- speaking with Empire Magazine, director of the next Spider-Man film Jon Watts said:

“There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben… I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high-school movie. We’re really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He’s just 15 now.”

Too young?

Maybe the idea could bring a refreshing take on Spidey?

What do you think?

If he just became Spider-Man then 15-17 is how old he was in the original story (depending on which version and time line) so fine by me.

Interesting. I hope whoever portrays him does his character well

If he's getting his own orignal story, then a-ok with me. 

If that's how he start off in Civil War, rather than a a much older Peter, then I think its terrible

Interesting to see this movie.

Miles Morales was an awesome spiderman and was younger. 15 yo for peter parker is cannon.

Not surprising considering the kid they chose to play him looks like he's barely hit puberty, if at all.

He will be in Civil War first and then own movie a couple years later.  Not ideal, but understandable given long legal issues with Sony.

He is younger probably because:
-There have been alot of spider movies when he was already older, so this is most likely attempt to show people that spider will be worth looking out for, even though he had many reboots in the last years.
-He is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The overall plan is probably that they want to acompanny spider through his life as the movies go by, seeing not just his superhero side, but also seeing how he grows up, and deals with stuff like having a job, being more responsible with life, and so on.

Sounds good to me.
