11 Changes The MCU Wishes It Could Make
6. Bring In Spider-Man Sooner
Marvel's decision to cut a deal with Sony to bring Spider-Man to the MCU has already paid off in the form of a show-stealing cameo in Civil War and a phenomenally successful solo movie. Their only regret must be that they didn't do it sooner.
Had the House of M brought Spidey into the fold after the Sam Raimi saga had run its course, not only would they have spared the world The Amazing Spider-Man 2, they could also have done a lot more with the hero.
Classic Spidey supporting characters like Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy are too fresh in the fans' minds from the Sony era to warrant reboots for the MCU, but that wouldn't have been the case had Marvel reclaimed Spider-Man when Raimi was done with him.
By now, Peter Parker would be done with high school and college, ready for the challenges and storytelling possibilities that await in his web-slinging adulthood.
Handing the red and blue spandex to Tom Holland worked out well enough, but there's always a stigma attached to rebooting and recasting, especially when it happens to a beloved character twice within five years.
