To be fair, there aren't very many Indians or Asians in hollywood. Latino ppl like me look white, so they don't count. Black people are the easiest to diversify with.
Lol, we can trust audiences to understand and accept all the characters within Guardians of the Galaxy, but not a different, black (and latino!) Spider-Man?
Just market it properly, and any confusion about switching from Peter to Miles would be minimal.
If there's no mention of Peter Parker then yeah its gonna confuse the heck of of audiences. Heck I know people who were slightly confused with the TASM reboot.
You're GOTG point is completely irrelevant seen as they were all new characters to the big screen.
I'm not too worried about Tim Roth seen as Marvel will be calling most the shots now. Unless everyone at Sony are Completely High, they will do whatever Feige tells them is best.
But if this deal between Sony and Marvel breaks down after the first MCU Spider-Man solo film, then we'll know why.
^ Yep. People should read this guy's resume before saying "this is nothing to get excited about".
He was also spearheading the upcoming Daredevil series for Marvel, before he quit that to do Sinister Six. And Marvel was happy with his work/ideas on that.
Sony have also tried to hang on to his Sinister Six concept throughout the whole Spider-Man reboot, so he must have had some great ideas which they didn't want to let go of.
So yeah this isn't confirmed, but if it's true this would be a really good choice. The kind of choice Marvel would make.
