Heat Vision:
Martin Sheen is in final negotiations to play Uncle Ben in Columbia’s new Spider-Man movie.
In Spider-Man lore, Uncle Ben, along with Aunt May, is responsible for bringing up Peter Parker. His death at the hands of a burglar is the key event that turns Parker, who until then was using his newfound super-powers for personal gain, to step onto the path of heroism.
If he has a big role then it looks like Peter will not be Spidey in most of the film.
Spiderman didn't become a hero until after his uncle's time.
All 3 Spiderman films were great. I hope this one follows that success.
