Is a 3rd reboot of Spiderman really needed?


Now its just starting to get silly and unwanted.

After the COLOSSAL misfire that was the Amazing Spider-Man series, and the overwhelming success of the MCU?

Yes. Yes it was needed.

This is a different situation.

The others were SONY films and they needed to be done or SONY would lose the rights to the spiderman films

It's not the 3rd reboot, it's "only" the 2nd.
Raimi/Maguire = 1st iteration (not a reboot)
Webb/Garfield = 2nd iteration (1st reboot)
Watts/Holland = 3rd iteration (2nd reboot)

The 70s live-action Spider-man didn't have any movies theatrically released in the U.S. If it did then you could count Raimi as a reboot.

It is needed. The movie was awesome and Tom Holland is the Spiderman we have been waiting for. He was spot on.

The second incarnation of modern Spiderman movies was terrible with a horrible cast. This has to be an improvement. PLUS there is still money on the table. Hollygreed knows no bounds.
