking Dead and I quit on that two seasons ago. I'm sticking with it for the season, and I'll start watching next season in the hope that it improves with a different cast and different story, but I've never watched anything so bad.
