A "Trusted Source" Once Again Promises A Spider-Man Cameo In THE AVENGERS

It seems that the recent rumors started by Jenny Agutter recently has resulted in a surge of reports that Spidey will cameo in The Avengers, with the latest claiming to be from a "trusted source".

By Josh Wilding - 1/29/2012

BestMoviesEverNews.com have run a story claiming that their "trusted sources" have revealed that Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker/Spider-Man WILL make some sort of cameo appearence in Marvel's The Avengers. Personally, I find it hard to believe any report that spells 'Spider-Man' as 'Spiderman' in their headline, while the site seemingly has no prior track record of scoops such as this one. As usual, take the following with a ~~pinch~~ whole fistful of salt...

"This will be similar to how Wolverine made a quick cameo in X-Men: First Class and Sony’s going to make sure to promote their new Spider-man movie any way they can. Andrew’s (Garfield) isn’t a widely known actor so they want to get his face on everything, including The Avengers even if it’s for a couple seconds."

Convinced? No, me neither! However, until this is either confirmed or debunked by an official source, who knows?! While it does seem ludicrous, it's worth noting that these rumors have been around for a long time before Agutter even dropped the webslingers name in a recent interview. The timing of this one does seem more than a little dubious though. Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors/The Lizard
Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben
Sally Fields as Aunt May
Denis Leary as George Stacy

RELEASE DATE: July 3rd, 2012.

