SONY Pictures appears to be considering at least four different titles for its forthcoming “Spider-Man” reboot.
“Spider-Man: Coming of Age,” “Spider-Man: Greatness Awaits,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Spider-Man: Suspended.”
Late last week the film studio registered over a dozen website names relating to variations of the different subtitles.
The domains currently all redirect to the main Sony Pictures website.
The new film is due to start filming later this year and will star British actor Tom Holland as the superhero and his alter-ego Peter Parker, a role previously played on screen by fellow Brit Andrew Garfield and by Tobey Maguire.
The filmmakers have previously said that in this new incarnation Peter Parker will be a high school student.
Sony has controlled the movie rights to the Marvel Comics character since 1999.
Last year they struck a deal with Disney owned Marvel Studios that now allows Spider-Man to appear on-screen in the hugely successful Marvel cinematic universe — home to characters including Robert Downey Junior’s “Iron Man” and Chris Evans’s “Captain America.”
And the web-slinger will be seen alongside those and other “Avengers” characters in this month’s “Captain America: Civil War.”
The new “Spider-Man” film is due to be released in July 2017.
