3. Spidey As The Audience's Narrative On The Wider Marvel Cinematic Universe
It is evidently no coincidence that the announcement of Spider-Man joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe came shortly before Captain America: Civil War ramps up production. His role in that story is immense and could easily impact his own solo outing. But it doesn't need to end there. What are his thoughts on the Hulk, Thor, or the events of The Avengers and Avengers: Age Of Ultron? Spider-Man is the geeky hero with the quips - just how much fun would it be exploring his thoughts on the wider universe? The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon wonderfully recreates the inner workings of Peter Parker's mind, from his desperation to join The Avengers to his hero worship of Tony Stark. Imagine Spider-Man becoming the hero that says what the audience is thinking, giving a down-to-earth opinion on everything that has happened in the movies. It wouldn't necessarily be about Spider-Man breaking the fourth wall and talking directly to the audience - that is best suited to Fox's Deadpool when he arrives on cinema screens next year - but he could bring an amusing narration on the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