	PantherX - 1/29/2012, 7:49 AM Login to report abuse Oh, well i'm sold now. Can't argue against a "trusted source". >.>
	ThreeBigTacos - 1/29/2012, 7:55 AM Login to report abuse "fistful of salt..." I think that's my favorite quote of the day. Other than that, hey if this rumor comes out true hell yea. I mean I don't know why Sony and Marvel couldn't strike up a deal: both companies would benefit from it. Even if it's just a blink and you'll miss moment (like some report said).
	Vision91 - 1/29/2012, 7:58 AM Login to report abuse dude, if this is for real. Which now, considering SONY is pretty much as dead as Circuit City and could be using this as an advertisement. I will flip my shit!....in a good way
	marvel72 - 1/29/2012, 8:02 AM Login to report abuse i personally can't see it but this is definetly one time i wouldn't mind being proved wrong.
	MovieMaster - 1/29/2012, 8:03 AM Login to report abuse Notice all these sites only started reporting the Spidey rumor after Jenny Agutter said that he was in the movie.
	TheSkywalkingKnight - 1/29/2012, 8:09 AM Login to report abuse EXCLUSIVE: I FOUND HIS CAMEO!!!
	ThreeBigTacos - 1/29/2012, 8:11 AM Login to report abuse @Irish: haha that looks pretty awesome! See Spidey would look great with the Avengers by the time of his 2nd or 3rd movie, and his classic costume (not that I mind this costume).
	Spidey91 - 1/29/2012, 8:14 AM Login to report abuse @TheIrishAvenger LOL,that's pretty well done I don't know,my logical self says it's impossible,but my fanboy self is ready to flip his shit at the sight of Andrew in The Avengers :/
	nuclearpriest - 1/29/2012, 8:18 AM Login to report abuse If this rumour is true, then I find it hard to believe that the producers of this movie didn't sit EVERY actor down and say "no matter what, don't mention the Spider-Man cameo". They have to know what complete idiots most actors are and that they will blab everything unless told not to.
	ballstothewall - 1/29/2012, 8:26 AM Login to report abuse I'm sure that the cameo might just be a billboard in the movie.
	GreyChaos13Zero - 1/29/2012, 8:27 AM Login to report abuse why not have Logan too, i wouldn't mind?)
	Supes17 - 1/29/2012, 8:30 AM Login to report abuse Enthralling Tale, Brethren
	Ranger14 - 1/29/2012, 8:31 AM Login to report abuse " I mean I don't know why Sony and Marvel couldn't strike up a deal: both companies would benefit from it." Sony and Marvel (Disney) did strike up a deal with merchandising and film rights for Spidey, but we don't know what the specific details are. We do know Sony still has film rights for Spidey and Disney has merchandising rights. Whether there could have been some special clause in that agreement specific to a cameo, we don't know, but I am open to that being a possibility, albeit a very small one.
	PantherX - 1/29/2012, 8:34 AM Login to report abuse I love the fact that all these Spidey-cameo rumors are based off of what some old woman said, who, most likely, has next to no knowledge on comic books. It just won't happen, he's not part of Marvel's Universe, and it'd be beyond stupid to just jam him in and hope he fits in with the rest of em.
	SpideyQuad - 1/29/2012, 8:38 AM Login to report abuse Maybe as PP taking photo's?
	HellsHammer - 1/29/2012, 8:39 AM Login to report abuse Id love to see him in it but Im not going to get my hopes up
	MovieMann - 1/29/2012, 8:40 AM Login to report abuse THIS IS NOT LEGALY POSSIBLE!!
	spiderneil - 1/29/2012, 8:41 AM Login to report abuse it's bullshit. why would sony let spidey appear in avengers? what's in it for them?
	RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 1/29/2012, 8:42 AM Login to report abuse My trusted source says he won't be in the movie. "Andrew Garfield isn't a widely known actor, so they want to get his face on everything." Yeah, because Toby Maguire was a regular A lister before he was spider-man. Nobody gives a crap about Andrew Garfield, they are going to see Spider-Man. It could be played by ANYONE, and people will still turn out to go see it.
	Dev7 - 1/29/2012, 8:43 AM Login to report abuse This article is complete BS. Why did this site have to wait until some vague actress associated with the Avengers movie to reveal that there would be a spiderman cameo to finally come out and say so? The site is just building and feeding on the controversy previously reported that spiderman will cameo in the Avengers. Simply put the site just wants attention in all this BS cameo rumor.
	Spidey31 - 1/29/2012, 8:43 AM Login to report abuse Actually if you think about if someone leaks a statement saying Spidey is going to cameo in the avengers..and he is( hypothetically l) then it would draw in more people to the theater, just to see if it may be true,it's kind of a market strategy.
	blvdnoise - 1/29/2012, 8:44 AM Login to report abuse $$$ <--- that's what. Yes, not probable. Not impossible.
	returnhangar - 1/29/2012, 8:45 AM Login to report abuse @jkm ....not part of marvels universe? i hope you mean marvel studios movie universe because im pretty sure the last spidey comic i bought had a big ol marvel logo in the corner i dont want spiderman in the movie i find it silly that the avengers is out before spiderman but. hell be established in the movie?
	RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 1/29/2012, 8:45 AM Login to report abuse They don't need to market the actor playing Spider-man. That is just a waste of money. You have Spider-man. The character markets himself. Like I said it could be played by anyone of us and it will still make a ton of money. Plus why would Andrew Garfield be in the avengers and not Spider-man. Honestly, if it were just Andrew Garfield nobody would know, or honestly give a crap he was there. Now, if Spider-man had a cameo that is a totally different story.
