    Maybe that’s the angle they’re taking it. Remember that Reed Richards was in a different universe in MoM, and Spider-Mans were different Peters, so…

    I have no doubt he can do well with the character, just hope it makes a bit of sense and doesn’t feel like they’re using RDJ as a selling point to breathe life back into a tired run.
