Production

After Disney bought the Spider-Man film rights from Sony; many critics wonder what would a Disney/Marvel version of Spider-Man be. Then Ehren Kruger proceeded with a story that was inspired by Spider-Man 2099 and MC2. He wanted to give a more futuristic feeling. "A future Spidey flick could be wicked." Kevin Feige said during an interview during The Avengers 3 press tour. Feige love the idea and Marvel Studios began production. Matthew Vaughn was hired to be the director while Kruger does the script. Michael Arndt was hired to do the rewrite. The film was originally titled Spider-Man 2099, but since the story had Peter mostly in as a mentor; and the script being revised bringing the elements of the new Spider-Man being Peter's son and the inclusion of a new Kingpin; the studio quickly renamed the film, Forever Spider-Man as the title matches the film's overall theme of return and retribution.

Music

Henry Jackman, Vaughn's frequent composer, was hired to compose the film's score.
