6. Can Audiences Take Another Reboot? - Spider-Man
Well, can they? Despite the fact that Spider-Man is - without question - the most famous Marvel character ever (and arguably the most inherently popular), the franchise has suffered a bit over the years. First, there was the misguided Spider-Man 3, which essentially ended the character's relationship with Sam Raimi, and then there was the very mediocre The Amazing Spider-Man, a reboot starring Andrew Garfield, and its sequel, which wasn't very good at all. And now Spider-Man is being rebooted all over again - for the second time in the space of five years. Though his integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is something to be excited about - as is the casting of an actual teenager in 19-year-old Tom Holland - one can't help but wonder if it's too soon to sit down to yet another Spider-Man origin story.
