Kevin [Feige] and I never want to lose sight of one thing: Peter Parker. That he’s a normal kid. That he is orphaned again and again. That he is a teenager so everything in his life is on a higher level and everything is more important than anything. That he is nourished by goodness and guilt. That he is pursuing a greater cause, and that he is being vilified by the press.”
