Do we really want a *Spider-Man *reboot? With Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire exiting production of Spider-Man 4](The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - Movie | Moviefone), as well as the franchise as a whole, Sony is reportedly still moving forward on the next installment of the superhero series. But I think it’d be much better if the studio left the property alone, rather than giving us a disappointing effort akin to other reboots Superman Returns](Superman Returns (2006) - Movie | Moviefone), The Incredible Hulk](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-incredible-hulk/26921/main?icid=movsmartsearch) and Punisher: War Zone](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/punisher-war-zone/30773/main?icid=movsmartsearch). Instead, I’d like to propose Sony go in another kind of sideways direction with an adaptation of Marvel’s other web-slinger:
Spider-Ham
Know what kids love even more than superheroes? Talking animals! Sure, Hollywood might be apprehensive of a project like Spider-Ham, as it’s kinda part of that post-Martin Goodman Marvel slump that gave us Howard the Duck](Howard the Duck (1986) - Movie | Moviefone). But in the 24 years since that film adaptation flopped at the box office, special effects have improved to what George Lucas had originally envisioned for Howard. Spider-Ham and his alter-ego, Peter Porker, could be easily rendered in CG, a la Alvin and the Chipmunks](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/alvin-and-the-chipmunks/28897/main?icid=movsmartsearch). And hey, the *Babe *movies have made more than $300 million wordwide, while the recent CG-heavy *Charlotte’s Web *grossed near $150 million. Maybe that’s not as much dough as the other spider-person movies, but combine talking pigs with Spider-Man](Spider-Man (2002) - Movie | Moviefone) and you really can’t lose.
