Spider-Man Must Be Old Enough to Wipe His Ass
Tue, November 9, 2010 
Have the funniest feeling some are totally going to read more into this than it's worth.
What's Playing says Sony has decided to spike the age of Peter Parker for a planned flashback sequence in the Spider-Man reboot. They were originally looking for a 4-to-6 year old tyke, but their search is running dry I suppose and are now aiming for a young lad between 6-to-9.
The sequence in question involves Pete's mom and dad and likely explains how the li'l webslinger came into the care of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. In the comics, his parents were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and you just know some are going to speculate of a possible Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) cameo.
Don't hold your breath unless the prospects of one big cinematic universe pleasing fanboys is deemed a higher priority by two major corporations than wanting to earn some cash.

Would be cool for sure. But ya not happening while sony still has spidey. But if its for flashback scene of when may/ben got peter would be great. Always wanted a scene like this in raimi films.
My personal opinion is that Parker's parents would have died on 9/11.
Although I admit, it WOULD be a nice little surprise if Peter's parents WERE agents of SHIELD or the Gov't agency that becomes SHIELD. ... with the reboot tying into the MarvelMovieverse. I don't think it is so, however. Not to mention that it would illicit a big groan from me personally if it were so. After all, Tony Stark's father founded (or co-founded) SHIELD. Noe Stark is Iron Man, and his buddy is War Machine. Chew on that. Now some other hero's family was SHIELD connected and the offspring happens to become...?
