No J. Jonah Jameson in Marc Webb's Spider-Man Reboot


To be fair, it was going to be hard to fill J.K. Simmons’ crew  cut anyway.

IGN has confirmed through “reliable” sources that the classic Spider-Man foil, J. Jonah Jameson, would not appear in Marc Webb’s 2012 Spider-Man reboot. I think this might be a good choice. Sure J. Jonah has been a part of the Spider-Man lore since the beginning, on film he can become a one-note character. We’ve already had three films with the character-assassinating character,  I think it’s refreshing to see that Webb and screenwriter James Vanderbilt aren’t mining everything that has come before it.

And hey, we’re going to get real web-shooters in the next film.

The next Spider-Man film hits theaters on July 3, 2012.
