I was in a Google hangout with a good friend of mine today. I learned to never use Google hangout on a weekday ever again. A few days ago, I found this Spider-Man Twitter account. Obviously it made no impact on me because I’m a huge skeptic. Now I believe in the Holy Spirit again.
That’s right, folks. Spider-Man isn’t officially going back to Marvel, but he is going to be incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here’s what Disney CEO, Bob Iger had to say:
So yes, I can’t really function properly since this is all I ever wanted in my entire life. It’s quite possible that no moment will be as satisfying as this. The birth of my future children will make me happy, sure. But this? This is a seminal moment in a franchise’s history that is made of seminal moments.
You can read the rest of the official report on Marvel.com. I’m going to go have a drink. We did it. Spidey’s coming home. Beers on me!
