See the character in the comic books, isnt a pansexual.
Why should the movie version be differnt? just because? it breaks character.

Doing something like this would hurt sales of the movie to much.
I dont mind there being pansexuals in movies, just as long as its not a character with a long rich history (from books/comics/tv/movies ect where he isnt).

Make a differnt super hero movie instead, one where the hero happends to already be pansexual in the comic books.

How do we know that? We know he has feelings for certain women, but that's all. There are people who (at least claim to) discover that they're attracted to the same sex (or maybe even the opposite sex) much later in their lives.

It's not like we know that he's black and in the movie he's white.

Anyway, I think it'd be awesome as a storyline, if done right, though I don't see that ever happening. He's too popular, especially with kids, and unfortunately it'd hurt the brand.

We know that because in 40 years of comic books, Peter Parker has been attracted to many different women (Gwen Stacy, Betty Bryant, Mary Jane, Carlie Cooper, Felicia Hardy, etc) and no men.  We are privy to Spider-man's inner thoughts, so he wouldn't be hiding it.  Telepaths and even Doctor Octupus have taken over his mind, and none of them picked up on any homosexual urges.

Now Spider-man has never said "ewwwww boys are gross and I definitely don't like sucking penis", because that would be unnecessary and homophobic.  But we can say with about 99.99999999% certainty that he is not gay.  If you think there is any realistic possibility he is gay, you need to read some comics or get your head checked.

And no, it would not be a good storyline.  A superhero dealing with his sexuality could be a good storyline.  A character with no history of sexual attraction to males suddenly waking up gay would be a nonsensical storyline.  Yes, people come to terms with being gay later in life, but I've known gay people, and I've known gay people that had been closeted, and I've never heard of any of them just all of the sudden going "well... I usually like vagina, but I'm kind of in the mood for a penis today."  Generally its "I always felt something for guys but I wasn't honest with what it was".  It would make literally no sense.  Not to mention it would shoehorn in a conflict that didn't exist before.  And if you say it wouldn't or shouldn't be a conflict, then it would be pointless.
