It has been confirmed that (500) Days of Summer director, Marc Webb will direct a reboot of Spider-Man.

As much of a bummer as it is that the same creative team that helmed the first three films won’t be back for a fourth, at least the franchise is in good hands. Webb should have the ability to bring a great amount of humanity to the beloved Marvel characters.

It might prove to be interesting to see a retooled version of the mythos in film, perhaps this reboot will be what Ultimate Spider-Man was to The Amazing Spider-Man books and even integrate the characters in Marvel Studios’ interconnecting Iron Man, Thor and Incredible Hulk. Hell, if the studios were smart they’d have Brian Michael Bendis either write or produce the damned thing.

Though, with only one flick under his belt, does Webb have the experience to pull it off?  Let’s hope so, no one wants another Spider-Man 3.
