Ideas for New Spider-Man films

[Abishai100]

Spider-Man is a defender of the American city. The nemeses that he encounters such as Green Goblin and Electro are terrorists who defy the civics of modern city coordination and infrastructure. Green Goblin is a jet-soaring bomb-throwing nihilist; Electro is an electricity wielding electrical energy grid manipulator and subverter.

I want to see Doctor Octopus make another appearance in the next Spider-Man film, perhaps portrayed by an offbeat actor such as David Arquette.

Spider-Man villains are mutants of a certain kind --- they wield powers based on agility/motility anxieties relevant to modern city mobility. Instead of being weaved with spider juice like Spider-Man which makes him elegantly soar and web, they are affected by strange toxins or elements that make them lethal daredevils of mobility.

The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a specific chemical in the human body that is activates as the body adapts and grows in size with age. HGH increases protein synthesis, muscle mass, and assists in the mineralization of bones. As our body adapts to our environment and we grow or are stunted in growth due to environmental pressures or behavioral variables (i.e., nicotine intake), HGH works with the chemical responses to these events to activate the nature of growth.

HGH studies parallel the science-fiction stories in the Spider-Man universe. How does Doctor Octopus' brain and body work as his mechanically infused tentacles make him unnaturally mobile like a giant squid? How is the HGH affected in his body, and how does his brain respond?

I'd like to see species motility adaptation concerns addressed in a new Spider-Man film featuring the development of Doctor Octopus and his schemes focused on his ability to grab things and move around with machine-efficient tentacle-enabled incredibly strange agility.

Three possibilities depending on what direction Sony (or Disney) wants to go in.

The Continuation:
Amazing Spider-Man 3
This would continue Peter Parker's story. It's been a few years since Gwen died. Aunt May's trying to set Peter up with her niece Mary Jane. Flash Thompson is Peter's roommate having served in the military and lost his legs, all while inspired by Spider-Man.
The main villain is the Jackal, a mad scientist obsessed with Gwen Stacy, performing all sorts of weird experiments. He forms a partnership with the Tarantula, a hitman Spidey had previously dispatched with ease, mutating Tarantula to give him new powers.
The Jackal starts infecting New Yorkers who suddenly gain the powers of Spider-Man. Peter has a bit of a conflict when Flash takes charge, and seemingly becomes a better Spider-Man. MJ gives him a pep talk, revealing that she knows that he's Spider-Man and introduces him to a friend of hers on that planeful of people Gwen saved back in ASM2.
The final fight is Spider-Man VS a mutated dying Tarantula.

The Soft Reboot:
Marvel Team-Up: Spider-Man
If Disney gets the rights to the Spider-Man films, this would be one way to do something different. Peter Parker is a relatively new hero trying to learn from the best, encountering Daredevil, Falcon, Captain Marvel and the Hulk.

The Hard Reboot:
The Web of Spider-Man
It's definitely too soon for this one, although if Peter Parker is recast, this might be the official origin story of that version. The next time they retell the story of the origin, they could focus more on the period when Spider-Man was famous. I'd also explore others affected by the sudden arrival of a kid with super-powers, like the wrestler Crusher Hogan (as seen in a Tangled Web one-shot.) Doctor Octopus could be a plausible villain, getting his powers in the same accident that exposed Peter Parker to the radiation of the spider bite.

I like this idea for the series, actually. But it also makes me think of the lost opportunities with this franchise. To do it right, they could have reduced the villains in ASM2, scrapped the father stuff, and introduced Miles Warren in ASM1. Then kill Gwen early on in ASM2, and have her (clone) appear in the graveyard at the very end of ASM2. Cliffhanger!