	CaptainAmerica - 1/29/2012, 8:46 AM Login to report abuse @ Moviemann, it is legally possible. @ Spiderneil, Sony would benefit by having people ease in to the idea of a Spider-Man reboot.
	RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 1/29/2012, 8:47 AM Login to report abuse @Captain America Sony already eased people into a reboot with Spider-man 3.
	CaptainAmerica - 1/29/2012, 8:51 AM Login to report abuse Lmao
	DCnerd46 - 1/29/2012, 8:52 AM Login to report abuse Doubt it's going to happen, but I'd love to see a cameo. I love the fact that Marvel has built its own cinematic universe. Shame DC hasn't done the same.
	joeker - 1/29/2012, 8:52 AM Login to report abuse if this was true it would be cool but because they are both owned by DIFFERENT companies & they have already said in a interview which was one here that this will not happen
	CaptainAmerica - 1/29/2012, 8:52 AM Login to report abuse Tru dat, but yea, Sony doesn't really benefit too much from it and neither do Marvel/Disney. It would just be for the fans.
	Ranger14 - 1/29/2012, 8:53 AM Login to report abuse Moviemann@ Last fall no one would ever have believed that it would be legally possible for Disney/Marvel to own the merchandising rights to Spidey. ;-)
	spidey1994 - 1/29/2012, 8:55 AM Login to report abuse No way! but if Spidey is in it, I'll cream my pants!
	Cheesehead - 1/29/2012, 8:59 AM Login to report abuse No chance
	TheDpool - 1/29/2012, 9:00 AM Login to report abuse truth be told I didnt belive the wolverine cameo til i saw it so maybe?
	PantherX - 1/29/2012, 9:02 AM Login to report abuse @returnhangar Yeah, I meant the the movie-verse, my bad ;)
	TheIconicMan - 1/29/2012, 9:03 AM Login to report abuse It may have some Avengers' heroes, like Ant-Man or Wasp. But Spider-Man is a little unlikely. I don't know, but it's difficult.
	Dox - 1/29/2012, 9:05 AM Login to report abuse Unlikely, but it would be a really cool cameo.
	DCfan89 - 1/29/2012, 9:08 AM Login to report abuse i would really love it if Spidey was in this movie..... but.. i doubt it :\
	MovieTheaterLad - 1/29/2012, 9:10 AM Login to report abuse You wanna know why Wolverine cameo'd in First Class? BECAUSE IT WAS A [frick]ING X-MEN MOVIE! JESUS TAP-DANCING CHRIST!
	SuperDude001 - 1/29/2012, 9:15 AM Login to report abuse Don't believe this at all...but if there was a chance of Spidey appearing I just hope it's photographer Peter Parker and the kind where you blink and you'll miss it.
	QuietStorm - 1/29/2012, 9:16 AM Login to report abuse @SpideyQuad I like your idea. That way it's Peter Parker with some small face time in plain clothes.
	Boyle360 - 1/29/2012, 9:17 AM Login to report abuse I doubt it's true but wouldn't it be an awesome moment for the fans if there's a part where we see like civilians looking in awe at something spectacular happening and we can see a clear shot of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker lifting up his camera to take pictures of it. Since the Avengers comes out before The Amazing Spider-Man, it could be before he got his powers. Maybe. I'm not convinced it's true, but I'm not like "OMG IT'S COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE NO WAY THAT COULD EVAR HAPPEN BLARAGARGAHAGDHAGFJ SHIT MOVIE SHIT SUIT [FRICK] THIS MOVIE BRING ON THE BATMAN I MEAN SPIDER-MAN REBOOT GGAARRGLEEBAAAGHH!" ahem
	Boyle360 - 1/29/2012, 9:19 AM Login to report abuse Hey who the hell flagged me as "Annoying Wanker"?! I never said anything wrong! Must have been opinion based. I blame Grif. (I like blaming Grif! haha!)
	QuietStorm - 1/29/2012, 9:20 AM Login to report abuse @Superdude my thoughts exactly
	hehemata - 1/29/2012, 9:22 AM Login to report abuse i'd like to think that this happens when the avengers are deciding to take care of the invasion at its source, but can't focus on doing it without spidey's help then spidey just tells them to go, and says he's taking care of the ground level situation the avengers smile with appreciation and fly off, and spidey swings away to help another
	dailycomicsfix - 1/29/2012, 9:22 AM Login to report abuse It's possible but unlikely. All they have to do is agree to have him in there and hammer out the deal (i.e. Marvel and Sony). The Wolverine cameo in X-Men First Class did get a lot of attention but both properties are owned by Fox so it makes it very easy. Sony would probably want this more than Marvel....so who knows. Like I said, it's possible but not likely.
	PapaMidnight - 1/29/2012, 9:24 AM Login to report abuse sigh This is ridiculous...
	CaptainAmerica - 1/29/2012, 9:27 AM Login to report abuse Spider-Man Box Office Totals: 2,496,346,518.00 (3 Films) Marvel Universe Box Office Totals: 2,290,470,085.00 (5 Films) Spider-Man has made wayyyyy more money with less films and without the help of 3D and IMAX prices like Marvel had. Maybe it would actually help Marvel in some way to have Spider-Man cameo.
	WellDrawn - 1/29/2012, 9:28 AM Login to report abuse I hate Spidey's new costume. It's an unnecessary deviation from his classic costume, just for the sake of being different from the Raimi movies. It may look 'modern' to some people, but it's contemporary to the point that 20 years from now it will look dated and very '2012'ish. They should have gone classic and timeless. Peter Parker might be smart, but unless he has an industrial liquid laytex mold poring machine he stole from a movie costume department, I highly doubt an 18-19 year old kid could create the new costume he's rockin. Since they're going back to this early days as Spidey, they had a real opportunity to make the suit look a little bit more realistic/homemade, yet badass as a result. Just image the uneven stitching from Edge of time, but with the same pointed eyes from the Raimi movies.
