Didn't you ever hear Stan Lee's speech in Mallrats?
STAN LEE: I like that sort of thing. Tell me, do you have a girlfriend,
brodie?
BRODY: Had one. We just broke up. The Thing! Is his dork made of orange rock like the rest of his body?
STAN LEE: [ Chuckles ] it's a superhero's secret. Tell me, brodie. Why
did you and your girlfriend break up?
BRODY: She was a pain in the ass. She wanted me to be this typical
boyfriend guy. Said I was too into my own world of comics and all.
STAN LEE: Yeah, I can relate. There was a time when it was all about
comics for me. I had a girl, probably the same as yours. She always
complained that I spent too much time with my own comics. And,
eventually, we broke up.
BRODY: See? What did she know? Here you are now, a legend in the field.
Probably had a slew of women since her. Am I right?
STAN LEE: Oh, lots of women. Jagger and me, we had a running contest to
see who had the most. Matter of fact, last time I looked, I was way
ahead.
BRODY: Damn, that's hot!
STAN LEE: But I never forgot that girl.
BRODY: Did you ever get back together?
STAN LEE: One day, I found out she got married. I had blown it. I had,
uh... Missed my window.
BODY: No way. Well, what'd you do?
STAN LEE: I went on with my life. I created some special new
superheroes. They were characters that reflected my own heartbreak and
my own regrets.
BRODY: How so?
STAN LEE: Doctor doom wears body armor... To conceal his own mangled
form, right?
BRODY: Yeah.
STAN LEE: Okay. That was me beneath the armor. The hulk-- a normal guy
one minute, a rage of emotions the next. Just like me when I thought
about what I'd given up.
BRODY: So you created each character as a way to deal with your one big
regret.
STAN LEE: I like that sort of thing. Tell me, do you have a girlfriend,
brodie?
BRODY: Had one. We just broke up. The Thing! Is his dork made of orange rock like the rest of his body?

Yesterday, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios confirmed that (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb is going to direct the Spider-Man reboot. In reporting on the news, the Risky Business blog has some possible more details on the project:
Webb, who has options on two sequels, will now tackle a Jamie Vanderbilt script that sees a “Spider-Man” movie that will look and feel very different from the big movies that went before it.
The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.
The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.
Please keep in mind that none of this is confirmed and we may not know for sure until closer to release. Stay tuned for more announcements as they come in...
