Three Things That Should Be In a Future 'Spider-Man' Movie

Just over a week ago the first trailer for the highly anticipated Captain America: Civil War was released.  One of the interesting things about this movie is that it promises not just nearly every hero already established in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also introduces two high profile characters into that world: Black Panther and Spider-Man.  Of the two, Black Panther is the only one to appear in the trailer and he makes quite an impressive appearance.  However, we still haven't seen the new Spider-Man and there's a lot we don't know about him.  Although Spider-Man has already appeared in five movies there's also a few things from his history that we've never seen on the big screen.  Hopefully these things will show up when Spidey 3.0 gets his own movie in 2017.

Eating With a Mask On

Even friendly neighborhood Spider-People have to eat some time.  They also have to protect their identity so that their enemies don't come after their loved ones.  This presents a problem.  Fortunately it has a simple solution.  Spider-Man can just pull the bottom of his mask up, exposing the bottom half of his face and keeping the rest of his head covered.  Ever the consummate New Yorker, Spider-Man has been known to frequent the city's many illustrious street vendors in between stopping crimes.  Whenever he gets a craving Peter just pulls up his mask and chows down.  It's a nice way of humanizing the character and showing how comfortable he is in costume, while allowing a moment of levity in his famously hectic life.

"Face it, Tiger"

In the 50+ years of Spider-Man's history, there are two lines that every fan knows by heart: "with great power comes great responsibility" and "face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot."  The former has been quoted incessantly but the latter has never been directly replicated.  It occurs when Peter meets his future wife Mary Jane Watson for the first time after a series of Home Improvement style facial concealments.  Peter previously had no interest in Mary Jane but his Aunt May set up a blind date anyway.  An unsuspecting Peter opened the door to get away at the same time she arrived.  Mary Jane called Peter "Tiger" a few times in the first three Spider-Man movies but the moment couldn't exactly be replicated because they knew each other their entire lives and Mary Jane doesn't appear at all in the most recent two Spider-Man movies.  Maybe there'll be a place in the next movie to pay homage to one of the most iconic moments in a long line of iconic moments.

A Good, Old Fashioned Team-Up

Spider-Man wasn't really a part of a team until the early 00's but he's always been the king of the one-and-done superhero team-up.  Most of Marvel's heroes live in New York but, as previously mentioned, none of them identify with the city as strongly as Spider-Man does.  He spends most of his time swinging around on patrol so he has the best chance of coincidentally being there whenever something goes down.  All throughout Spider-Man's history he's been known to happen upon another superhero while innocently swinging through the city.  He's known to banter with his villains during their fights but he really shines when he gets to josh around with someone who's more or less on his side.  Maybe now that he's joining a universe with a wealth of other heroes he'll finally get a chance to have a team-up in live action.
