In an interview with The New York Times, Abrams explains that their vision for the new Spider-Man story is to “show Peter Parker in a way you haven’t seen him before.”
Henry added, “Spider-Man is one of those superheroes where, the more you read about him, for me at least, the less I understand him. He’s so anti-everything that you’d expect from a hero. I think Stan Lee said something about putting the human in superhuman. That is what we’re trying to do.”
In the new series fans can expect to meet a new villain, Cadaverous, and follow a new story of Spider-Man and his famous love interest over the years, Mary Jane Watson. (ayr/kes)
