Why? For instance James Bond worked just fine with simply replacing whomever was playing Bond from time to time.

But rebooting ends up simply retelling origin stories over and over. How many times do you need to tell how Superman (yes I know that's DC) or Batman (again, DC) or Spiderman became themselves, or how their villains became them.
Apparently it's every 10 years for Spiderman.
The actual actor for these parts shouldn't matter. That they play the character and in the continuity should. But maybe I'm missing something, I never really got into comic books.
- smusings 12y agoI agree with you on James Bond there, and I think that is how things should work. I think someone else in the comments did point out that is what they did with the Hulk. I don't mind new actors, or re-boots. What I am worried about is 6 new movies coming out, and an origin story movie being half of them. Before it was one every 4-5 years, now it is one every two-years, pretty soon you get into a origin-movie-fatigue situation with two being made every year. That could just be me, but who knows?
