The first trailer for Spider-Man: Lotus has arrived.
Spider-Man: Lotus is a fan film from writer/director Gavin J. Konop that combines elements from "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" by Roger Stern, Ron Frenz, Terry Austin, Bob Sharen and Diana Albers and Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale, Steve Buccellato, Richard Starkings and Wes Abbott. Elements from both iconic stories are abundant in the new trailer.
"Growing up, Spider-Man was always a massive part of my life," Spider-Man/Peter Parker actor Warden explained on the Spider-Man: Lotus Indiegogo page. "Whether it was a distraction from problems at home, or an escape into a world greater than myself, he was there with me every step of the way – not as a flawless idol, but as someone I could directly relate to. Peter Parker is endearing because he isn't perfect – he gives up, he falls short, he collapses under pressure. Rather than an icon, he's there to reassure the world that they are not alone in their struggles...he is reacting, failing, and prevailing just like anyone else. With this film, we want to dive into his natural human flaws: What defines a man who is crushed by his own mind? We pulled from hundreds of different comic books from over the years, whether it was written by Stan Lee, or Gerry Conway, or Tom DeFalco, or any other legendary writer to take on the character, all in an effort to craft a story that honors the character in the best way that we can."
"The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" is one of the stories in 1983's The Amazing Spider-Man #248 and centers on a terminally ill kid named Timothy Harrison, whom Spider-Man visits and divulges a number of his secrets, including his origin. The story was famously adapted in Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
Spider-Man: Blue was published in 2002. The story sees Peter Parker returning to the location where Gwen Stacy was killed by the Green Goblin, with a flashback adding new depth to their relationship.
Spider-Man: Lotus is expected to debut in 2022.
