The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Denis Leary is in final talks to join the cast of the new Spider-Man movie playing Captain George Stacy. We know that Captain Stacy dies in a battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, but with all the changes going on in the reboot, one wonders if he’s going to bite the bullet or not.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

I’m interested to see Leary (and the writers’) take on Captain Stacy. Leary does a fantastic job on Rescue Me, and Captain Stacy, unlike many of the characters in the last round of Spidey movies, has been long gone for a while now. I’m not sure we’ll see his death in this one, with it being a reintroduction of sorts. Definitely interested to see how things turn out, though.
If there’s going to be a re-write, let’s go b@lls out. General Stacy marries Nurse Centipede at the end, with Spider-Man doing vocals, before Spidey flies off to his home planet Krypton. Paves the way for Spider-Man, the Musical.
