Kevin Feige: Spider-Man Will Be Like A John Hughes Movie

The American film producer and president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige said that "Spider-Man will be a 'John Hughes' movie". The movie might have a lot in common with Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, All are movies written and directed by John Hughes who was known as the king of high school films in the '80s.

As Kevin Feige depends on how moviegoers would feel about classic '80s high school classics, the new film will Spider-Man in a a high school setting , where Peter Parker will get to experience detention and spend his days trying to be more clever than his school principal

The  film producer notes "that Spidey's age will set him apart from other Marvel characters. Some of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he's in high school for a lot of it. We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the MCU, which is something else we want to explore: how unique he is when now put against all these other characters."

Feige presented in detail the thought that will set Peter Parker apart from the other superheroes. When Tom Holland read against Robert Downey, Jr. in a screen test Feige said, "That was part of it," Feige also added: "When we'll see that, I don't know, but that was part of it."

Kevin Feige will feature in the Spidey reboot, a comic-book like villain who hasn't been in any of the previous movies. More likely, Feige is interested to show villains that have not been featured before.

Feige set some reasons why he has director Jon Watts on board. Kevin Feige said, "We met with him four, five, or six times, and each time he had more and more interesting things to say," the president of Marvel Studios added "And at Marvel, it always comes down to ultimately, 'We can make a movie with this person for two years, we could spend almost every day with this person for two years. Let's go.'"
