So we’ve got a strange bit of news roaming around about the fourth installment of Spider Man, and it comes to us by way of a casting announcement that was made.  Check THIS out:

[TODDLER BOY]

2 or 3 year old boy to play 2 year old, Caucasian with RED HAIR, an adorable toddler with an engaging personality, on set experience preferred. IDENTICAL TWINS ONLY

…yeah.  Two year old Caucasian with red hair.  We’re all pretty much aware that Mary Jane has red hair…so is it possible at this point that Spider Man might become Spider Dad?  That’s entirely possible too, though it does kind of go against the established canon a bit.

Though let’s be honest…the established canon is in such tatters that there really isn’t a “going against it” at this point.  For crying out loud, Spidey’s been retconned so many times it’s not even funny any more.  He just sold his soul to Mephisto like ten, twelve issues ago.

So why not? Why not have Peter become a dad?
