Tyler Perry is one of those actors who splits audience opinion straight down the middle. It’s not that he’s bad, in fact like a lot of comedy actors – Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell for example – he’s very talented, he just sticks with what he knows and unfortunately that is more times than not a bad Tyler Perry movie (enough to make him a running gag on Family Guy).

Gone Girl could well be the turning point as Tyler Perry’s portrayal of calculating, yet undeniably charismatic lawyer Tanner Bolt was a surprising highlight in an already excellent film, and it’s those very qualities he displayed as Bolt that make him perfect for Robbie Robertson.

Robbie is one of Spider-Man’s biggest supporters and is often the ignored angel on Jameson’s shoulder when the Daily Bugle churns out anti-wallcrawler headline after headline. He’s also a strong father figure in Peter’s life and a character who has been thus-far underused in the films, having so few lines in Raimi’s trilogy you could count them on two hands.
